    This guy has completely lost the plot. I don’t think it’s possible to be even more disconnected from reality.

      Fun fact: if true AGI were a thing, those AI programs would be people and not paying them for their work would be slavery.

        This is honestly one of the scarier parts about the rhetoric, they’re basically implying they would happily enslave a sentient being.

    These fuckers will claim whatever nonsense to keep themselves relevant enough to take on more debt before they collapse.

      Looking at their history they were always able to create markets for their GPUs and AI has been obviously incredible for them. There will be the next hot thing after AI and they’ll try to have that, too. The alternatives to CUDA are not there yet, ROCm is still lacking and fiddly. I see a lot of things happening but NVIDIA collapsing for whatever reason is not part of that.

      I agree, they start to sound desperate to keep their current momentum going. I think the bubble will burst soon. Things look solid until they’re not.

    LLMs aren’t AI, let alone AGI.

    They’re fucking prediction engines with extra functions.

      The best description I’ve ever heard of LLMs is “a blurry jpeg of the internet”. From the perspective of data compression and retrieval, they’re impressive… but they’re still a blurry jpeg. The image doesn’t change, you can only zoom in on different parts of it and apply extra filters, and there’s nothing you can truly do about the compression artifacts (what we call “hallucinations”). It can’t think, it can’t learn, it just is, and that’s all it will ever be.

      So are we. Your definition of AI also seems off. It’s a field of computer science dealing with seemingly cognitive algorithms. Basically everything that is not rule based programming. I work in AI production since over ten years. It is absolutely valid and necessary to hate AI, but not to deny technical functionality. Also the other answer to your comment: of course training a neural network is a form of learning. Wether it is by reinforcement or by training data. There are many applications of ML since many years before LLMs, it makes no sense to deny that it exists.

      It’s an industrial sized prediction engine. And when you apply that to bioscience, it predicts things that saves lives.
