Neural nets are much better at processing language than anything produced by the Chomsky school of linguistics.

Hey mate, did you get your PhD or a fucking Nobel in linguistics by any chance? No? Just talking about shit you apparently have no idea about?

I didn't even know you could be a crank about linguistics, that's pretty amazing. What other otherwise really boring fields are you going to tackle, geodesy?

You're were hired for a backend team. They started learning React as you joined.

Ye that is when you strike. Build a guillotine if necessary. The fuck.

Every AI spring brings an even harsher AI winter.

Winter is coming.

Well the main problem is that a datacenter is running much more than just AI. You'd need to somehow subtract "normal" cloud usage from just the promptfondling.

That's the fucking problem, it's impossible to tell since MSFT won't tell you directly, and only the people who run the datacenters could.

The only relatively reliable numbers I was able to find were in this research paper by Luccioni and Strubell from ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency 2024. Now, that's an obscure conference (not even ranked by CORE), by Dr. Luccioni appears to be right on the money about dangers of AI (https://www.sashaluccioni.com/).

Where's that person who was arguing with me last time that AI doesn't actually use that much energy and the corps missing their climate goals was not AI related

Why are you saying that LLMs are useless when they're useless only most of the time

I'm sorry but I've been circling my room for an hour now seeing this and I need to share it with people lest I go insane.

Go ahead and ignore all the cases where it’s getting answers correct

  • Sir, half of the patients are dead!
  • Ye sure, just ignore the half that survived then!
