    So the silver lining to no energy breakthrough soon is they’ll eventually have to give up on this AI shit because they can’t make it run profitably.

    What we really need is another paradigm shift in AI. Current transformer models are great, but they’re clearly not quite what we’re looking for.

    That said, an AI breakthrough on that scale is about as likely as an energy breakthrough, so I guess there isn’t much practical difference, really.

    He gets invited to these Illuminati meetings and says that? Anyone not living under a rock knows the whole world needs an energy breakthrough. Half them believe we need it to save the planet and the other half want it so they can build bigger things. When have we ever not needed an energy breakthrough?

    I like how many years ago, the limitations to programming was the hardware. This led to programmers needing to be creative with their solutions. Maybe they should find better ways to train their AI…

      Because it isn’t.

      To these kind of people, pursuing their own ideas is so much more important than feeding all humans on the planet, just for example.

    Altman said he wished the world would embrace nuclear fission as an energy source as well.

    “Ugh, everyone should just like accept fission so I can have my own nuclear power plant”
