    I hope for everyone’s sake that he knows he’s lying. There will indeed be further optimizations in AI computation energy efficiency. There will eventually be ASICs for training models which run a non-standard form of floating point representation which is optimized for LLM training. Those will be more energy efficient. But the idea that LLMs or any near-future iteration on them will be the catalyst for those optimizations is nonsense.

      He's saying AI will figure out how to do nuclear fission and reorient society to prevent climate change

        Even more delusional the . There are really intensive bits of computer science dedicated to manipulative mathematical symbols and solving advanced maths. They don’t fall under the umbrella of machine learning and no amount of GPU cores will changes that.

        oh cool he wants a Culture Mind to organize human society. too bad our "ai" is just machine learning and no actual intelligence

          i would be fine with a Culture Mind to give us culture communism but i wouldn't want it made by those ghouls
