Yes of course I'm asserting that. While the performance of LLMs may be plateauing, the cost, context window, and efficiency is still getting much better. When you chat with a modern chat bot it's not just sending your input to an LLM like the first public version of ChatGPT. Nowadays a single chat bot response may require many LLM requests along with other techniques to mitigate the deficiencies of LLMs. Just ask the free version of ChatGPT a question that requires some calculation and you'll have a better understanding of what's going on and the direction of the industry.

OpenAI, Google, Anthropic admit they can’t scale up their chatbots any further

Lol, no they didn't. The quotes this articles are using are talking about LLMs not chatbots. This is yet another stupid article from someone who doesn't understand the technology. There is a lot of legitimate criticism for the way this technology is being implemented but FFS get the basics right at least.

To be fair, some of my weekends have been a mistake.

I'm not sure about -15C but don't operate a freezer at -15K as it violate the fundamental laws of thermodynamics.

I had a really good friend on MySpace that I lost touch with. I think he was a little paranoid, we didn't speak much and he was always looking over his shoulder. His name was Tom.

That is a very VC baiting title. But it's doesn't appear from the abstract that they're claiming that LLMs will develop to the complexity of AGI.

Do you have a non paywalled link? And is that quote in relation to LLMs specifically or AI generally?

largely based on the notion that LLMs will, with continued scaling, become artificial general intelligence

Who said that LLMs were going to become AGI? LLMs as part of an AGI system makes sense but not LLMs alone becoming AGI. Only articles and blog posts from people who didn't understand the technology were making those claims. Which helped feed the hype.

I 100% agree that we're going to see an AI market correction. It's going to take a lot of hard human work to achieve the real value of LLMs. The hype is distracting from the real valuable and interesting work.

This is 100% OPs weird fetish but props to this hussle

This is true on algorithmic platforms that reward "engagement" of any kind. I didn't get that sense from pre 2010 Facebook or Twitter and I don't get that sense on fediverse platforms.

And they have a German accent. I can tell from the way they type.

It's not a binary question but a good opener would be to ask the panel what AI tools they use. That would also help to set the expectations of the audience for the level of follow up questions.

Hosting local has become even more important with the vulnerability of submarine cables.

Most Americans and Russians are great people. Unfortunately even great people can fall for propaganda.

donor who said all black women should be killed

Where did you get this part?

What's the context here?

What kind of fees are you paying? That chart does not reflect the market. For instance, if you had invested in a low management fee S&P 500 index find you would expect to have seen a 50% increase over the same period.

Yay! I'm in! I'm very excited about this
