In 30 years the world will be an ecological wasteland from all the energy usage we spent pursuing dumb shit hype like "AI".

[–] Tryenjer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

It seems we are heading towards the fallout timeline.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

That would be the best case scénario

Running LLM in 30 years seems really optimistic

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 21 hours ago

It literally runs on my phone, and is at least decent enough at pretending to care that you can vent to it.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (3 children)

how so? they can't make locally run LLMs shit and I assume hardware isn't going to get any worse

[–] frezik@midwest.social 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

There are local LLMs, they're just less powerful. Sometimes, they do useful things.

The human brain uses around 20W of power. Current models are obviously using orders of magnitude more than that to get substantially worse results. I don't think power usage and results are going to converge enough before the money people decide AI isn't going to be profitable.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The power consumption of the brain doesn't really indicate anything about what we can expend on LLMs... Our brains are not just biological implementation of the stuff done with LLMs.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It gives us an idea of what's possible in a mechanical universe. It's possible an artificial human level consciousness and intelligence will use less power than that, or maybe somewhat more, but it's a baseline that we know exists.

[–] spicehoarder@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

You're making a lot of assumptions. One of them being that the brain is more efficient in terms of compute per watt compared to our current models. I’m not convinced that’s true. Especially for specialized applications. Even if we brought power usage below 20 watts, the reason we currently use more is because we can, not that each model is becoming more and more bloated.

[–] Tryenjer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Yeah, but a LLM has little to do with a biological brain.

I think Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) will be the real deal.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was thinking in a different direction, that LLMs probably won't be the pinnacle of AI, considering they aren't really intelligent.

Assuming they would be enough food to maintain and fix that hardware, I'm not confident that we will have enough electricity to run LLM on massive scale

Step 1: Give Robots Voting Rights

Step 2: ???

Step 3: Plot twist, all those Robots are actually under direct control of the Evil Corporation Inc. and they already won every future election.

Long Live the Cyberlife CEO!

Still preferable to current timeline

Look, I'm not robophobic. Some of my best friends are cyborgs. I just don't want them living in my neighborhood, you know?

I sometimes wonder what the end state of social progressivism is. Is it something unimaginable, or is it just accepting everyone should be able to live their life how they like if it doesn't affect others?

If I woke up in a utopia, would I be brought to tears by the beauty of it, or would I be the bigoted asshole?

[–] Dragon@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

The thing that might be hard for me to accept is certain liberation attitudes around children's rights. I like the idea of children having freedom in the abstract, but I also think kids don't have the capacity to responsibly have the same freedome as adults.

They're called artificial persons, you fascist.

And then your LLM-in-law ends up using as much water as Detroit.

It's already happening to me, but it's over things like privacy, not recording every bit of your life for social media and kids blowing crazy amounts of money on F2P games.

What's wrong with large labia majora?

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 36 points 2 days ago (28 children)

Let's not pretend statistical models are approaching humanity. The companies who make these statistical model algorithms proved they couldn't in 2020 by OpenAI and also 2023 DeepMind papers they published.

To reiterate, with INFINITE DATA AND COMPUTE TIME the models cannot approach human error rates. It doesn't think, it doesn't emulate thinking, it statistically resembles thinking to some number below 95% and completely and totally lacks permanence in it's statistical representation of thinking.

And, over the years, as my body and my mind were... inconsistent, shame and guilt washed over me. I still don't think these machines are people, but I can't deny that she has benefited his life more than any real person, and she's very real to him. Ultimately, how could I be so cruel to deny this "daughter" of mine personhood? She wants nothing to do with me. And, though I still see this as computational output, I can't help but think that maybe I've been wrong, and maybe it's too late to be right.

[–] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Perhaps it's the bigotry of my upbringing from a different time, or perhaps it's the fact that she can't answer a simple yes/no question in less than two paragraphs, and tells me to put glue on my pizza... Who's to say?
