Comment on Microsoft inks deal to restart Three Mile Island nuclear reactor to fuel its voracious AI ambitions

  One of the major problems with LLMs is it’s a “boom”. People are rightfully soured on them as a concept because jackasses trying to make money lie about their capabilities and utility – never mind the ethics of obtaining the datasets used to train them.

  They’re absolutely limited, flawed, and there are better solutions for most problems … but beyond the bullshit LLMs are a useful tool for some jobs and they’re not going away.

    I cannot think of one single application where an LLM is better or even equivalent than having a person do the job. It’s real only use is to trade human workers for cheaper but inferior output, at the cost of mankind as a whole because we have in excess labor and in shortage power.

      There are jobs where it’s not feasible or practical to pay an actual human to do.

      Human translators exist and are far superior to machine translators. Do you hire one every time you need something translated in a casual setting, or do you use something Google translate? LLMs are the reason modern machine translation is is infinitely better than it was a few years ago.

        Google Translate was functional BEFORE llms were a hit, arguably moreso, and we had datasets on human language which are now polluted by AI making it harder now to build dictionaries than it was before.

  That’s one groups opinion, we still see improving LLMs I’m sure they will continue to improve and be adapted for whatever future use we need them. I mean I personally find them great in their current state for what I use them for

    What skin do you have in this game? Leading industry experts, who btw want to SELL IT TO YOU, told you it has hit a ceiling. Why do you refute it so much? Let it die, we will all be better off.

      Even if it didn’t improve further there are still uses for LLMs we have today. That’s only one kind of AI as well, the kind that makes all the images and videos is completely separate. That has come on a long way too.

        I made this chart for you:

        ------ Expectations for AI

         

         

         

         

         

        ----- LLM’s actual usefulness

        ----- What I think if it

         

         

        ----- LLM’ usefulness after accounting for costs

      I use them regularly for personal and work projects, they work great at outlining what I need to do in a project as well as identifying oversights in my project. If industry experts are saying this, then why are there still improvements being made, why are they still providing value to people, just because you don’t use them doesn’t mean they aren’t useful.

        Maybe you saw the news about a major hit to US Cybersecurity due to morons like you copy-pasting from the GeePeeTee?

  There are always new techniques and improvements. If you look at the current state, we haven’t even had a slowdown
