Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate

- Current approaches are displaying exponential demands for more resources with barely noticable “improvements”, so new approaches will be needed.
- Advances in electronics are getting ever more difficult with increasing drawbacks. In 1980 a processor would likely not even have a heatsink. Now the current edge of that Moore’s law essentially is datacenter only and frequently demands it to be hooked up to water for cooling. SDRAM has joined CPUs in needing more active cooling.

Stockfish on ancient hardware will still mop up any human GM

Umm… ok, but that’s a bit beside the point?
Unless you mean to include those 1980 computers, in which case stockfish won’t run on that… More than about 10 year old home computer would likely be unable to run it.

Only because they are not 32 bit so they won’t support enough RAM. But a processor from the 90s could, even though none of the programs of the time were superhuman on commodity hardware.
The chess programs improved so much that even running with 1000 times slower hardware they are still hilariously stronger than humans
