Are you denying that it can be done faster now? And that even if it can't, people with money believe it can and are funding it?

This is moving fast my dude. Look at how fast a term from Terminator made it into our daily lives.

I'd have to disagree that LLM are a dead end. They aren't actual AI, but they can crunch data at a rate that will make them a bridge to actual AI. I guess I see this is a very dangerous and inevitable stepping-stone.

LLM will be able to crunch raw numbers to make actual AI possible IMHO.

Fair point, sorry - I didn't word it well. My bad.

You seem to think something bad might happen, I think that stone is already moving and can't be stopped.

I very respectfully but firmly disagree.

Human progression isn't just advancing, it's accelerating. If you were born in 1700 and died in 1775, basically everything at the time of your death was identical to the time of your birth.

If you were born in 1900 and died in 1975, you were born to horse-drawn carriages and died after seeing a man walk on the moon.

Now, even though our "AI" isn't real AI and just language models, it can still crunch numbers historically faster. So the acceleration is objectively going to accelerate.

Me too man. I was perma-banned for calling the democratic party spineless billionaires for the expectation we'll get two bullshit candidates again.
