    Management makes me laugh. They often make decisions on a whim without thorough planning. In my opinion, AI is here to stay. However, as companies like Ford have realized, you cannot replace humans with AI. AI is simply a tool for humans.

      whats the AI ponzi schemes all fall down, it would likely be reduced to small scale usage if at all.

      Everytime I am sitting in a meeting and management starts talking about AI, I find my self thinking we never got these presentations for windows Notepad (or any other software for that matter).

        The problem is that managers think AI is this oracle intelligence we’ve created that we can collaborate with, that it should be treated like a supernatural partner, and that it has greater abilities than we humans do. They actually believe this.

        WHY ELSE would we GIVE UP all our computing power in order to have it? Surely it must be real because EVERYONE IS DOING IT!

        No dumbass, your friends jumped off a bridge and you said “oh, must be fine”.

          it has greater abilities than we humans do.

          … It has greater abilities than their subordinates do. Not themselves; they are the greatest in everything, of course.

    Sure, revolutionize the whole concept of artificial intelligence in the span of three years, but it’s not fast enough for clueless CEOs and shareholders.

    … You know what, you’re right! Let’s just cut our losses and stop the whole thing.

      The whole thing was based on ruthless extrapolation. LLM do better with more compute, so keep throwing compute at it until you’re in free money land. The last hurrah for Silicon Valley as they’re all out if ideas now.

        LLMs do better with more compute, but it’s logarithmic.

        They raced up the soft part of the curve, thinking it was the start of an exponential.

        I think that’s the core issue; they bet a trillion dollars expecting compounding returns, and got diminishing ones.

        If I were an employee/shareholder, I’d have been happy to hear the first part of his message (“oh good he finally gets it”) and then miserable again when he says he does believe the singularity will happen, just in 3-6 months.

          Yeah, that’s the ruthless extrapolation. It’s like plotting the air speed of planes from Wright brothers to Concorde, continue drawing the line going upward and conclude that by 2026 you’ll go from Paris to New York in five minutes. It never works like that.

    Pouring half a trillion dollars into a wishing well, doesn’t make it work.
    The guy is high on his own supply, he thought if he just threw enough Nvidia AI chips into an LLM, that it would achieve consciousness!

    So he can argue that things aren’t going as he hoped they would, but that will probably not happen anytime soon, and he will probably waste even more money and another decade chasing this delusion, just like he did with the Metaverse that was supposed to be “the next internet”!!

    Even if this dream of his is within reach in a not so distant future. Meta is unlikely to be the ones that succeed, because Zuckerberg is the top project leader, and he simply has no idea what he is dealing with.
