The Information“Pharma Bro” Martin Shkreli, Y Combinator president Garry Tan and Notion co-founder Chris Prucha looked up at the cartoon of a shirtless man, his six-pack abs gleaming against a swirling galactic background. They were eager to listen to what the man had to say. The cartoon was the avatar for ...
Well, I am for the freedom of research which is an important right since 'NGOs' even try to make technologies 'bad' with complete lies (Like Greenpeace with GMO).The complete AGI warnings are basically as 'science based' like flying atomic car predictions in the 70ties. It is just following self interests to have more 'control' but looking how 'correct' Werner von Braun was as Nasa Boss with flying cities in space, it seems completely overblown with this AGI discussion. This is like people thinking CERN if producing a black hole and destroying earth.https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-65886125 Meta AI lead about this... This is one of the three godfathers of AI after all.In the end, the system cannot have 'unlimited revolution anyway since it otherwise decays in 'mass war' clearly before you reach 'singularity'.

It will be interesting... but new driver software may be the way since we not know how good 'ai' chips still can get with Moore's law. (1nm or similar is the end...) Problem is that GPU got much faster in the last years than Moore's law predict but not if you look on the price for each calculation...

Reading about Sepp Hochreiter’s xLSTM…probably it is just not the good time to invest into any LLMs for the next year. I mean, it’s like pip trading right now - many changes inside of the day you can make use of, but a lot of energy is needed and losing some “transactions” is inevitable. Mid term it feels to stay put and observe the market is much better
