Sounds like they need to hire a lot of people now. Is this how Trump is fixing unemployment?

That’s true. The general sentiment of AI will influence investor behavior and the availability of money. If LLMs fail spectacularly, it could make it harder to find investors open to the idea of using AI for various other things too. The past 10 years has seen a massive rise in new AI companies, so they will be able keep on selling tried and tested AI even when investor money dries up.

I wasn’t talking about delusional LLMs and creepy image generators.

AI as a whole encompasses so much more. Like, image resolution up scaling, cleaning a noisy audio signal, generating new frames to make choppy stop motion animation smoother, finding optimal paths for logistics chains, designing a smart way to pack a pallet full of random boxes just to name a few. All of that stuff is already happening and is here to stay.

Cramming silly LLMs into every application might take a hit though. They could still be a solution to something, but we just haven’t quite figured it out yet.

Can’t close the Pandora’s box. AI is already out there and it’s being used in a variety of places. Some of those things are good, bad, ugly, useless, stupid or even terrifying. Once AI reaches the plateau of productivity, all the useless and stupid applications are gone, but the other ones will stay.

Being better than Meta is not exactly a high bar to clear.😄

Anyway, it’s nice to see that Google is taking at least one thing seriously.

😆 Randall knows what he is talking about.

Nah. Rookie numbers. Burning high sulfur coal is the way to maximize pollution, suffering and death. Might not be as cheap as solar, but that’s the price you have to pay if you want to be the number one enemy of humanity and the rest of the planet.

Maybe Google is building their own gas power plants, just like these guys.

Haven’t heard from Nicole in a very long time. I hope she’s fine

If you start lots of pointless wars all around the globe, you’ll unlock the “war” achievement. Keep on spending like that, and “famine” will soon follow.

If my children are all psychopaths, they might actually appreciate a name like this.

If you’re still using some old and insecure encryption, you’re basically inviting the kids to practice their skills with your WLAN. If you notice that they’ve figured out how to crack WEP, it’s time to move on to WPA and see how long it takes them to find a way in.

 

As LLMs become the go-to for quick answers, fewer people are posting questions on forums or social media. This shift could make online searches less fruitful in the future, with fewer discussions and solutions available publicly. Imagine troubleshooting a tech issue and finding nothing online because everyone else asked an LLM instead. You do the same, but the LLM only knows the manual, offering no further help. Stuck, you contact tech support, wait weeks for a reply, and the cycle continues—no new training data for LLMs or new pages for search engines to index. Could this lead to a future where both search results and LLMs are less effective?
