    But without widespread usage there won’t be any breakthroughs… Anti-LLM folk could redirect their attention to the core problem (energy source, wind and solar shouldn’t raise any concerns) but they prefer to attack the LLMs themselves. Early implementations of every technology were crazy energy ineffective at the moment when becoming practically useful.

      Anti-LLM folk don’t just have an issue with energy consumption. There’s also the issue of intellectual theft, studies that correlate worsened education with LLM usage, and the tech leadership silencing those issues by corrupting politicians. But I’m sure if they get past that they’ll understand how great LLMs are.

        We understand LLM is great at something but we can never get passed the facts that you’ve stated and it also isn’t great in all thing like we’re being sold to and forced to look at everyday. If the tech stay with the professional and not given to the general public, if there’s no cunts telling everyone to adapt or get thrown out, if there’s no mass disruption toward people’s living, i’m sure it would be much more acceptable. The biggest issue with the tech is the cunt parading it.

      No one should be arguing if LLMs are useful or worth investing into, they are and it can be a really useful tool, but the rich (seemingly spinless) lizards have managed to skyrocket the price of RAM, pushed global warming to new extrimes and jacked up electricity prices. Oh and while making an AI bubble so big and fradgile, that when (not if) popped will send us back to the great depression! All in the percute of “the next big thing”.

      to;dr LLMs are a cool tech but in the percute of it have managed to fuck up a whole bunch
