    I remember seeing videos in the early 80s when US federal seatbelt requirements went into effect and everyone in an uproar about it. Screaming government overreach, the nanny state, etc. Now anyone not wearing a seatbelt is an idiot.

    AI will end up being a useful utility and those opposing it the loudest now will no longer be loud about it. Right now it’s expensive, it’s inefficient, it uses too many resources much like cars from the 80s compared to cars now. As Moore’s Law kicks in it will use fewer resources, become more efficient, and more accurate

      There are very probably architectural limitations which will prevent large language models from ever getting much better than they are right now. They are most likely a dead end.

          If you compare similar models, yeah. A modern Corolla is like 500 pounds heavier. Let’s not get started on trucks, or the fact that most cars are now SUVs.

          Plus there’s a hell of a lot more of them.

          And more roads. And more parking lots.

          I’d much prefer reliable, clean public transit, and it’s entirely doable. But better cars too because people.

      Seatbelts in cars actually do what they say on the tin. LLMs have some uses but for most things they don’t do what they say on the tin. AI boosters and bad comparisons. Can’t name a better duo

      So AI of the future will be more useful in more cases and use less energy and other resources. Based on… nothing within the AI technology, but on a very loose analogy.
