I wish #eternalseptember would end and the #aiwinter would get here soon.

Another #AIwinter? A less frequently discussed twist is how energy efficient meat computers are. But I hold the bubble bursting will be a cleansing fire in which the #AGI boys and endless startups w/o an actual or wanted business application will die. #LLMs will remain, we will learn to live with these ghosts. A time of focus on what #AI can actually do is upon us.*
*And that will be in the hands of data science!

What is old is new again. Forty years ago in the #ComputerChronicles, people were talking about disappointments with #AI. And of course, the result was an #AIwinter until the 2000s.

cathillWhen will there be large protests against AI companies? Huge capital investment in AI is increasing energy use, causing pollution, taking away skilled labor, and causing shortages of chips.

With all the hype surrounding large language models, I am really hoping for the imminent arrival of a long AI winter.

Olam NewsAI Boom: Why Did It Take Decades to Finally Arrive?
The recent AI Boom seems sudden, but its foundation was built over decades. Discover the key factors that held it back.https://www.olamnews.com/technology/ai/2814/why-the-ai-boom-took-decades/
Miguel Afonso CaetanoGreat article about the history of past AI winters:
"The most recent talk of a looming winter has been triggered by growing concerns among investors that AI technology may not live up to the hype surrounding it—and that the valuations of many AI-related companies are far too highl. In a worst case scenario, this AI winter could be accompanied by the popping of an AI-inflated stock market bubble, with reverberations across the entire economy. While there have been AI hype cycles before, they’ve never involved anything close to the multiple hundreds of billions of dollars that investors have sunk into the generative AI boom. And so if there is another AI winter, it could involve polar vortex levels of pain.
The markets have been spooked recently by comments from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who told reporters he thought some venture-backed AI startups were grossly overvalued (although not OpenAI, of course, which is one of the most highly-valued venture-backed startups of all time). Hot on the heels of Altman’s remarks came a study from MIT that concluded that 95% of AI pilot projects fail.
A look at past AI winters, and what caused them, may give us some indication of whether that chill in the air is just a passing breeze or the first hints of an impending Ice Age. Sometimes those AI winters have been brought on by academic research highlighting the limitations of particular AI techniques. Sometimes they have been caused by frustrations getting AI tech to work well in real world applications. Sometimes both factors have been at play. But what previous AI winters all had in common was disillusionment among those footing the bill after promising new advances failed to deliver on the ensuing hype."
