George Clooney is an actor.

Put him in the role of a surgeon in front of a camera, and he will do and say things the average non-surgeon viewer will agree are surgeonish. After an hour of that, we are, as average non-surgeon viewers, satisfied and entertained.

Put him in an operating theatre, and the patient will fucking die because he's not a surgeon and knows nothing about really doing surgery.

This is a post about LLMs.

@silvermoon82 So, how much money is being blown into AI? Only to look serious to tech un-savvy investors.

@impooortant Read Paul Krugmans substack. He's got the numbers. When the AI winter returns, the crash will be worse than subprime, worse than dot-com worse than tulips worse than anything we've seen. The AI-funding musical chairs is all that holds off a major recession. In the US, and consequently in the (western) world. Gobbling up real-estate, buildings, energy, engineers. @silvermoon82

@impooortant One reason it will be worse is that the AI boom will leave very little value in its wake. Dot-com gave us dark fiber that has since been turned on. Sub-prime left houses that people are now living in. AI will leave more data-center space than we can use, burnt-out NVIDIA-chips and /maybe/ some electricity generation. If we're lucky. @silvermoon82

@hakona @impooortant @silvermoon82 Data centres might end up like ghost malls. Hopefully more battery sheds than weed farms but we'll see how it goes.

A surplus energy market consolidates to the cheapest options.
In a sane nation.
