"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

By definition LLM models need massive external input in order to improve. So they can't really be disconnected. Top that off with them only being useful when you can interact with them from many or remote locations, and there's just no way to really keep them secure. They need massive communication to accomplish anything useful, and there's no real way to keep massive communication secure.
You don't have to improve them out in the field. Just collect metrics on their behavior and train a central model on that data, then you upgrade the local models on each unit when they are brought in for maintenance. I'm simplifying, of course. And terrified.
That's the thing, the local models aren't going to have the processing power to really beat deterministic systems. So you're going to need comms at some point to really get any kind of edge. Otherwise dumb systems get the job done for pennies, while you're having to produce high end chips to handle local processing and back end training, just to significantly out perform a garage door trip light. Yes, an exaggerated comparison, but the point holds.
