AI is burning a shit ton of energy and researchers’ time though!
That’s not the worst. It is burning billions for the companies with no signs of them ever becoming close to profitable.
You say this like it’s a bad thing?
Well duh
I knew
Joseph Weizenbaum: "No shit? For realsies?"
That’s standard for emerging technologies. They tend to be loss leaders for quite a long period in the early years.
It’s really weird that so many people gravitate to anything even remotely critical of AI, regardless of context or even accuracy. I don’t really understand the aggressive need for so many people to see it fail.
I just can't see AI tools like ChatGPT ever being profitable. It's a neat little thing that has flaws but generally works well, but I'm just putzing around in the free version. There's no dollar amount that could be ascribed to the service that it provides that I would be willing to pay, and I think OpenAI has their sights set way too high with the talk of $200/month subscriptions for their top of the line product.

Wouldn't call that a "summary", but interesting read all the same. Thanks for the link.
Makes sense that the company that just announced their qbit advancement would be disparaging the only "advanced" thing other companies have shown in the last 5 years.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
