On 22 April 1984 I sat at on the bank of a very full Zambezi River as it plunged over the edge of Victoria Falls - one could sit there in those days, no safety barrier, just tree-roots to sit on - watching the detached droplets of water that flew off from the main flow like diamonds as it plunged over the edge, and thought "One day each drop will be more valuable than a diamond". Agh nie, as they say in Afrikaans.
Breaking genius thought!!! All we have to do is persuade Taiwan to blow up it's chip tech. One single chokepoint and we're all saved. That way, the AI can't advance, the surveillance state can't see and the world slows down to being manageable. No thanks necessary, my pleasure.
Depends on use case. If you are just managing inventory at a warehouse let's say, a local LLM running on a Raspberry Pi will do the job. Everyone thinks AI is an arms race, and it is to an extent. At the same time, no one is realized they are not using the AI they have today at anywhere near it's potential. They just clone voices or deep fake vids and think it's cool.
Perhaps I'm just unaware of the different interfaces available to LLMs but from what I've seen they're just a better search engine. They hoover up text and images and figure out the best fit for the prompt. There's no way to use that in inventory management which is inputting an item into the inventory by hand via a barcode reader then the thing shows up in a list and you set the number rec'd and possibly take a pic and/or put the bills of lading through a copier that saves the images and associates them with the inventory item. I don't see how an LLM is applicable to any of those tasks. So I guess I'm not seeing the applicability of LLMs beyond writing haiku or songs, etc.
I index all of my article in a google spreadsheet. But I don't do it. I have a folder with all my articles in it and I have an AI monitor that folder. It also has access to the spreadsheet. When I tell it there's a new article, it updates the sheet with the URL, date, free or paid, social media links and so on. With inventory, you could simply feed the QR to the AI, it would read it, and update the db. There's a million use cases!
Ya, no doubt AI is good at what you described. In essence, those tasks are 20 line scripts. I could figure out how to write a speech to text interpreter that would crank out a script. I still say AI is far from what’s being promised/sold. To even consider making it the one and only interface to the government is ludicrous on it’s face.
Humans breathe when they read.

A valuable thinker.

Lol to be honest AI Elvis has left the building!
AI is fake. It's only value is surveillance and if it's forced to run on slow chips then it can't even do that.

Well that's fucking depressing.
Could be, but we can change things. Stay tuned for my Gen-Z revolutions coming in December!
