Yeah, I'm not arguing against efficiency on the software side. The way I read the article isn't really that it advocates for brute force, but rather that we should be focusing on general solutions because they scale. The work on efficiency should focus on how to make search and statistical inference more efficient. Incidentally, we see a lot of that work happening in China right now precisely because they don't have as much compute to work with.
