"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.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

He's not wrong, just completely fucking tonedeaf.
Ok, yea, sure, from a resource allocation perspective, it does make the most sense to centralize power. Having one giant system running at 80% is more efficient than having a thousand small systems running at 20%. This is why we virtualize servers.
The problem is, we want and need our RAM for more things than having conversations with your "brain"-washed hallucinating spy-bots.
Yes one centeralized system running php is the way to go.
Only lisp on one centralized gigant lisp-machine.
No it is also wrong
Sorry, but telling something is "wrong" without any "correct" alternative is questionable, too.
As if, how are we sure it's not trolling if no actual evidence/reference is stated by just "wrong"?
Correct is that anyone can own processing power
...sigh...it seems people think that I'm siding with Sham Faultman here. I'm not.
There are, however, absolutely benefits to consolidating tech. Lots of them. Far better compute/watt and compute/dollar. Like...significantly. It makes a lot of sense for businesses to consolidate into VMs on a handful of large clustered servers, as opposed to running a bazillion pizza boxes each doing one thing.
There are also drawbacks to consolidating tech. Lots of them. Probably chief anong them being privacy and ownership of data. And that's a big thing.
I don't think you side with him, I'm just correcting that he also is wrong in his statement, which is incorrect and no it is not better to pool all compute into datacenters
