Fuck AI

Machine learning would be an interesting advancement indeed.

Sadly all resources are focused on LLMs, which are incapable of learning once trained (and don't really learn anything during training that winRAR wouldn't “learn” when compressing a file... much less, in fact, since LLMs are extremely lossy compressors), and which are an evident dead end when it comes to AI.

LLMs are barely better than Eliza at producing text (and equally useless at producing information), and several orders of magnitude costlier.

They are extremely harmful to society, culture, human rights, research (especially AI research) and, in the mid to long term, the economy.

They are a scam, a criminal misuse of money, time, and resources, and the sooner the bubble bursts the sooner we can start recovering from the damage they've caused and the sooner we can get back to researching proper AI (though at this point I'm fairly certain it's already too late; they've caused too much damage and global warming will kill us before we have a chance to invent something that might actually help).
