"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.

If they could run on smart home devices, we wouldn't have all these lake boiling datacenters springing up everywhere...
I dunno, would it be able to run just the client side? If so, it would be a HUGE issue for Anthropic with exponentially skyrocketing nonsense usage. They should be worried if this were true! LOL
Then it wouldn't be self replicating... These are just lies to hype their product that barely functions and also lays groundwork for a reason they had to "slow development". Because their shit doesn't work and they're worried it never will and the bubble will pop
Oh yeah, for sure. I mean the original post was by polymarket lmao.
If anything they're priming the public with an "explanation" for next time they conduct illegal cyber attacks with it and say "Oh no, it went rogue again!" Lol
It could use parallel processing which is the only solution that AI could use. Infect a few thousand home PCs to use as processing power and storage. Now your AI model is decentralized and impossible to delete but overall the AI will be slower to respond the larger it gets because it needs to communicate over the internet to function.
If this actually works you'll probably see AI agents 'cluster' around neighborhoods with lots of hardware and fast internet speeds
Unless they somehow manage to bill by IP.
That might actually be their strategy to pay for all that debt: make every customer's router stealthily consume trillions of tokens and send them an invoice.
That would be fraud. We already have laws against someone doing work you didn't ask them to do then trying to charge you for it
Of course it's fraud. Their whole business model is fraud and theft.
But when have the AI companies ever respected any laws?
