Good. They still have a fuckton of money, so let them spend them on something perspective.
Perspective?
Hm… Language nuances, sorry. I meant “promising”. In my native language it sounds almost identical to “perspective”.
You think spending on AI is promising? What’s promising about it?
Yes, I think that research in LLMs might intensify progress in actual AI research. I don’t understand your question. You ask what is promising in an intellect that can think all day, don’t make stupid mistakes and is less dependent on bribes and political situation?
Putting aside the numerous issues we are seeing from AIs impact on the environment and people’s mental health, I don’t think any of the current investment in AI will result in an actual AGI. In the slim chance that it does I think that AGI will be completely beholden to the corporate entity that develops it, and be completely biased towards the will of whoever owns that corporate entity. Given the general state of corporate ethics in the modern age I don’t see that as a good thing. Promising is not a word I would use to describe the current AI industry or any of its outputs.
This excuse template is applicable to any technology. “Environment, mental health, corporate ethics, bla-bla-bla. Stop progress, we love the status quo!”.
Ridiculous, you said you wanted something free from bribery or policial influence but a corporate controlled AI is exactly that. I would say good luck with that but this nonsense affects us all. Progress is great when it benefits everyone but is almost always terrible when delivered by the an unregulated market.
