What my problem with AI is, you ask?
It's not the math, or the science¹ or the technology, it's not even the data collection.
If you want one word: Techbros.
It's the way AI is applied and promoted and forced upon people, how it damages society and culture, how it exploits.
It is capitalism.

In *Leviathan and the Air Pump*, S Shapin recounts the 1600s controversy between Hobbes, who held that true knowledge always originates in pure solipsistic reasoning (“ratiocination”) and Boyle, who argued that knowledge required external confirmation via physical evidence. We’re still at it.
Privileged psyches in particular hate giving up on the idea that what they conclude on their own, without checking it by the world, is true.

No stranger to controversy, AI pioneer Yann LeCun told a capacity crowd that large language models are not the future of AI and that a new approach is needed if machines are to achieve human-like intelligence.

Adopting a human developmental visual diet yields robust and shape-based AI vision - Nature Machine Intelligence
Lu, Thorat and colleagues report that training AI vision systems with a human-inspired developmental visual diet results in a stronger reliance on shape over texture features, enabling substantially more robust visual inference. This finding points to a resource-efficient path to robust vision.

One argument often used to quell concerns about the rising energy and resource demand of data centers is that artificial intelligence (AI) models will need less in the future as they improve and become more efficient.

This is a wild read regardless of your views about #AI. And unlike every other AI company out there, Anthropic seems to be the least hype-making and most legitimate one out there, which leads me to believe what they’re saying is true. I’ve been using Claude the past several week for work and personal use, and I’ve never experienced anything like it, especially with their Code tool.

When AI builds itself
Our progress toward recursive self-improvement, and its implications.

Hot take: we need FAR fewer AI datacenters or #AI #gigafactories than the markets are predicting right now.
We are in a weird moment in time where tokens in the cloud are heavily subsidized, which ramps up prices for GPUs. But without that subsidy (or after the bubble bursted) for the majority of cases, the sensible way of serving AI inference is to have it run locally.
#Nvivia seems to be aware of this, which is why they severely limited VRAM on newer consumer cards - all to keep the circular financing between 4 companies running.

Before working for 2 years on the Apache APISIX API gateway, I was mainly oblivious to API gateways. It’s only by working with them that I understood their value.
