Coffeezilla asks: “Is the LAM a Scam? Down the rabbit hole we go.”
There’s folks who think it’s as amazing as all the tech firms tell us:
And we’re all gonna die
Or
And life will be amazing
Then there’s folks who think AI is hype whack bananas
And think it’s a scam.
And lastly,
The folks who see that we’ve already changed life as we know it with AI. That there’s still massive potential, but folks in categories 1 and 2(, and 3,) are all kinda nuts.
There’s a 5th type - those of us who understand that the technology itself isn’t a scam and has valid uses (even if many “AI” startups actually are scams), but think there isn’t that much potential left with current methods due to the extreme amount of data and energy required (which seems to be supported by some research lately, but only time will tell).
That’s in line with type 4. I guess it needs subtypes like 1 and 2 or whatever.
I agree with your view there, but also believe that it won’t take much to get from where we are to where we begin to have novel solutions/approaches to things like quantum computation, superconductors, cold fusion, nuclear fusion, et al.
Should that happen, I would disagree. Until some other stronghold gives way, I agree.
I’m in whatever subset of 4 believes advancements in AI are necessary almost to the point of being an ethical obligation at this point. Transhuman or bust.
I find there’s 4 kinds of folks talking about AI.

And lastly,
4 gang.

Quantum computers seem most plausible.

4 gang Or more accurately (from what I see) 4th 1 gang
