Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

A bunch of pensions will lose a lot of money. The billionaires will know when it's the right time to short it, and so they'll get wealthier.
Higher end models like Mythos will still exist but be too expensive for most people to use. Lower end models will still exist. People will start developing actual tools focused on specific tasks using LLM algorithms instead of AGI. Companies will be able to buy LLM appliances they can put into their server rooms that will help with data analysis which doesn't require sharing data which will be more useful for use with information they want to keep private.
Eventually people will have PCs, then laptops, then phones with chips optimized for LLM algorithms which don't require sharing private information with a data center. It won't be AGI, but it will be able to automate things on the computer and help with stuff like helping with grammar. People will be able to say something "computer, bring up the financial report from last week" and it'll be able to do that. But it's not going to be an AGI thing, just be able to find the correct program, files, etc. based on some simple cues.
Similar to how the dot com bubble popped. Some chatter from billionaires about getting out results in them all shorting it at the same time, the share values collapse, but they make a bunch of money.
Yes, when they've gotten the last investment dollar, the billionaires will know it's peaked which will result in a big short.
They don't care about environmental effects LOL.
You need to be invited to whatever is the present day equivalent of Epstein Island to know that.
Yup. We didn't stop using the internet after the dot com bubble burst. It's just the financials of it wasn't insane anymore. LLMs can't do everything, but it's an algorithm that's useful in some scenarios. It will still be useful in those scenarios, but people will stop being weirdos thinking that it'll be able to do everything. It's an algorithm, there's a cost for the hardware and power to run it, in many cases it won't work at all, in many cases it'll work but be cost prohibitive, and then in a few cases it will be actually useful and cost effective. We'll move to using it for only the latter case.
Over time, it will get better and be used for more things, some of the things they're promising now may become a reality in a few decades. Kinda like the ridiculous idea to sell dog food on the internet during the dot com bubble. It was ridiculous then, but eventually the logistics caught up and more than a decade after the dot com bubble you could indeed buy dog food on the internet. I imagine it will be like that with AI. Eventually some (though not all) of the things they say you'll be able to do in six months may actually happen... 15 years from now. But it will probably be enshittified and suck more than you imagined it would be.
The only piece I think you missed is that nation states and surveillance corps will buy up foreclosed data centers for pennies on the dollar to use them to power a surveillance/police state.
