No. There is no world in which LLMs and the resources they devour is worth whatever hypothetical use case it has. Saying this is an "American" thing is fucking frankly disgusting.
it's a reality in china -- the people who control it get to decide.
It doesn't matter who controls it. What matters is that it is of little value if any to humanity and consumes unfathomable amounts of energy and water to run the data centers that power it. There is no argument that will ever convince me that there is any worthwhile tradeoff there. I don't give a shit if it's China doing it, it is still bad.
You're the one true leftist who knows everything and all AES are bad because they don't follow your random made up rules, am I getting this right?
Ultras = useless
What a ridiculous strawman. I do support AES I still think LLMs are bad and not worth the resources they consume fuck off.
Oh in that case are you not interested at all why they have five year plans for technology you simply write off as "bad"?
Think about it. What do they see, that you don't see?
I think they see a market to compete in better than capitalist economies. I still think LLMs are a net negative for all life on earth.
I think I made a mistake earlier when I assumed you were some sort of communist.
