Confirmed: Microsoft stops new data centres worldwide

AI IS THE FUTURE, just don't look down

The future for the (very few) legitimate uses of AI is small local models, like we’ve been using for a decade without the buzz.

Those huge models are a nice novelty, and that’s about it.

We've all had our fun now with watching companies and investors throwing billions on these LLMs but after all that we have something which does not solve billion dollar problems.. They've already scrubbed all the data out there and let's be frank here, the LLMs still suck. It feels like chatting with these LLMs is like overcoming an obstacle, I end up doing web searches myself most of the time anyway. These LLMs can't think or reason, let's stop trying to fake it and start using these models for something useful. Medical is the obvious one. Surveillance and military will probably be where the shift will be to primarily. There will be interesting things with pattern recognition for sound and images, but that's about it.
