But AI is actually way ahead of where I thought it would be in 2025.
-
It's not, really.
-
I mean, I did not expect to have this kinda nonsense yet. The video creation stuff? Utterly without use, but technologically impressive.
-
It would be way more impressive if it didn't cost entire nations GDP and fresh water usage to implement.
If you throw large enough sum of money on many problems, they will be solved. Yet most AI haven't solved much, they just brute-force things.
-
I’m not sure what you mean by brute force… they are FAR more efficient than brute forcing things.
I think people vastly underestimate the computational complexity of brute forcing a solution in reality.
-
I mean LLMs. Ingressing the entire internet for this... it's nowhere near efficient.
-
Is that true though? Nobody has shown a more efficient way to solve these problems. And if they did, everybody would immediately start using that technique.
I’m confident that a more efficient way exists, but it has not yet been discovered. Hard to convince people to do a thing that nobody has invented yet.

It's not hard to say 'this isn't production ready, we need to approach it from a different angle'.
It's hard to make it happen, I get it, it's just ridiculous how money focused our society is. No problem will be solved unless it makes the rich richer.

I played with chat bots back in the AOL messenger days. There was this “Run-A-Bot” program I used to run at home, and when I was out I could chat with it and it was surprisingly interactive and realistic.
The responses were probably hard coded to expected inputs, done the hard way… as I feel it should be.
I thought wow if a company spent years add in more and more important data by hand this will be AMAZING in just a few years.
Fast forward 20 years and the AI companies did it the most lazy way possible. Just auto feeding data scraped from the web. Yikes, all the trolls and fake info included.
This new AI is just a sentence generator, it’s almost useless. They have some twisted algorithms to spit out junk but each one is leaning towards whatever twisted views the company that made it want it to spit out.

back then the buzz word was "expert system" and later "fuzzy logic", all kinda sorta leading down the same path LLM 's have taken today, they just didn't have the compute power back then.

yeah and this meme is entirely self defeating? twitter is garbage, why are you in a garbage dump complaining about the garbage?

Ever heard of the orphan crushing machine? https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/orphan-crushing_machine
You're welcome.

This was new to me, thanks!
