‘Nothing has changed… or I haven’t changed…’ paraphrasing… it sounds scary to me, considering the increasing responsibility…. I believe he has seen too much already… towards the end… facial expressions…

Let me know how you perceived the interview if you get a chance…

@lianna @bpaassen overhyping your research result is not unique to the LLM and other ML related fields.

I have read so many novel and revolutionary papers about neuromorphic electronic devices and other semiconductor related innovations, that one would think that silicon based computing is surely on the decline, while in fact it is not.

In my estimation the bigger issue is that with the hype behind the "AI" stuff is used to mismanage capital to an incredible degree.

Elon Musk’s xAI is running 35 methane gas burning turbines (enough for a small city) while only having a permit for 15 to power the Colossus supercomputer with over 100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs in Tennessee. The Southern Environmental Law Center contends the generators are "illegal," yet they can keep running, reports The Guardian.

"... the belief that AGI can be realized is harmful. If the power of technology is overestimated and human skills are underestimated, the result will in many cases be that we replace something that works well with something that is inferior.."

This is what's happening, eg government thinking that replacing human judges with Trained MOLEs allows them to cut costs *and* get more "rational" judgments. It doesn't do either.

"... when it is argued that computers are able to duplicate a human activity, it often turns out that the claim presuppose an account of that activity that is seriously simplified and distorted. To put it simply: The overestimation of technology is closely connected with the underestimation of humans."

#AI hype is like blockchain hype. It's not as useless as critics think, but way less transformative than boosters think.
