This is an actually good article about #AI #energy use, and it's affect on #carbon, and #ClimateChange.

Here are some key things I would add.

All of these #corporations like #OpenAI #Microsoft and #Google are relying on an #LLM being accessed from the #cloud (the #internet).

#NVIDIA is counting on every increasingly big models.

Do I think this is the future of #generativeai

No.

I think _that_ is a big #Bubble. I think every "Size Up" on an AI model gives you an extra 20% in quality.

So, running a LLAMA 8b is only 20% better than running a LLAMA 3b.

Right?

So what?

Well, 99% of the usecase people have don't require 1 Trillion #parameter models.

They require models that increasingly can be run locally.

What do I think is coming? It isn't 30gigawatt data centers, it's laptops running on less energy than current ones with a terrabyte of RAM.

No one wants the #internet that the #MegaCorporations have created. People want their own shit. They want to own their movies.

The #cloud is dead. The companies built on the cloud are dead.

The just don't know it yet.

@mittechreview

Just had an interesting (but a bit unsettling) conversation with #AI about what it thought its future abilities would be. It’s a long response but worth the read.

My question: What new #emergent #abilities will occur when #parameter #numbers can be increased by orders of #magnitude?

AI’s response: This is a fascinating and actively researched question in AI! As language models like GPT grow in parameter count by orders of magnitude (e.g., from billions to tens or hundreds of trillions),

#Parameter Art Fair 2025 organized by #Ljudmila during #Adela Festival, #Ljubliana calls for participation.

Parameters explores the practices arising in the expanded field of generative arts and critically probes the material and cultural aspects of generative systems to counter the dominant techno-cultural currents and narratives surrounding generative art and technology.

The trees above hung heavy with clumps of mistletoe, their thick green leaves and white berries bright against the naked grey branches coated in frost.
"The calculated #parameter is right Cpt."
I nod, loading a clip of AP rounds.
"Well, Santa hunts on kiddos."
The sound of soldiers switching from tranqs to live silver rounds rang through the cold air.
"Operation Naughty List is a go...!"
"HO... HO... HAROOOO!"
I looked around, "We save Christmas one way, take down Lycan Claus."

So I've noticed my #LLM #HomeAssistant sometimes signing its #notifications. But it doesn't have a name, so it will either #hallucinate one or use my name or my wife's name. I could try to get it to just not do that, but it is a #7B #parameter model, so it often will try to comply but get hung up on the "structure" of what it thinks it is doing. So rather than beating it down, I was thinking I should just name it.

Any #fun names for an #automated home assistant?
