I am so ready for this absurdly overblown LLM hype cycle to wrap up, so the adults can get back to the real work.

@hosford42

wait... wait... hear me out:

combine #AI plus #Crypto !!!

OMG OMG OMG

🤭

@benroyce @hosford42
Doesn't everyone do AI trading? Buy low sell high and then automate it.... Why else would they hype up the lemmings to spend their money?

STONKS.....

I accidentally made some money because of a push on a coin I set up a bot on for testing. Something like $400 overnight a few years ago now.

@ivrezul @hosford42 if AI fizzles out except for daytrading crypto... lol!

@hosford42 @benroyce

OOOOOOooooo, Automated Sports Gambling! That's bound to get some people to pay for it.

@benroyce @ivrezul @hosford42
How should it?

Nowadays anything (not only LLM) is labelled AI.

And funny, some of that stuff (if you know what you do), does work (generally speaking not the LLM spam monsters, but other stuff can work surprisingly well)

@hosford42 unlike crypto, AI has massive enterprise money behind it so I think hype cycle will last much longer as the tech giants continue to prop it up weekend at Bernie’s style. They’ll continue to subsidize tens of billions in losses to prop up hundreds of billions in market cap value

@virtualinanity As long as the snake oil is selling, keep telling people how good it is for them.

@abucci I love how clearly you state it:

"...how do we explain the transition from a noisy lookup table–because that’s surely what these models are early in their training–to something that can think? Do we really believe the ability to think somehow emerges from massive data sets? When, exactly, does that transition arise?"

@abucci LLMs are just fancy sentence interpolation.

@hosford42 @Em0nM4stodon Somewhere, the severed paw of a monkey closes another finger.
