"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

That's it! Lamba. 137B, apparently.
I was also thinking of its sucessor, which was 540B parameters/780B tokens: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PaLM
I remember reading a researcher discussion that PaLM was the first LLM big enough to "feel" eerilie intelligent in conversation and such. It didn't have any chat training, reinforcement learning, nor weird garbage that shapes modern LLMs or even Llama 1, so all its intelligence was "emergent" and natural. It apparently felt very different than any contemporary model.
...I can envision being freaked out by that. Even knowing exactly what it is (a dumb stack of matricies for modeling token sequences), that had to provoke some strange feelings.
Bro, just 10B more parameters. This time, I promise it will actually be useful and not send you into psychosis ^again^.
Just 10B more. Please.
Plz.
Seriously though. Some big AI firm should just snap, and train a 300B bitnet Waifu model. If we’re gonna have psychosis, mind as well be the right kind.
