LLMs are the only thing that is hyped. The other models and applications have existed already back when ChatGPT first hit the public and they have not had any special break through that would explain exponential growth in investment or a need for compute power. Language models had that with the transformer structure, everything else just develops iteratively.

The bubble we see now is because of language models and we can try and conflate it with other deep models and call it all AI, but it doesn't change the fact that the generative models are the only ones requiring these resources and are looking for a problem to solve.

Best counterargument is cultural export. We don't see it with Chinese nor with African French. If at all Japanese, Spanish or South Korean. But for the Asian languages the learning curve is much higher and the utility lower.

Assuming it was great at some point and people were trying, I would argue at the point when propaganda progressed far enough that enough people thought it was already great. You stop trying when you think you reached the goal. To this day no politician can afford suggesting otherwise unless it's to make it "great again" I guess.

Works the same way in Switzerland. Some places may have a minimum wage locally, but it's rare and on a national level there's nothing. However the unions aren't strong in all sectors so some jobs really do pay shit.

It's a too snarky/cynical thought. Waging wars, destroying infrastructure etc. all have huge environmental costs. The US leaving the Paris accords, blocking clean energy adoption, cancelling projects as well as Trump's anti-renewable propaganda has a net negative effect even if an oil crisis and economic recession is good for fewer carbon emissions as well.

Biden's IRA had more positive potential.

And I don't think they just embarrassed themselves militarily. Israel's popularity is on its last leg due to them convincing [REDACTED] to commit this blunder. Trump who already destructed the US soft power demonstrated with his nightly tweeting and teenage girl behavior how he can't get support from allies. While allies have tried to appease him before, almost everyone is looking for alternative partnerships now.

Rubber is less resistant than the plastics mix we use now.

I'm not sure I get the concern. If there are vulnerabilities they have probably been sold to NSA, other state hackers and black hats already. Mythos would help close them for everyone.

Sure, a bad actor could use it to break in, but Mythos is not some secret hacking tool, it's an expensive LLM you can run against your own code and system giving you the upper hand.

Anthropic is actually acting responsibly by contacting maintainers and platforms with bugs and the possibility to analyze their systems before it's released to the wider public. And if it's all hype then this is a money grabbing operation to finally make good money off of LLMs. That concern however doesn't seem to be shared by the financiers.

I'm not sure this is still true in the industrial era where human impact is responsible for habitat loss, monocultures, mass extinction and loss of biodiversity and reduction of undomesticated biomass in general.

Beavers actually build spaces that allow for more specialized species to thrive. We could do that too, theoretically.

Soon you'll have to pay for the privilege of communicating with a human instead of an LLM chat bot.

Edit: I realize I need to specify because I forgot to add relevant context.

And the model gets refined making the predictions more accurate and reliable.
