AI power growth is projected to grow exponentially for a service a lot of people view as morally reprehensible and actively harmful
Spencer Weart identified the dangers of global warming in the 50s, we ignored the warnings and now people and entire species are dying. Excuse us for trying to prevent accelerating the problem
So is AI useless and just a bubble that will pop, or will it explode exponentially?
It can’t be both.
When talking about the environment people say it will explode and burn the planet, but in the same breath they will say it’s useless and just a bubble
Oh sweetie. This your first bubble?
it will grow exponentially until it pops and then will progress normally in a way that is actually useful. that is what the term "bubble" means in this context.
It can be both. It can grow exponentially until it pops.
I never said useless. Mustard Gas is really useful, State Sponsored propaganda is useful. Usefulness does not equate to goodness as much as capitalist will try to convince you otherwise

And this is a lie altman is telling to get more money.
It’s not scaling. GPT-5 is making it more obvious, but the ML research community has known this for some time.
