alt Hacker NewsTrillions of dollars spent. Trillions of gigawatts consumed. And people still celebrate "Yay! We're less wrong than the other guys!"
This is what the tech industry has become?
Less of a failure is still failure.

That is the software industry. Our product is less bugged than our competitor’s.
I don't know how much money has been spent for AI, and I very much doubt you do. Do you know if more has been spent on LLM the last 9 years -- since "Attention is all you need" -- than Internet infrastructure during, say 1995 to 2004? That included the dotcom crash. Did you lament how a failure the Internet was?
LLM has progressed a lot in the last two year, judging from the pelican drawings. I personally couldn't care less about it though. I do know that I've gone from using no AI at all for coding to probably 95%. I hardly code by hand anymore. That's much more impressive and significant. Failure you said?
