    Bill Gates is not a technology expert, he’s a business man. like all tech CEOs he has no idea what he’s talking about. he never created anything in his life, he pays other people to do that. all he knows is how to turn money into more money

      The only thing attributed to him he essentially stole, to add icing on that cake. MS-DOS was not cooked from scratch.

        I believe he borrowed money from his parents to buy DOS, for a lot less than it was worth.

        Bezos also borrowed money from his step-dad to start Amazon. hmm seems to be a theme with all these “self-made” billionaires

          Business freaks will repeat the axiom “you gotta spend money to make money!” and expect us not to find out about the loan from daddy that undergirds every “rags to riches” story of modern elites.

      Field reliability call center workers will be replaced with IVR systems integrated with generative text-to-speech prompts. Some numbnuts telecom sub-subcontractor is going to call in a line locate, get a complete gibberish answer from the bazinga machine, and start boring right into a gas main, thus sending everything in a three-block radius to Valhalla. But the energy corporations’ CEOs will get to line their own pockets with some investment money in the meantime, as hedgies salivate over power and gas stonks getting in on the AI hype train. The C-suite goons will get golden parachutes while the workers shoulder the blame for upper management’s shitty decisions.

    don’t worry about AI gobbling up energy, tech will adapt

    Sure there’s a lot of promising research into using less power to run the same models, but that just means that the savings will be used on even bigger models.

    AI will identify ways

    Oh. Well. LMAO it is then.

    I hope for everyone’s sake that he knows he’s lying. There will indeed be further optimizations in AI computation energy efficiency. There will eventually be ASICs for training models which run a non-standard form of floating point representation which is optimized for LLM training. Those will be more energy efficient. But the idea that LLMs or any near-future iteration on them will be the catalyst for those optimizations is nonsense.

        Even more delusional the . There are really intensive bits of computer science dedicated to manipulative mathematical symbols and solving advanced maths. They don’t fall under the umbrella of machine learning and no amount of GPU cores will changes that.
