AI-yi-yi

 

Subprime Intelligence - Thoughtful piece about what is the strength of the boom in AI - especially as we may be nearing the top of an S-shaped curve of capabilities.

I think it's a great point that for much of the generative stuff, the "killer app" isn't there (though there are a lot of small use cases, and LLMs are certainly a boon to helping software developers navigate the thick woods of toolkits and languages we've created.)

It will also be interesting to see how the public's "AI-Radar" increases, and how much people start to notice and possibly get annoyed at the garish flatness of it all.

But especially the economics... hearing how Microsoft's "investment" in OpenAI was more like a donation of computer time, and other investments seem more about tech giants trying to ensure they're the ones selling the raw cloud horsepower... sometimes you wonder where we are all going with this.
