To be fair this is what we voted for.

1/ I’ve repeatedly called LLMs “Grandpa Shelby” on my podcast The last enclosure (@lastenclosure.bsky.social). What the hell do I mean? This is a clunky metaphor that comes from episode 1 and from my first blog post on LLMs at Misaligned Markets.

Snippet from a blog post “A (less) technical guide for understanding large language models. Compares LLMs to Leonard Shelby but with dementia and as a savant. LLMs are good at following regularities of language to produce plausible sentences but have no memory and cannot always reliably reproduce associations from training.

What are you talking about, I love CLSOPD+RD!

Still from a TikTok pointing out the Gal Godot Cleopatra movie poster with Greek characters spells CLSOPD+RD.

3/4 The railway for AI is pretty mixed. As a field it has a different series of tracks that have converged at times. But There's no telling where future progress might come from. It may involve building on old tracks or creating a new line all together. All this is to say, a winter is possible.

2/ As I wrote in March, while the cost of running older models is coming down investment and consumer excitement stem from SotA LLMs which are more expensive to train and run. And even “cheaper” older models require additional labor and hardware. misaligned.markets/what-to-expe...

Section from blog post on https://misaligned.markets/what-to-expect-ai-bubble that argues AI bubble is founded on a paradox of decreasing LLM costs for consumers of older models and increase spend cost to capture the newer LLM market.

It lines up with a lot of things. It perfectly follows the evolution of modern public health. See: Rosini, R., Nicchi, S., Pizza, M., & Rappuoli, R. (2020). Vaccines against antimicrobial resistance. Frontiers in Immunology, 11, 1048. doi.org/10.3389/fimm...

End of @edzitron.com's latest piece is🔥but there's something even more insidious about our current era. The past wasn't determined to go one way. Even if the AI bubble were like the dotcom bubble is that inherently desirable? The general disinterest in why the last bubble happened gets me.

Apparently datacenters dot com has an article on "opinionated data center sites" a.k.a. building DCs without a final tenant. It celebrates innovations in finance that make this possible. LMFAO, wow... I hope we can finally put to bed the idea that there is no AI bubble.

Marketing article for datacenters.com which celebrates the rise of data centers being built without planned tenants.

This is legitimately a rehash of a Kelsey Piper article from last summer. But this newer piece is unique in that it just gets critics wrong. Doctorow is the funniest name to include if your argument is "the left doesn't want to use AI." Kelsey at least had the sense to not name specific people.
