Clearly AI is worthy of public investment, but given the capture of this administration by tech interests, how can we be sure that public AI funding isn't just handouts to the president's cronies?
LLMs seem to be plateauing. I'd rather let the markets chase AI.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
LLMs, maybe. AI? Hardly.
>AI? Hardly. what are some examples of 'hardly' ?

How about we fix global warming and switch 100% to clean energy, and then invest in AI?
We can't just switch to clean energy, we would need to drastically reduce our energy use per capita.

What's the "reward"? I want to interrogate AI optimist type people because even if AI is completely safe and harmless I literally see only downsides. Is your perception that living in theorized extreme comfort correlates to "reward"?
You really see only downsides? I’m no AI optimist, but it is a useful tool, and it’s here to stay.
It's mostly because the actual stated and actualized goal of real AI is clearly bad.
It's like if you approached me and said "I'm going to erase meaning from your life. You will want for nothing. The entire paradigm of reality will be changed: your entire evolutionary struggle, made meaningless. You will want for nothing: "be" nothing. Also this might potentially kill you or some rich person or more likely nation-state could enslave you."
The actual stated goals seem negative to me. I'm not very interested in erasing and surpassing human achievement in every way. It seems inherently bad. I don't think that's an absurd perspective.
I think the disconnect here is asked in "what is the purpose of life" and I don't think any reasonable interpretation of that is "be obscenely comfortable".

"LLM" is not mentioned anywhere in the article.
I assume "AI" in contemporary articles, especially as it pertains to investments, means "Generative AI, especially or exclusively LLMs."

There's a serious issue around naming here, I'll agree. I assume "AI" in contemporary articles, especially as it pertains to investments, means "Generative AI, especially or exclusively LLMs."
When will we get AI CEOs? I am tired of seeing corporate decisions driven by quarterly bonuses.
In any case, if you want to take a stab at it, feel free to go ahead and start a company whereby you as the owner would assign the CEO responsibilities to an AI.

How do you make that assessment? I'll admit, the knowledge base is not 10x every few months anymore, but the agent capabilities keep getting better. The newer models can do a lot of useful work accurately for a while. That wasn't true several months ago.
