Aidan Clark@_aidan_clark_The Atlantic AI article is really terrible, and the core of why is that the author seems to legitimately think that we’re all using LLMs because of Silicon Valley navel-gazing and not because ***they are the only thing we’ve discovered which works***.

BB Boaz Barak@boazbaraktcs@_aidan_clark_ Yes, I guess his idea is that Silicon Valley is living billions of dollars on the table because they are obsessed with using a lot of power. Also the notion that we have seen "diminishing returns". Less than 4 years ago ,wapo described ChatGPT as "bad at math".

LB Lucas Beyer (bl16)@giffmana@_aidan_clark_ No no don't you know it's all downstream of the gpt-2 slow release stunt. AI researchers all got collectively one-shot by that campaign, and nobody ever considered trying anything else ever since.
