Sharing this story from @Cory Doctorow because it's so much of what I've been saying.

Shipping a model that runs badly – that needs more data-centers and energy to run – is a way to convince investors that it's doing something really advanced (after all, look how much compute and energy it's consuming!).

@Dan Shuman @Cory Doctorow The whole article points out that AI itself isn't useless, just that it's being used inefficiently.

Basically like having 20-30 people doing the job of 1 person just because it looks impressive to have that many people on the payroll.

It doesn't mean the 1 person job isn't any good, just that a lot of resources are being wasted that don't have to be.



AAAAAAAAAH!

... slightest hint of possible bad news and I fucking spiraled into a panic attack...

Nothing bad actually happened... other than the panic attack which has me completely wrecked...

Twitchy, on the edge of tears and a complete fucking nightmare storm of emotions...

😭😭😭😭😭
