💡 💡 ⚡ 🧊 !! Inspired by this great new piece on how much water "AI" uses, I have a start-up idea that just zapped me on the head like a lightning strike. It blends modern AI with pretty ingenious historic techniques. 🧵 1/n www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Having already acquired the Republican Party, the Crypto Fascists are now buying Democrats a la carte. Beware the Crypto Democrat — a wolf in wolf’s clothing. Crypto is for crime and Tech Fascism. Period.

A Zoox (Amazon’s self driving car subsidiary) car allegedly hit an immigrant food delivery worker on a moped last week in San Francisco. Under Prop 22, the worker neither gets the min wage nor workers’ compensation. What a dystopia!!!

LLMs are nothing more than models of the distribution of the word forms in their training data, with weights modified by post-training to produce somewhat different distributions. Unless your use case requires a model of a distribution of word forms in text, indeed, they suck and aren't useful.

Generative AI is melting our only planet. Don’t use it. ChatGPT wastes 10x the amount of water as Google. And last year, Google was in talks to purchase 8 nuclear reactors in order to power their own AI. This is not sustainable. Stop using it today. It’s literal Earth Day.
