US senator Bernie Sanders amplified his recent criticism of artificial intelligence on Sunday, explicitly linking the financial ambition of “the richest people in the world” to economic insecurity for millions of Americans – and calling for a potential moratorium on new datacenters.
Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with the Democratic party, said on CNN’s State of the Union that he was “fearful of a lot” when it came to AI. And the senator called it “the most consequential technology in the history of humanity” that will “transform” the US and the world in ways that had not been fully discussed.
“If there are no jobs and humans won’t be needed for most things, how do people get an income to feed their families, to get healthcare or to pay the rent?” Sanders said. “There’s not been one serious word of discussion in the Congress about that reality.”
It might or it might not.
I agree that it will likely will given the insane progression in ai models of every kind and the absurd amount of money being invested into it, but it’s not a certainty.
LLMs are likely a dead end but anyone that thinks the buck stops there is an idiot.
I’d have to disagree that LLM are a dead end. They aren’t actual AI, but they can crunch data at a rate that will make them a bridge to actual AI. I guess I see this is a very dangerous and inevitable stepping-stone.
LLM will be able to crunch raw numbers to make actual AI possible IMHO.
You keep saying number crunching - gpus “crunch numbers” cpus “crunch numbers” ai models ARE numbers.
Are you denying that it can be done faster now? And that even if it can’t, people with money believe it can and are funding it?
This is moving fast my dude. Look at how fast a term from Terminator made it into our daily lives.
