Yet another reason LLM/AI is a terrible thing:

https://www.theregister.com/2024/10/28/genai_dirty_secret/

"GenAI is set to create nearly 1,000 times more e-waste (in data centres) than exists currently by 2030, unless the tech industry employs mitigating strategies."

"The study, which looks at the rate AI servers are being introduced to datacenters, claims that a realistic scenario indicates potential for rapid growth of e-waste from 2.6 kilotons each year in 2023 to between 400 kilotons and 2.5 million tons each year in 2030, when no waste reduction measures are considered."

"...equivalent to discarding 13.3 billion units of the iPhone 15 Pro"

I’m not sure whether mentioning Anterograde Amnesia in the context of #LLM based “#AI” to non-technical people makes sense or is misleading.

@dpnash @rachel Thanks, that’s an interesting perspective and a revealing incident.
Language evolves, and as with biology, the result varies for differing habitats. Since “#AI” that is based on #LLM is frozen in time by the corpus it was trained on, it only reproduces but never explores or invents. LLM are per definition conservative. (1/3)


Google is absolutely cooked as a web search engine, thanks to the current crop of LLM chatbot AI.

The scope of the harm it will do while slowly sinking into irrelevance is immeasurable, though.

Old fashioned, pure text, free from all the layers of cruft that has infected today’s web, is now called “#LLM friendly”. There are online services to generate #LLMfriendly text from the piles of useless code that are now called “websites”.
I’m not sure whether that’s hilarious, sad or just useful, but it makes me feel old.

This represents AI to me right now.

@briankrebs stole this from his friends on #Mastodon and posted on #LinkedIn, I stole it from Brian to post on the #Fediverse because … irony?

AI / LLMs are killing our world, please don't use them. 🙏

"...global (data centre) greenhouse emissions between now and the end of the decade are likely to be three times higher than if generative AI had not been developed."

Oh, this? Just Microsoft Copilot bullshitting about how to get started with Kitten¹.

(Hint: there is no `kitten init` command and you do not `npm install kitten`. In fact, kitten is a completely different npm module and isn’t, but could very well have been, malware.)

It's really effing obvious LLMs are a con trick:

If LLMs were actually intelligent, they would be able to just learn from each other and would get better all the time. But what actually happens if LLMs only learn from each other is their models collapse and they start spouting gibberish.

LLMs depend entirely on copying what humans write because they have no ability to create anything themselves. That's why they collapse when you remove their access to humans.

There is no intelligence in LLMs, it's just repackaging what humans have written without their permission. It's stolen human labour.

Ich stelle mir die Frage, ob Künstliche Intelligenz nicht überschätzt wird. Einerseits handelt es sich nicht wirklich um „Intelligenz“, sondern um Algorithmen, die Wahrscheinlichkeiten berechnen. Andererseits sind der #Ressourcen- und #Energieverbrauch enorm. Warum also verfolgen wir diesen Weg in einer Zeit, in der wir uns gleichzeitig für eine nachhaltige Wirtschaft und den #Klimaschutz einsetzen?
