I like seeing how @pluralistic is refining his anti #AI arguments over time. In this interview, I love the idea of reframing "hallucinations" as "defects", the analogy that trying to get #AGI out of #LLMs is like breeding faster horses and expecting one to give birth to a locomotive, and ridiculing the premise that "if you teach enough words to the word-guessing machine it will become God."

"So the bubble is bad (..). But (..) there will be things we can salvage from it: open source models, skilled programmers, cheap GPUs bought out of bankruptcy (...). It would be better if we created that stuff without burning the world’s economy to the ground and emitting a heptillion tons of CO2, but ignoring the productive residue of the AI crash won’t bring the economy back, or suck the carbon out of the atmosphere."
