You may be missing my point. THEY aren’t being kept in the dark. YOU are. Anyone involved in the project signs an NDA. Then the relevant experts can’t talk about it.

This is big with legislators too. They are taken on tours under NDA. They see there is no water use, they listen to the noise levels, they see the new substation provided to the community. But they cannot tell the constituents those specifics. Only “it’s not like the news is claiming”.

And the news is not the customer. No one in the industry cares about bad press. Customers won’t stop buying. So the build out accelerates.

Those results are still tightly controlled by NDAs. They need time for FDA approval, patents, etc. Then time to get to market. These are not released in scientific papers anymore. It’s protected because it cost so much up front.

AI is not just LLMs. Much of AI is machine control, and bioinformatics.llms are the foam on top of the ocean.

The PC became mainstream in 1981. Why didn’t the Internet become big for another 10 years?

How much is the cure/treatment for Parkinson’s worth? Or other intractable medical problems?

What about a device able to manipulate the containment field of a fusion reactor?

These are the reasons why everyone is buying the compute services - there are dozens of moonshot-grade problems that are suddenly possible to attempt. Many will fail, but whoever gets that one success will gain astronomical benefit.

Or chicken of the woods?

2000%

I’m sure OpenAI will immediately change all of its branding.

I have no experience with it, but my questions along a similar vein point to DigiKam.

Some options:

Raisins, cashews, peanut butter, molasses, honey. Not all at once.

Curry powder is very good too.

Terribly misleading.

I pointed to your logical fallacy. Do you see how?

Then you made an ad hominem.

All you’ve demonstrated is your desire to muddy the water.

Would you believe that I see the Luddites had a valid point? The mills were being irresponsible by taking a pure capitalist approach without any social awareness? My company builds more public power infrastructure than it uses, leaving the local community with more electrical capacity than before. Generally by a factor of 2. Why? Because it’s the right thing to do. We don’t build open loop cooling. We don’t build near residential areas. We believe that being irresponsible is not an option. Do we make the news? Of course not, that story doesn’t sell.

They this on…

And good for you for minimizing your carbon footprint, but it’s still “fuck humans” in general.

We both see that there are large ongoing issues, with bad actors. Elon spending a gazillion dollars for zero cash return is a symptom of his moral destitution, not the usefulness of AI. However painting the world with a broad brush does nothing for improving the world. Bad behavior needs to be punished, while promoting the good.

Most part, no. Significant chunk, certainly. Here are some of the larger ongoing contracts:

​Eli Lilly & Insilico Medicine ($2.75 Billion)

Merck KGaA & Valo Health (Up to $3.0 Billion)

Roche & Manifold Bio (Up to $2.0 Billion)

AbbVie & Gilgamesh Pharmaceuticals (Up to $2.0 Billion)

Novartis & Relation Therapeutics (Up to $1.7 Billion)

Isomorphic Labs (Alphabet) with Eli Lilly & Novartis ($2.9 Billion Combined)

Eli Lilly & NVIDIA ($1 Billion)

Microsoft contradicts your argument on all sides.

That’s still limited to LLMs. A lot of work being done is not even in any language. It speaks election orbitals and bonding energy. This is used for biomolecular and pharma purposes.

Some folks dislike AI but use other justifications to hate on them.

Some folks are accelerationists at all costs.

Some read about the criminals in the field (xai) and assume that everyone is like that.

“A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you’ll know tomorrow.”

We do both. Every day.
