Bill Gates is not a technology expert, he's a business man. like all tech CEOs he has no idea what he's talking about. he never created anything in his life, he pays other people to do that. all he knows is how to turn money into more money
The only thing attributed to him he essentially stole, to add icing on that cake. MS-DOS was not cooked from scratch.
If I were in the 70s, I woulda stolen a copy of Altair BASIC.

will ultimately identify ways to cut power consumption
The poors will be forced to turn off the heat in winter
Field reliability call center workers will be replaced with IVR systems integrated with generative text-to-speech prompts. Some numbnuts telecom sub-subcontractor is going to call in a line locate, get a complete gibberish answer from the bazinga machine, and start boring right into a gas main, thus sending everything in a three-block radius to Valhalla. But the energy corporations' CEOs will get to line their own pockets with some investment money in the meantime, as hedgies salivate over power and gas stonks getting in on the AI hype train. The C-suite goons will get golden parachutes while the workers shoulder the blame for upper management's shitty decisions.
Again, we just need to burn down HALF the rain forest not the whole thing to get a language model that tells us cancer is good for your skin.
wow the "one good billionaire" is just as stupid and destructively greedy as all the other ones? shocking.
The term billionaire was named after him for a reason
Bill need not worry about the revolution reappropriating his hoard of wealth, he will adapt
Extreme
energylol die binch
don't worry about AI gobbling up energy, tech will adapt
Sure there's a lot of promising research into using less power to run the same models, but that just means that the savings will be used on even bigger models.
AI will identify ways
Oh. Well. LMAO it is then.
that just means that the savings will be used on even bigger models.
There's a name for that: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox
I wish Bill a very happy falling into a pit and dying mysteriously
I wish Bill a very happy falling into a pit and dying painfully and obviously, preferably with some sort of subterranean beetle eating him from the inside out
The AI just keeps coming up with trains or crabs.
Solution: crab trains
Shinra boss robot
I hope for everyone’s sake that he knows he’s lying. There will indeed be further optimizations in AI computation energy efficiency. There will eventually be ASICs for training models which run a non-standard form of floating point representation which is optimized for LLM training. Those will be more energy efficient. But the idea that LLMs or any near-future iteration on them will be the catalyst for those optimizations is nonsense.
He's saying AI will figure out how to do nuclear fission and reorient society to prevent climate change
Even more delusional the . There are really intensive bits of computer science dedicated to manipulative mathematical symbols and solving advanced maths. They don’t fall under the umbrella of machine learning and no amount of GPU cores will changes that.
Bill just hasn't been the same since he lost his adrenochrome plug on Little Saint James
Actual AI might eventually achieve that.
LLMs fucking won't though.
Dudeswho have fully bought onto selfish gene theorem insist an AI will willingly find ways to cut it's resources.
the tech industry treats tech like a religion, bunch of ghouls
Gates needs to unfriend Kurzweil he has no defence against these brainworms
I don’t always take moral advice from sociopathic wealth hoarders but when I do!..
Don’t worry about AI gobbling up energy, let me worry about blank.
Interestingly, this is the exact same shit cryptocurrency nerds said
I don't remember cryptobros ever having a refutal that wasn't "etherium will switch to stake any day now" but libs always do say some dumb shit like "don't worry, the invisible hand works in mysterious ways"
nah they have other stuff, they'll talk about how like cryptocurrencies will encourage a move to green energy and magically resolve inefficiencies and shit. "Bitcoin is a store of energy" is a funny phrase they'll bandy about too
Trust the technological equivalent of the Ford Pinto.
Got some real he just wanted his machete back energy
I wonder if rampant unchecked climate change is going to increase the value of the suspiciously large amount of farmland Bill Gates has been buying.Tech bros genuinely believe that their glorified automated text generators and such will solve something? Talk about magical thinking.
The times I've had to listen to people like this explain to others how great systemic thinkers they are and how much better they are at understanding basically everything then anyone else and these are the takes they have on "AI"... It's both funny and pathetic.
It also looks like these supposedly smartest of the smart don't actually get it at all.
