  • Brocas area on its own isn’t intelligent and strapping a bunch of Brocas areas together won’t get you there either.

    Most of the frontier models as far as I’m aware are basically a bunch of differently trained LLMs strapped together and even then there have only been incremental improvements to their performance, no new functionality has really emerged from doing that.

    LLM investment is IMO a dead end hype train and will require breakthroughs in other techniques of machine learning to put together something we would recognise as truly intelligent. I’ll concede the possibility that LLM like functionality may be a portion of that but equally it may not be.

  • Again, most people don’t find it that useful that they will drop that kind of money on it even up front. Telling me that you are an outlier than has gone all in on AI and can’t live without it doesn’t really change the point I was making does it? Most people will just skip using AI if they have to pay for it and don’t use it to “offload” most of their work to which frankly just makes you sound lazy.

  • Doesn’t matter if it’s useful if it’s too expensive to use for the majority of use cases it has. Voice assistants like the echo are useful and people like them. However they aren’t particularly profitable because people hate when they get monetised and won’t use them that way.

    AI is likely the same, most of the stuff it’s being used for… even vibe coding where it’s been hyped to the moon and back, probably aren’t viable when the total cost of the compute needed for training and running are actually been charged for.

  • What advice do you expect from a Linux discussion group? I suggest you do what you feel is right for a subjective decision like this, all hearing other people’s opinions will do is confirm your feelings.
