    If you’re so smart why don’t you come up with a way to do it under 100 watts???

    Also this is training them not using them. Using an ai consumes significantly less power than the process to train it sort of like how humans take more to learn than to put something in practice.

      Yeap. They are trying to train the AI quickly, not over the course of 18 years.

      Also, it’s early still early for these AI/LLM tools. The first few iterations of things are generally not very efficient. After you can prove it works, THEN you can make improvements to it, make it more efficient, etc.

      However, I think that the approach of feeding in more power instead of optimizing it is the wrong approach. I feel Microsoft could get further ahead of it could find ways to train models more efficiently 🤷

      People tend to forgot the millions of years of horribly inefficient evolution it took to develop the human brain.

      Don’t think the point that’s being made is “smarturr” but rather that stay within the margins of available power.

        I think his point is that the person he responded to is proposing well meaning feeling based policies without having any real knowledge of any of the negative impacts his policy would have.

          I feel like I’m in that butterfly meme, going like is this what reasonable conversation is like.
