"There's no way to get there without a breakthrough," OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said, arguing that AI will soon need even more energy.

The human brain uses about 20W. Maybe AI needs to be more efficient instead?

[-] ThePantser@lemmy.world 58 points 1 year ago

Perfect let's use human brains as CPUs then. Not the whole brain just the unused bits.

I've seen that film

It's what matrix would've been if the studios didn't think people would too dumb to get it, so we ended with the nonsense about batteries.

[-] Bonehead@kbin.social 42 points 1 year ago

They also thought we wouldn't understand how Switch could be a woman in the matrix but a man in the real world. So they just made the character a butch woman because apparently that's easier somehow. So many little changes like this were made.

Holy fuck now her name makes so much more sense. God dammit, why are we so fucking stuck up as a society that we couldn’t even keep that

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Tbf that society was a while ago now.

[-] HerrBeter@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I don't think it's gotten better, and honestly they oversimplify even more today. For some reason

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Nah, that would absolutely not be something the studio would have a problem with these days.

We use all of our brain. Well, some of us try to anyway.

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I would love it (if there exists a FOSS variant of that) imagine being able to run a LLM, or even LAM in your head,

wait…

🤔

FOSS Neuralink

[-] SuperIce@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

That would require a revolutionary discovery in material science and hardware.

[-] 018118055@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 year ago

And yet we have brains. This brute force approach to machine learning is quite effective but has problems scaling. So, new energy sources or new thinking?

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

We just run the AI for a gazillion epochs and then it's ~~overfitted~~ evolved intelligence. Thanks Darwin we did it again.

[-] fidodo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It'd be way easier to just grow brains instead
