“What trillion-dollar problem is AI trying to solve?”

Wages. They’re trying to use it to solve having to pay wages.

      If being used in that context, the person using it is an idiot.

      huggingface.co/models – shows many of the things AI is being used for. And even in the context of only LLMs and Diffusors, you cannot claim that LLMs are worthless with a straight face.

        It’s not a question of “worthless” so much as “net benefit”. How much money and manpower are we investing in the tools?

        Because, right now, the Sam Altman approach to LLMs is to simply throw more compute at the problem forever. The degree to which he seems interested in reinventing the model or the foundational technology pales beside his demands for GWhs of new power to brute force a better solution.

        If you’re spending $1T to do $100B worth of human labor, that’s not any kind of efficency.
