Companies are training LLMs on all the data that they can find, but this data is not the world, but discourse about the world. The rank-and-file developers at these companies, in their naivete, do not see that distinction…So, as these LLMs become increasingly but asymptotically fluent, tantalizingly close to accuracy but ultimately incomplete, developers complain that they are short on data. They have their general purpose computer program, and if they only had the entire world in data form to shove into it, then it would be complete.
It’s this up and coming techbro generation’s blockchain
The actual off the walls sci-fi shit this tech could maybe be capable of (an AI “third hemisphere” neural implant that catches the human mind up to the kind of mass calculation that it falls behind traditional computing on) is so far removed from what’s currently supportable on commercial tech that it’s all entirely speculation.
