We never needed that much computational power to get our shit together to begin with. It’s just a power grab by the rich. If we wanted to fix stuff with cybernetics we could just implement the viable system model - Salvatore Allende style.
The Turing test was never a gold standard for anything. We talked about it because it was an obvious early milestone that only needed more hardware to pass it. Having passed it puts our AIs on par with various human toddlers and some older exotic birds.
Beating chess masters is more interesting. Playing Jeopardy is interesting.
But none of these things is particularly useful.
There’s also useful stuff happening, like basic toddler shape recognition.
But none of it points toward unstopped sentient robot overlords.
Some interesting stuff that points towards stupid simple robot overlords has heen available to experts for a long time. What changed is that search engines speak English now.
The ability to acquire, understand, and use knowledge.
Much like you, AI is incapable of understanding anything, they just regurgitate what they hear.
AI aren’t intelligent, they’re stochastic parrots that can process words as math to generate a facsimile of intelligence to make the ignorant think it’s smart.
This meme implies that AI data centers have been around for a long time. They have not. And it’s not really the number of data centers that matters it’s the techniques that AIs use.

This response implies that you actually understand the point being made. You don’t. If you think this is only about AI datacenters, I have to assume you’re letting the AI ‘think’ for you. Otherwise, that says a lot about you, and none of it is positive.
AI have been running in datacenters for over a decade, it didn’t just spring up overnight while the companies are building datacenters that cost billions in hardware that will be replaced in less than 5-10 years. They might as well be setting the cash on fire, it would harm the planet less than the result of pissing away billions of dollars on datacenters that may be bankrupt in under a decade when the AI companies start actually charging for cost and hardware that will need replaced before then.
OpenAI and others have had data centers training models for 10 years. Chatgpt was released in 2022. A data center was churning for years before release to create that model.

In 2018, passing the Turing test was still the gold standard in computer intelligence.
We used the same AI from the 1950s to blow past it. Nothing fundamentally changed. The only difference is that our hardware finally caught up.
What makes you think that throwing more hardware at it isn’t the solution?

You seem to be at odds not only with artificial intelligence.

Huh that’s odd, then how come DeepMind was founded checks notes in 2010?
