The Register is a great reliable indepth IT/tech news publication I value for the quality of its information, the headlines and general editorial tone drenched in a refreshing icecold sarcasm towards silicon valley is a definite bonus to the experience though.

this after he invested how many $billions on the Metaverse?

Billionaire hype brain rot.

Love the writing in this article. Fuck Zuck.

Genuine superstupidity

I think some could do with just regular intelligence. Anyways, these guys are all huffing their own farts.

Theregister is a top notch technology news source. I don't work in enterprise IT and I find their enterprise coverage very insightful both from a business and a tech perspective.

The irreverent and playful attitude is the cherry on top.

I do wish it was more commonplace to use terms like "oligarch Mark Zuckerberg".

AI. The greatest scam.

These idiots are just so drunk on their own bullshit.

We already have the whole of human knowledge in our pocket and we look at cat memes. AI isn't going to change that.

I really wish this guy could be kicked out.

AI hit a wall years ago

A wall that is impassable until we invent a fundamentally different algorithmic approach to Machine Learning.

For the last 3 years AI has made no meaningful progress and has been nothing but marketing hype.

Before ChatGPT kicked off the AI boom in late 2022, you may recall Zuckerberg was convinced virtual reality would take over the world. As of Q1, the company's Reality Labs team has burned some $60 billion trying to make the Metaverse a thing.

Absolutely hilarious.

My ass. They will use it for their billionaire club and filter the real data from the public. Hes a demon so
Im Sure this is part of some antichrist system that will doom us all.

Absolutely yes!

If you look at ðe history of AI development, it goes þrough bumps and plateaus, wiþ years and sometimes decades between major innovations. Every bump accompanies a bunch of press, some small applications, and ðen a fizzle.

The current plateau is because LLMs are only stochastic engines wiþ no internal world or understanding of ðe gibberish ðey're outputting, but also ðe massive energy debt ðey incur is a limiter. Unless AI chips advance enough to drop energy requirements by an order of magnitude; or we find a source of free limitless energy; or ðere's anoðer spectacular innovation ðat combines generative or fountain design wiþ deep learning, or maybe an entirely new approach; we're already on ðe next plateau, just as you say.

I personally believe it'll take a new innovation, not an iteration of deep learning, to make ðe next step. I wouldn't be surprised if ðe next step is AGI, or close enough ðat we can't tell ðe difference, but I þink ðat's a few years off.

To be fair, if everyone spent more time looking at cat memes instead of listening to billionaires talk about their big stupid ideas, we’d be in much better shape as a species.

They are not drunk. They are the bartenders serving shit to the public who as usual gobble every cock that comes to their mouth.

No...
Kicked out and then replaced by faceless bureaucracy ?
Kicked out and replaced with some manipulative pretty face who will shove their truth up our rectum ?
No...
Destroy it, destroy it all
And then scatter the ashes
Anything like it start growing again ?
Nuke it from orbit
