"The primary bottleneck to this growth is the availability of electricity."

We put the cart before the horse, lets stop talking about growth and focus on making it useful first lmao

Totally agree. One thing the AI bros believe though is that growth == useful. If you strongly believe that the larger the model the smarter it is then you think through growth we get AGI which implicitly is useful because reasons.

Or maybe you just lack the intellectual curiosity to get anything from these models.

You have to a fucking moron to think Claude is not "useful".

My stance is more that compute isn’t the limiting factor anymore. These models are useful if you’re a software dev. What we need is time to integrate these models in ways that are useful to normal people. I do not share the belief that if we keep expanding we’ll hit some magical limit where it’ll suddenly be a god and solve our problems.
