@jmoiron.bsky.social Finally completed my "virtual cycling trip" from Torre de Belem in Lisbon to Plaza de España in Sevilla. I plotted a cycling route on Google Maps and loaded it into incyclist.com Quite a few backroads had no coverage, but overall it was a fun way to gamify some exercise.
@jmoiron.bsky.social replied: OTOH, if inference is already a bad business how are bigger models going to make it better? Not that it's surprising for delusional SV narcissists to play roulette with the entire US economy, but if this is true and it all blows up, I don't see what distinguishes it from eg. FTX.
@jmoiron.bsky.social replied: If inference is already super profitable then I don't understand why the practice around quotas is so vague and they've been pulling back access consistently over the past few years. That feels a lot more like a company tuning for profitability/oversubscription.
@jmoiron.bsky.social replied: Unlike "How will AI impact jobs?", the answers to these questions are knowable; there are people who know them already! But without data, their claims are indistinguishable from the kinds of misinformation you get from elusive marketing speak or the overconfident vibes of laypeo...
@jmoiron.bsky.social replied: There are other basic questions that are frustratingly inconclusive, too. I don't buy LLMs as a path to AGI, personally, but have we hit the scaling wall yet? There is a long history of blog posts claiming we have! GPT-5 leads me to suspect we have. But I don't really know.
