Hey guys I remember reading a great article that dove into the financial situation of OpenAI, Nvidia, etc. There was some interesting stuff on how money was being provided with the expectation of companies selling a certain number of "agents". Really would like to come back to that article but cannot find it for the life of me. Might have been a blog post. If anyone knows it pls lmk.
One of the slides Bahran showed during the presentation attempted to quantify the amount of human involvement these new AI-controlled power plants would have. He estimated less than five percent “human intervention during normal operations.”
“The claims being made on these slides are quite concerning, and demonstrate an even more ambitious (and dangerous) use of AI than previously advertised, including the elimination of human intervention. It also cements that it is the DOE's strategy to use generative AI for nuclear purposes and licensing, rather than isolated incidents by private entities,” Heidy Khlaaf, head AI scientist at the AI Now Institute, told 404 Media.
“The implications of AI-generated safety analysis and licensing in combination with aspirations of <5% of human intervention during normal operations, demonstrates a concerted effort to move away from humans in the loop,” she said. “This is unheard of when considering frameworks and implementation of AI within other safety-critical systems, that typically emphasize meaningful human control.”
Hmm

That being said I have no fundamental understanding of how they work. I hear and often regurgitate things like "language prediction" but I want a more specific grasp of whats going on.
I've read great articles/posts about the environmental impact of LLMs, their dire economic situation, and their dumbing effects on people/companies/products. But the articles I've read that ask questions like "can AI think?" basically just go "well its just language and language isnt the same as thinking so no." I haven't been satisfied with this argument.
I guess I'm looking for something that dives deeper into that type of assertion that "LLMs are just language" with a critical lens. (I am not looking for a comprehensive lesson on technical side LLMs because I am not knowledgeable enough for that, some goldy locks zone would be great). If you guys have any resources you would recommend pls lmk thanks
