That's so unnecessary. The way we are going about "AI" is like brute forcing a password. Sure you'll get the job done, but it's the least efficient way to do it. I'm not saying I have the answer, but why not try and find a more efficient way to get the same results instead of building unnecessarily powerful PC's? I can only imagine how much redundancy is present in those LLM black boxes. It's just a word calculator.

I'm gonna go off on a limb and say that they're likely doing both.

Well they are definitely prioritizing one over the other.

You definitely sound educated and certainly not like a novice just bitching. In terms of AI research, which methods being explored (or not) do you feel need more direct investment?
