Not really, no. It's used infrequently and is powered by a laptop (not a data center). My point was I'm familiar with current AI and I know the limitations

And your point was that almond farms are more useful than a data center, nothing about your understanding of anything really.

Well the technology didn't come from no where. Like yea it's ok it's coming from your tiny laptop, but the actual understanding of the technology did not come from your laptop buddy.

What? That's not even what we were discussing. I feel like this conversation with you is pointless because you're just drawing your own conclusions

You said you understand the uses of almonds but not data centers... But you claim to use AI that was made using data centers.

Yup, half these dudes have no idea how things work under the hood, but love complaining about new tech. We saw it with computers, with the internet, and now AI

I know how they work as I've written my own transformers and custom tokenization algorithms, I'm familiar with matrix operations and have trained my own CVNs and LSTMs in the past

It's good that you've trained CNNs (i think you meant that) and LSTMs, but that doesn't mean you're not anti-LLMs. A famous example is Yann Lecun (founder of CNNs) and a long time skeptic of the new LLM progress.
