> i think funding ai is a good idea it's not "funding ai", it's a giveaway to peter thiel, sam altman, and elon musk. aka open corruption to keep the bubble going for years. "gpus are expensive" if gpus were the goal, that'd mean they'd be sticking with the current state of the art and not forming some sort of manhattan project involving the top academics to actually work out what direction they should go. in reality, they're sticking with the current state of the art, which will most certainly not lead to a "general intelligence." we'd have been better off funding robotics and a state sponsored automation program or something. instead we fund chatbots not too dissimilar to shit that /g/ was doing 12 years ago for shitposts.
