Hearing about aligning with the AI reminds me of this other post about the current prophecies about AI: “Everyone will have an AI assistant,” or “Companies that fail to adopt AI will be eliminated.” and that

We need better prophecies.

Everyone will have an AI assistant! The models will be open and free because of overwhelming competition and they will run on cheap local ASIC accelerators that use little power and fit in the palm of your hand! All the VC driven wild spenders will eventually cave and collapse when they can't deliver on their wild AGI promises, then their proprietary models will be sold at auctions for cheap!

(I am being proactive here, xd)

Yes, exactly. Moore's law says that in less than 10 years you will be able to fit today's state of the art models on your phone. If you add in all of the computationally and memory neutral improvements and breakthroughs that we will accumulate over the next 10 years then it will be both far more capable and far more reliable than today's models.

An AI assistant you can trust and bring with you is coming, and almost nothing can stop it.

Ah yes the -2nm node.

I'd like to see a full development of this idea. Something like a CPU that runs at -3 GHz. Or perhaps it generates power while it undoes computation?

It's too bad node size is a linear dimension rather than area. If it were area, we could get into its many complex/imaginary properties.

Ha well one that does computation with no power draw is theoretically possible, since processing as such does zero actual "work" physics-wise, it's all just various mechanical losses.

I have an AI assistant built into my phone I don't use. There's also one built into Windows I don't use. Several apps I use have AI assistants that I ignore. I kind of have one in the form of Google's AI search results that I wish I could turn off.

I use Claude on purpose. I'm not sure it's actually better than the other ones. I haven't even tried half of them.
