    According to this guy, only one thing is allowed to happen at a time. Sorry all, LLMs are the only option. Nothing else.

      I don’t see google, twitter, facebook, nvidia and alibaba working on AIs more than the ones designed to replace humans for content generation, and I don’t see money from anyone else of that size going into such projects either.

        Then you should take a better look, because most of those companies are researching AI for tasks far beyond content generation - Google and NVIDIA for example have been doing a lot of research on AI for robotics.

          https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/research/ai-playground/

          This is the most public place where Nvidia discusses their projects. None of these are robotics and this is the most public place where Nvidia talks about their AI projects. Admittedly we also have models that are replacing engineers as well as artists, but I still don’t see where they’re advertising their robotics work.

          https://labs.google/

          This is the most public place where Google discusses their projects. Again, no discussion of robotics.

          They very well could still be doing robotics work, but I don’t care if they are because they haven’t advertised it to the public and tried to get us excited about it anywhere near the level they have all advertised their generative AIs.

          I honestly don’t care about the extent to which they’re investing in one application of AI or the other, I care about the culture war these companies are washing against us, trying to make us all okay with AI generated content that displaces humans from doing the work they enjoy so that they can make money. If they’re making robots with AI too, why aren’t they talking about it nearly as much?
