		HervalFreire on March 27, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Prospect of an AI Winter It's different this time. Because this time AI is hugely more popular in the public and corporate sphere. The previous AI winters were more academic winters with few people pushing the envelope. I don't think compute is the issue. It's an issue with LLMs. Current LLMs are just a stepping stone for true AGI. I think there's enough momentum right now that we can avoid a winter and find something better through sheer innovation.

I think the difference is AI takes data and in the past we just didn't have much data.

Now the vast majority of the worlds population has a cellphone and internet service, and use services that AI can improve/affect.
