“This is a race,” O’Leary said. “And I think the current administration is starting to watch from satellites how many of these data centers are being built [in other countries]. Langley [Air Force Base] and everybody else is saying, ‘Damn, how are we going to catch up here?’ This is a big problem.”
More likely he meant Langley [Central Intelligence HQ]
O’Leary is a nut in general, so his take doesn’t shock me.
The countries that invest the most money into “AI” are going to be the countries that get the most screwed. Models trained through expensive & exploitative brute force will be used by others to trained distilled models, which are even better and require exponentially fewer resources to develop.
The CIA should probably be keeping tabs on the models trained by foreign adversaries such that we can train distilled models stateside, but that’s it. We have to stop giving datacenter subsidies & we need datacenter operators pay for the infrastructure that they require. This does nothing but delay the inevitable bubble burst.
And the reality of the situation at present is that we have been training models in very brute force, resource intensive ways that China has used to develop their own distilled models that are better than ours. They are getting much more for much less. Let’s flip that script & stop screwing over ratepayers in the process.
Mr. O’Leary doesn’t care or won’t talk about this “race” to build data centers, and the environmental damage left in the wake.
