"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Speaking during an interview on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" segment earlier this week, CEO of cybersecurity giant Palo Alto Networks Nikesh Arora implored the tech industry to lower the cost of AI.

During the segment, the chief executive argued that the cost to use large language models (LLMs) has to drop by 20 percent by 2027 — and 90 percent by 2028 — for the tech to be useful to enterprises.

"We need to see the pricing for AI come down," Arora said.

Not really, we're talking about running companies for the betterment of society, which CEOs don't do, so it's not implied that they would be capable of the thing that I mentioned would be required to do that

Also, they do make decisions. Almost exclusively bad decisions, because they're out of touch with the real world and the lived experiences of ordinary people, and they don't care about right and wrong, and their only concern is "line go up." But even bad decisions are still decisions.

LLMs literally cannot make decisions, good or bad, because that's fundamentally not a capability it possesses. If you ask it to make a decision it will hallucinate something based on any irrelevant details it finds in its context window. It can't perform cognitive reasoning, or weigh pros and cons, or consider secondary and tertiary effects.
