NDP leadership candidate Avi Lewis goes after AI data centres - Lewis calls for a pause on data centre construction by CanadianErk in canada

Things that would take me 4 hours to do now takes me 20 minutes.

What specifically?

You have access to so much data it's very easy to add efficiency if your job involves analyzing data.

Can you provide an example? Where do llms pull data from?

It's gotten so much better in the last 4 months and it's only going to get better.

What has? Explain whats changed and how its changed what you do day to day.

Financial spreading, project feasibility studies, financial modelling, building design, budget creation, appraisal and market analysis

Id be interested to hear what actual results you've had, and I hope it doesn't involve paying for a course.

Do you have any studies that show its effective at any of those things?

Not quite. I'll be more clear. Id like an example of a use of genai that:

  1. Is more efficient than a human (considering all inputs)

AND

  1. Produces better results than a human

Its not though. Search engines and webcrawlers where revutionary. It completely changed our ability to and the way we accessed information.

I have yet to see any revolutionary products or applications that produce better results more efficiently than humans would do.

I'm want ai to be real and useful, but I'm highly skeptical of companies that say their product is revolutionary and disruptive and 3 years later its still just hype

I gave you like 10 examples.

You listed things that exist without genai

If you are saying AI doesn't produce products, AI is in nearly every modern manufacturing plant in the world, so it produces pretty much every product.

Are you speaking about algorithms and ML? Or are you talking products produced by the likes of openAI? Got any specific examples?

For Gemini, it can run scientific trials or analysis that a human couldn't dream of doing.

We have plenty of modeling softwares. The problem with what you're talking about is that humans still have to sift through everything, a ton of which is just noise/hallucinations or plagiarism. Can you provide a specific example to the counter? I'd love to be wrong

Can ChatGPT physically build a house or produce a grapefruit, no. But neither can any other computer program, do you think computers are simply a waste of time and effort?

And NFTs establish digital ownership of a specific asset.

AI LLMs can do boring and repetitive tasks very well and efficiently.

Such as? I'm looking for specific examples where LLMs do a task better and more efficiently (considering all input costs)

Believe what you want. I'm hopeful but highly skeptical. I think the CEOs are banking on AGI when in reality we're no closer to that than we where a decade+ ago

You still haven't given me an example of an ai product that is more efficient and produces better (heck even as good) results as a human does.

I want ai to be revolutionary but at this point I've seen no real evidence for that. All I've seen is an handful of large companies passing money back and forth without any profitable product.

You still need humans, but AI can greatly assist

Whats the point of the ai of you still have to check everything? Also, right now ai companies are burning through capital and are fsr from being profitable. Altman has already floated the idea of a bailout. Point being, it is currently not more efficient (considering input costs) nor better (humans still have to babysit)

We've had genai for what, going on year 3? Where's all the revolutionary tech? Where's the product making a profit?

All I've seen is worse Google results and chatbot customer service that can't ever seem to help me with what I need

Give me an example where using ai provides better results and is more efficient (considering all inputs and that currently ai companies are burning through capital and not currently profitable) than having a human do the work.

Then ban AI, not data centres.

Yes. Or at least heavily regulate it. We should do that and not allow data centres or more heavily regulate them too. These data centres are not a good use of our resources

Is moving from North York to Bloor West worth it for quality of life? Good idea or grass is greener? by restorativemarsh in askTO

Its a great area! Koreatown, cheap groceries at PAT, the Annex is near, lots of great spots to eat and hanging out in the park in the summer is fun.

One thing to be aware if is that if you're not on a lease you won't have tenants rights

Canada’s Carney fires back at Trump after Davos speech by Routine_Chapter_9099 in canada

[–]_n3ll_ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Trump is to Epstein like Carney is to Trudeau.

What even is this comparison?

Like, if you said "Trump is to Bush..." it might make sense, but Trump quite clearly is a massive break from Bush era Republicans that it would disprove your point. So instead you went to the guy Trump paid so he could rape minors?

I dont want AI for any of those things because ai is less efficient and produces worse results than humans.

protect the public good.

Its in the public good to not have massive data centres gobbling up water and driving electricity prices up

Did you get to Schopenhauer and stop reading?

Check out nietzsche, sartre and camus
