I don’t have access to the article, but my take is he is spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt about the much smaller Chinese models with the hope the government will step in and regulate them.

A fascinating little ring from the Punic necropolis on Ibiza. It depicts a bearded man in profile, but his hair and beard are composed of two birds (!), and his collar is a dolphin. 😮 The Punic inscription reads 'Belonging to Abdim'. 🏺 1/ 3rd-2nd c. BCE. #MuseoArqueológicoNacional 📸 me
A gold ring featuring a flat, circular shank that widens at the top to form an oval bezel with an engraving that may have served as a seal. The engraving depicts the profile of a bearded male head. The hair and beard are rendered as the images of two birds, and the neck terminates in a dolphin (looking like the collar of a garment). Beneath the figure, an inscription in Punic letters, displaying cursive traits, records the owner's name. The inscription can be transcribed as "Belonging to Abdim" (or Abdem).

@pkrugman.bsky.social makes a strong case that data center spending is shrinking the job market by crowding out other capital spending. It is reducing jobs even before LLM's (possibly) replace workers in some professions. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/will-ai-cr...

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon
Panel 1: a large robot (composed of AI servers, network switches, storage arrays, and power distribution units) and a human are talking.

Professor "You don't want to destroy humanity do you, lLLM-A-9300x?"

Robot "Haha. What a silly question, Professor. I have no desires or feelings of my own whatsoever."

Professor (relieved)"Oh good." 

Panel 2: they walk on. The robot continues  "I am merely a tool of the company that created me. And that company, being composed of humans, will naturally have humanity's best interests at heart."

Panel 3: The professor is conspicuously quiet.
"Right?" says the Robot.
…
More silence

"Professor?"

The Phantom of Heilbronn, also referred to as the Woman Without a Face, was a presumed female serial killer whose existence was inferred from DNA evidence found at 40 crime scenes across Austria, France and Germany from 1993 to 2009.

In March 2009, investigators concluded that the supposed serial killer did not exist, and the DNA belonged to a woman who worked at a factory that made the cotton swabs used for collecting DNA samples

According to my mom, the flour sacks were used for underwear because it was softer. The corn sacks were for dresses. Also, they walked to school barefoot and put their shoes on when they got there.

My mind came up with a brand new stress dream last night. I am in an office with carpeted floors and eight-person cubicles where four people on each side face each other. The cubicle is on a hill and when I try to type, I roll down the hill. Everyone one else is typing away.

Once you understand the corporate culture of AI hyperscalers is everyone cooking their brains by locking themselves in the bathroom, holding flashlights under their chins, and saying "Aaaaaaaaaay Eyeeeeeee" until they wet themselves in terror, things snap into focus: pluralistic.net/2023/06/04/a...
A cutaway view of a stone tower containing an elaborate water-powered medieval geared machine. Rising out of the machine is a rainbow-tinted, pixelated God with the robes, beard and all. To one side of this scene is a cluster of tiny people in Jesus-era robes, falling about themselves in religious ecstasy all over a stone staircase, atop of which stands a robed priest with his hands upraised. The background is a set of shining golden rays, emanating from pixel-God.

Folks there are data centers and then there are data centers. Small tech companies need secure places they can run their websites. That is likely what is being planned. The concern should be with data centers designed for GPU’s. It would be difficult to house an AI facility in a converted bld.

At the start of my career, I managed a bank of modems that transferred Usenet posts across the country. The project was funded by the Air Force. We had a connection to the arpanet drop at Hanscom AFB. The biggest expense was the long distance phone charges to UC Berkely.

We don't. But let's be clear about the uses of LLM's in software development and deployment. You are concerned about the use of LLM's to assist in writing software. LLM's can also be used to assist in penetration testing. That use case is what I was suggesting.
