AI winter is well on its way
I&#x27;ve always understood the claim that deep learning scales to be a claim about deployment and use of trained models, not about training. The whole point is that you can invest (substantial) resources upfront to train a sufficiently good model, but then the results of that initial investment can be used with very small marginal costs.<p>OP&#x27;s argument on this front seems disingenous to me.<p>His focus on Uber and Tesla (while not even mentioning Waymo) is also a truly strange omission. Uber&#x27;s practices and culture have historically been so toxic that their failures here are truly irrelevant, and Tesla isn&#x27;t even in the business of making actual self driving cars.<p>I&#x27;m the first to argue that right now AI is overhyped, but this is just sensationalist garbage from the other end of the spectrum.
