We begin today’s show with a roundup of news on Senate negotiations over the government shutdown, as well as the news of Trump deploying troops to Israel to promote aid for Islamic nutcases. Next, we’re joined by Brian Jacobson, an expert in training with AI LLMs, for a long discussion about the unsustainable pursuit of “artificial general intelligence.” He explains how cloud-based AI chatbots are barely bringing in revenue and relying on Enron-style accounting to push a massive bubble without creating external revenue. He also debunks the talking points about data centers being the key to rivalling China and the notion that we are on the cusp of deploying new nuclear technology that can power this bubble. Finally, we discuss the difference between narrow-tailored AI, which is beneficial, profitable, and a useful pursuit, vs. artificial general intelligence, which relies on data centers and other painful “investments.” Brian also explains how we are nowhere near achieving AGI because God’s human brain invention is a lot more complicated than we even realize.
