OpenAI, Google and Anthropic are struggling to build more advanced AI

Every negative headline I see about AI hitting a wall or being over-hyped makes me think of the early 2000's with that new thing the 'internet' (yes, I know the internet is a lot older than that). There is little doubt in my mind that ten years from now nearly every aspect of life will be deeply connected to AI just like the internet took over everything in the late 90's and early 2000's and is now deeply connected to everything now. I'd even hazard to say that AI could be more impactful.

And, as I've noted a couple of times in this thread, how many times have we heard that Moore's law is dead and compute has hit a wall?

Well according to Nvidia you can just ignore Moore's law and start requiring people to install multi kilowatt outlets just for their cards. Who needs efficiency amirite?

I'm not an apple fan (as I type on a mac that I am forced to use) but I gotta applaud their push for power efficiency. NVIDIA actually -does- have a few cards they make that really improve power efficiency but then they generally hamstring them with a lack of memory. NVIDIA is really good at making their high-end cards the only viable choice but I think that will backfire on them as people like me, that value quiet, cool and efficient over 25% faster inference start taking any viable alternative that comes out.
