Scott Jenson

This is the third and last in my series on #UX and #LLMs. It was the hardest to write as I (rather foolishly) take a stand on where we should go. My basic point is that the current AI bubble is going to pop. So what should replace it? I make the case that smaller, more energy-efficient, and more ethically trained models should be used for "boring" tasks. Our job is to solve problems, not look cool.

@span scottjenson libraries designated by legal deposit legislation should govern the training of sovereign generative models. Pretty boring, probably costly to the institutions, and not as good as training on the entirety of the internet every other minute, but also probably good enough for most people who aren't expecting to structure their lives around an interface to an evernigh AGI.
