I don't understand what you mean by the 'doomhype train "AI" companies are peddling.' I am curious about how AI and robotics work in relation to each other. If they have overscaled LLMs, then those need training, operation, and experimentation which seems to be a part of the AI bubble.

Ed, do you think current robots have enough on-board space to accommodate robust AI and, if not, the goal of the silicon valley princelings is to have an army of centrally-controlled AI kill-bots to use as a social control mechanism and that is the reason for massive data-center investment?

I gave up software dev and fled into the desert to raise cattle as a subsistence farmer bc I did not like tasting vomit in my mouth at the daily stand-up when her ilk asked us to build something stupid that they could take credit for. Since then, I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

I think it was the Kos that coined the term "stochastic terrorism" after Gabby G was assassinated at a constituent meet and greet. Her loss still breaks my heart 'til this day and I know that we have more and more sweetness turned to anguish in our future just like her loss.
