I cannot fathom how much compute will be wasted with that type of always on agentic systems

Forget the compute, what about the energy (and other resource) requirements?

▲dgellow 5 hours ago | parent | next [-]

Yes that’s what I meant. Compute requires energy, infrastructure, etc. easily more than 90% of it will be wasted, just LLMs processing meaningless data in cronjobs, for the few instances where there is something actually meaningful to report to the user

Do you want to ban almonds because they require a lot of water? (1000x more AI?)

People aren't mortgaging their existence to get a piece of the almond market.

I’m so suspicious of that exact claim being repeated everywhere since a few weeks, that really feels like a slogan astroturfed. It’s also fairly shallow analysis. Water is localized, you cannot do a meaningful comparison without taking in account the impact on specific water sources, an aggregate doesn’t give you any insight (other than having a slogan)
