AI will become part of the 3GPP Cellular specifications for 6G (release IMT 2030), (although some companies already use it to optimize/manage their networks.)  It's not yet established how this will work.  I was listening to a symposium last night about how to have an extremely low latency network able to access a LLM.  One of the members said that we couldn't have a local LLM because couldn't put a nuclear reactor at every node, and my immediate thought was "Or can we?" :shifty:

He suggested using a digital twin (and barring the invention of Mr. Fusion from "Back to the Future", that's probably the most realistic way.)
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Today I read an article in the IEEE Communication Society journal which detailed a plan for a network of satellite data centers.  (I know this is something Elon Musk has pitched, but he's also pitched colonizing Mars, so I'm sometimes skeptical of his ideas.)  From a technical standpoint it looked plausible (a series of distributed solar powered data centers which communicate to the ground through a lower orbiting satellites.)  It wasn't a business plan, so I don't know if the cost of launces would justify whatever benefits it would bring (they pitched the data centers need for energy as a driver.)  It still sounds like something that belongs to science fiction (a cloud beyond the clouds) rather than peer reviewed paper in a technical journal.

Good sense starting to prevail? Hope for humanity after all.

After a lot of effort to use AI in many parts of my life I have gradually come to the conclusion it sucks. Sure it seems nifty at first but it just...never quite gets you there. I don't really know how to explain it, I just usually feel so frustrated with it, like it can do what it does just fine but nothing beyond that and eventually it just burns you out.

I know that isn't a very descriptive criticism but I guess I could use this example to illustrate my point: at first it is cool how AI can edit things you write. Really cool and useful but...over time...you start to see how it makes your writing sound generic and like AI wrote it and that is frustrating. So you start finding yourself taking the stuff the AI edited and editing it again to sound like you and at that point why bother? You see what I am getting at?

I don't really know how to think about it but I will take an AI break for a bit and come back to it later with fresh eyes.
Quote"This is a Russian warship. I propose you lay down arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed & unnecessary victims. Otherwise, you'll be bombed."

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

QuoteAs democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
