But we get a huge increase in accuracy, from 30% to 30.5%! And it only took 5x the energy consumption!
Tech hasn't improved that much in the last in the last decade. All that's happened is that more cores have been added. The single-thread speed of a CPU is stagnant.
My home PC consumes more power than my Pentium 3 consumed 25 years ago. All efficiency gains are lost to scaling for more processing power. All improvements in processing power are lost to shitty, bloated code.
We don't have the tech for AI. We're just scaling up to the electrical senand demand of a small country and pretending we have the tech for AI.

It's the muscle car era: can't make things more efficient to compete with Asia? MAKE IT BIGGER AND CONSUME MORE
