Artie - Part 3 - The Big Con

 One of the most important things for Arties is how you digest the input before you shove it in.  You must turn a face into a bunch of measurements, and you break up speech by the Large Language Model.  I would say "I'm having a conniption fit.", and the 'digester' breaks it up into nouns, verbs, etc.

Along the way, something amazing happened.  Take a billion dollars and set up a huge AI centre, illegally read every book in the world, and suddenly you have something that can have a chat.  Add more billions, and get pictures and videos.

Now, like all English Majors, you see a trend and extrapolate it in a straight line to infinity.  He who throws in the most billions wins the whole banana!

Just like climate change, you forget all about scaling, even though it was scaling that got you there.  To figure out the end of this, you have to go to physics.

I am not going to physics, because nobody does this.  Just imagine the worst possible end for all this, and that's what's going to happen.
