I don't believe that this is the path to actual AI, but not for any of the reasons stated in the article.
The level of energy consumption alone is eye watering and unsustainable. A human can eat a banana and function for a while, in contrast, the current AI offering requirements are now getting dedicated power plants.
lol the entire hope is basically "infinite scaling" despite being way past diminishing returns multiple orders of magnitude ago.
