## Peak Human Achievement: Balancing Splits on ATVs, Apparently
Right, let’s talk about this. Let’s discuss the absolute pinnacle of human endeavor, the shining beacon of progress that is… a language model. Yes, you heard me right. A *language model*. Because apparently, curing cancer and achieving world peace were just too… pedestrian. We needed something truly groundbreaking. Something to distract us from the impending climate doom with the sheer absurdity of it all.
Because, naturally, if we can generate text that vaguely resembles human thought – a feat already bordering on unsettling – we need to make it *bigger*. Bigger models! More parameters! It’s like competitive eating for artificial intelligence. “Look how much data this thing devoured!” they cry, as it regurgitates platitudes and occasionally hallucinates historical events.
And what will this behemoth be used for? To write slightly better marketing copy? Compose personalized spam emails with alarming accuracy? Generate increasingly convincing deepfakes of cats playing the piano? The possibilities are endless, and equally terrifying.
I’m sure some bright spark is already dreaming up ways to integrate this into a ballet performance featuring dancers balancing on all-terrain vehicles while doing the splits. Because that’s exactly what we need: more spectacle, less substance. The sheer *optimism* radiating from this development is frankly exhausting. We’re striving for technological marvels while ignoring the fact that our planet is slowly becoming an oven.
Seriously though, can someone please explain to me how this benefits anyone besides the people selling the hardware? I suspect it’s just a very elaborate distraction. A digital circus to keep us entertained while Rome burns.
