The cloud is extremely accessible. If I want thousands of cores and mountains of ram, it’s available to me in minutes. That’s not the problem. To even run one of these models, let alone train it, would be hundreds of thousands of dollars per day, and yes, if I had deep enough pockets I could easily do it on AWS or Azure.

It just requires far too much computing power for regular people to attain, regardless of what you know.

The energy requirements alone are massive. The software is far more ready for regular joes to use it than the hardware is. That’s going to take a decade or two to catch up.

That's why we need photonic computing... It literally solves all these problems...

lol Just stop. Articles from Buzzfeed and YouTube shorts don’t count.

Optical computer is so far away it’s not even funny. Quantum is so much closer, has been worked on for long and with more effort applied.

You would have to be a moron to abandon progress to switch to a new development.

Photonic computing is a type of computing technology that uses light or photons to process and transmit information instead of relying on electrons, which is how traditional electronic computing systems work. In a photonic computing system, light waves are used to carry data and perform calculations, instead of relying on electric currents.

In a photonic computing system, information is encoded in pulses of light that travel through optical fibers or other optical components such as waveguides and switches. These signals are then processed using photonic circuits, which use elements such as mirrors, lenses, and beam splitters to manipulate and combine the light waves.

Photonic computing has the potential to be faster and more energy-efficient than traditional electronic computing, because photons can travel faster and use less energy than electrons. It is also less susceptible to interference and noise, which can degrade signal quality in electronic systems. However, photonic computing is still in the research and development phase, and there are many technical challenges that must be overcome before it can become a practical technology for everyday use.

isnt this kinda similar to Li-Fi? what a powerful combination it would be to combine the two
