Indeed, it is the fundamental misalignment between the AI/LLM learning metaphor and the von Neumann computing technology that causes gigantic energy requirements. Of course, the AI giants know this, and are probably investing heavily in new hardware architectures.
Is software development overfitted to the von Neumann-Turing architecture?
I was on a panel about the future of software development and the use of AI (i.e., vibe coding). Joining me were @HerwigMannaert, @_HaWe_, Luigi Lavazza, Scott Gallant, and a sharp audience.
The discussion started with the traditional shortcomings of vibe coding and the challenges of translating prompts into correct code. Also the amount of energy required to train transformer-based models.
Then the conversation switched to a topic far more interesting and engaging. We know that natural language is used very effectively to train models and that there is existing hardware that consumes an average of 20–25 Watts per day. Of course, I’m talking about the human brain.
Maybe the next breakthrough in AI will be in new hardware-software architectures, escaping the 80-year-old hardware we’re still programming for.
No integration is too big or too exotic for the talented engineers at @NormalizedSys! The automated #drone cargo port will safely be controlled from the cloud thanks to the hard work of project partners @NormalizedSys, @HelicusAero and Avercon!
In deze tijden van overvloedig politiek debat over "beleid", laten we eens pogen wat dieper na te denken over creatie en/of behoud van onze welvaart.

"all of the papers she wrote, her projects, and even her thesis were about renewable energy and solar panels. In Wanaka’s opinion, it's an essential industry; it's moving fast, and a lot is happening and changing and Wanaka wants to be part of it."
