Depends what you mean by relevant. If you use AI primarily as a search/knowledge engine, it makes no sense. If it's your capable assistant that has a lot of general knowledge, can do tool calls, and has a big context window, very doable.
replyIndeed, for some kinds of applications involving secure/legal data etc. I can see the consistency of silicon winning out, because it combines performance with immutability and guardrails in hardware. Some chips have write-once PROMs to store password hashes and similar, you could do the same thing with prompt hashing to absolutely force or forbid certain behaviors. A model that can't be updated is also a model that can't be hacked.
People already buy new phones every year, this just creates even more reason to do so
replyOutside of this website I've never met a person who buys a new phone every year. It's closer to every 3-4 years for most people.
replyCloser to every 5-6 years these days and with ram prices going up it will be even longer. Especially with the low/mid range phones, which are most phones outside some developed countries, people will keep their phones as long as they can.
replyWould depend on the income levels, but yeah, buying a new phone these days is entirely a non essential luxury. An iphone easily lasts 7 years so the moment money is tight, it's a very easy choice to not buy a new one.
replyYour location/income bias is showing.
Most people do not buy new phones every year.
replyI live in the bay area and buy a phone maybe every 3 years? Why do people waste so much money :D
replyBase model sure, but the stack will be hybrid. It’s still early days here. Too bad FPGAs have such large feature size.
replyOne of these chips smart enough to take orders at a drive-thru would be relevant for a decade, minimum.
