Excellent posts JBMcB!! here and above. Of all the explanations of how a neural network AI works your is #3 above is the clearest and most succinct.
^Indeed. Anyone following the stock of late will know the greatest driver on Wall Street has been Nvidia, a company that rose by creating GPU's for computer gaming. With the consequence of GPU's being adaptable for AI, Nvidia now has a virtual monopoly on them for provisioning the AI revolution. And their stock has gone out the roof. So important are their GPU chips that the US government bans export of their highest end chips to adversaries, China in particular.
On this front I, and I'm guessing you too JBMcB, am following the efforts toward creating personal agents, AI's that will be based on our private home computer systems that will serve as our own personal butlers, independent of and protected from internet based AI's and networks.
I've seen where there are many instances of open-source AI's being offered by Meta, Google and others. Right now it takes some heavy hardware but the coding is becoming leaner and cleaner to the point where we will all have the option of our own personal AI's. "AI, go through my email archives and Quickbooks for the past five years with Company XYZ and create a new product proposal with cost analysis..."
Thoughts?
