Energy makes the world go round
My CTO mentioned a statement during his short talk about AI, which was: “Think about it like exchanging energy for outcome.”
He was stating that it was similar to bitcoin where you trade energy for cryptographic verifiability.
That got me thinking that all things are exchange of energy. You put energy into processing ingredients and out come cookies, or dinner. You eat chemical energy in order to utilize electrical energy to do kinetic energy to in order make sweet tasting chemical energy again.
With AI it is not different indeed. You expend/spend energy in order to get some object. Now what would be detrimental is the object has not got the value equivalent to the energy put in.
In other words your cookies failed, did not taste good, were burnt, were too sweet, not sweet enough, missed chocolate, missed other ingredients, what have you.
Important to keep at the back of your mind when dealing with AI: make the value of what you get back from it match the energy required to produce it.
You do this by being specific and concise. As in so many situations that need parties to work together, good and clear communication is essential.
