In a statement to Bloomberg , OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap directly addressed the MIT and Harvard Business studies. "There’s a lot of studies flying around saying this, that and the other thing. They never quite line up with what we see in practice."
The AI industry doesn't just have academia to reckon with in the new year, however. The physical realities of the needs of the AI industry to keep up with data center expansion are catching up, with a copper shortage expected to hit data center buildouts in the next decade, matching the current RAM shortage crisis currently caused by AI data centers. Add this to rising public fear and outrage over data center expansion's health risks and rising electricity prices , and the AI juggernaut will have more pictures to paint than one of productivity.

ravewulf As we all know, first-party benchmarks are always 1,000% accurate and contain no bias at all. Next you'll tell me that oil companies suppressed information on climate change. Oh wait… Reply
SonoraTechnical We shouldn't question the benevolent AI overlords. Interesting there are no links from the article to the comments section anymore; nor any comment peeks at the end of the article. Appears Toms Hardare has removed these. Authors have the final word with no input from the peanut gallery…. Probably almost time to be done with Tom's Hardware for me…. It's been a fun 30+ years.

alan.campbell99 I was wondering about seeing no comments at the bottom of several articles lately. And yes, I'd also treat OpenAI and Anthropics claims here the same way I'd treat Intel or AMD-released benchmarks; wait for independent reviews/reports. Reply
timsSOFTWARE What's funny is how many of those companies probably could have saved at least that amount of time per day for their engineers before by investing in hardware – but for workstations rather than AI. Reply
