Data vs Compute: The Real Bottleneck in AI Development
By
–
If you could afford a Cray, collecting 1.2 million digital images for ImageNet would not be a gating factor. DQN or AlphaGo didn’t need any data. The ChatGPT moment would have needed more data and compute, but the data would still be the lesser challenge.
