The Bitter Religion: AI's Holy War Over Scaling Laws:

The AI community is divided over "The Bitter Religion" and its focus on scaling computation as the primary driver of AI performance. Some, including OpenAI leaders, believe AGI can be achieved soon through continued scaling, while others argue that alternative scientific advancements are needed. The debate impacts investment and development strategies across AI and adjacent fields, as scaling laws may not be sustainable long-term.
