"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Claudes the favorite. Opus 4.5 is the only one worth a damn. But it's EXPENSIVE ASF to run. I really dont see a universe where this tech continues to be so wide used unless the solve this problems.
It's like a shitty intern. I can't even imagine the full operation cost. I wouldn't pay whatever it is for nothing but a shitty Intern.
Sounds like they were expecting Moore's law to kick in for AI compute costs and it never did.
Yeah pretty much everyone is scrambling for some sort of efficiency increase in the hardware or the models. It's my opinion that the ability of the LLMs is going to hit the top of the S curve soon. Then they will start experimenting with different model strategies etc. that's when things will really get scary.
