"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.

The training costs effectively enter a "divide by infinity" argument given enough time.
While they continue to train models at this time, eventually you hit a point where a given model can be used in perpetuity.
Costs to train go down, whereas the usability of that model stretches on to effectively infinity.
So you hit a point where you have a one time energy cost to make the model, and an infinite timescale to use it on.
Costs to train are going up exponentially. In a few years corps are going to want a return on the investment and they're going to squeeze consumers.
I can't wait for this to happen. Any day now, surely.
