"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.

I don't know exactly how to best phrase it, But once they start getting the bill I think they're going to regret relying so much on AI.
Like we're just starting to get to the end of the honeymoon phase with AI pricing. Because only Nvidia is making any money out of any of this which is not good business for all the rest.
My work which was pushing AI hard before, I've already started seeing a little bit of panic now that GitHub co-pilot changed it's pricing model. Like some people have already used like 70% of this month's allotted tokens
So cost is going to be very prohibitive.
And on the flip side, if I was in a technical interview, I'm putting you in a position where you can't use AI. If you can't answer the questions correctly without AI I'm not hiring you.
I think in the future there will be lower cost chips that require less power consumption. You'll have your own llm on your phone or whatever. The current state of things is like when computers were mainframes and took up a whole room.
Just one more funding round, I swear bro, then it will become cost efficient
I think that these big companies will crash and burn and llms will be like voice assistants. Basically a novelty. At this point too much data is in private hands and locked behind paywalls for an llm to be truly useful. For instance car repair and legal process are locked behind expensive subscriptions and frankly using an llm on a specialty like law, vehicle repair and medical is a horrible idea. An llm in those aspects might help steer you in the right direction but you still have to have expert knowledge.
