"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.

Nowhere near the actual cost, however. Estimates range from $5 to $10 compute cost for every $1 compute revenue for LLMbecile subscriptions.

Will the people using a $20 subscription now be copacetic with a $200 one (needed for the slopmongers to just break even)? Somehow ... I don't think so. $20 is still in the realm of 'mad money' spending for the middle class. $200 is not.

GREAT counterpoint.
