"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 appreciate how this newsletter/article does a solid job of highlighting some of the weird dealings we may be seeing that make these companies look more viable than they are (very much including these companies essentially subsidizing each other).
The big thing I keep coming back to is that there doesn't seem to be a path to profitability for the LLMs. Chapo Trap House had an interview with Ed Zitron and he highlighted that some of the power users are pulling down over $50k in generation/prompt costs while spending $20 a month (or whatever, I'm spitballing the numbers).
