This has been stated since ChatGPT was released and has not happened. The video cards released specifically for LLM usage do not benchmark particularly better than the previous generation. And it's still unbelievably expensive to run these cards and maintain the facility and, again, you only get like 3 or 5 years out of them! That's a crazy investment lol

The difference being they had a plan to monetize YouTube which offset the operating costs and even could make a profit, in addition to the stuff they over invested in having long term benefits. Aka they roughly could spent a lot to save money later off of what they built.

LLMs are not the same. They cost a shitload of money to run. Actual token based usage without being subsidized by investors would make any LLM cost users so much money that the actual value of it would immediately become major problem. Sure one can, currently, get decent code output by using hundreds or thousands of tokens, or using multiple LLMs / loops, or having agents go burn however many on iteration! But if we paid actual costs this shit would rapidly be shut down.

The AI infrastructure is also not saving money long term. Training is unbelievably expensive. Compute costs are all about gigantic data servers with video cards running, and the economics of all that is way tighter than anyone gives credit for. Those cards last like 3 years. The cooling costs are crazy. You have to have constant use to be efficient. None of these things are able to be covered by AI economics nor does it even make sense to be.

It costs too much, it's just being covered by your money being pissed away by tech investors for a technology that cannot survive.

You are not actually considering the scale of 20 billion dollars nor the jump in a single year. Those are bad things.

The actual economics behind LLMs shows us they cannot become profitable ever, and this "invest more before becoming profitable" story does not fit in part because of that. Other companies who used that model had a way to become profitable.

To be clear, this did not happen at all

GPU prices are gonna get cheaper, annnnyyyy day now folks, any day now

Definitely interesting that these honey bee keepers ended up pushing back against the bee crazy. Good for them.

In the US, honey bees are not native.

Plant native plants. Re wild parts of your yard. It's sad to see our bumble bee population diminishing, especially given how they are far superior pollinators.

also in that movie, the joke is that his neighbors are yuppies or something. So they aren't bothering him or do anything that warrants revving a chainsaw threateningly at them :)

Second cousins.

Plant native. Plants that are native to your ecosystem. Those are the true pollinator powerhouse plants that bees need to survive

Theres only one type of mod that racked up 100gb of Skyrim mods. And it's not because of looting mods!

This actually happened, btw

Next video, he's standing in a volcanic wasteland or something

"I'm here at what is widely considered to be the harshest, most inhospitable, shit hole of the planet. This volcano is irrelevant because I'm talking about..."

He pulls up a laptop and points it at the screen

"...4chan"

4chan posts are never fake though

Did you mean "bending"?

Professors hate this one weird trick called "studying"

It's a florks cow comic. So about 30% of the time you'll have absolutely no fucking idea what it means and never get an explanation

Castlevania is one of those shows that has no right to be good and yet is just overall great.

I use mint, btw

Remember folks, you're supposed to leave extra shit like this behind for exactly this reason
