- mewpmewp2 2y agoThese systems are likely under heavy sign up attacks and so must have a way to guard against that since their costs are quite high.
- mulmen 2y agoI’m really curious where that line is and how it is identified. How much business is lost to the onboarding friction? Is it more or less than the cost of the attacks? On one extreme usage of the service is totally open to everyone. On the other it is completely locked down and nobody can use it ever. Clearly neither of those are workable. So it’s a question of how far to go with validation.
- mewpmewp2 2y agoThere is just no choice at all. Due to cost of running those LLMs it would be very easy for adversary to spam bots to use their service for free.
