Excellent choice of words there: new standard. I'm sure we are, but it doesn't look like an improvement for most people.

- johnbenoe 1y agoNot yet at least, but there’s no stopping this kind of efficiency jump. Anyone who thinks otherwise is in denial.
- myko 1y agoMaybe, but aren't LLM companies burning cash? The efficiency gains I see from LLMs typically come from agents which perform circular prompts on themselves until they reach some desired outcome (or give up until a human can prod them along). It seems like we'll need to generate a lot more power to support these efficiency gains at scale, and unless that is coming from renewables (and even if it is) that cost may outweigh the gains for a long time.
- johnbenoe 1y agoThey’re burning cash at a high rate because of the grand potential, and they are of course keeping some things behind closed doors. I also respect the operative analysis, but the strategical, long-term thinking, is that this will come and it will only speed up everything else.
- codr7 1y agoThe grand potential of short sighted profits with no concern for society nor other humans, yes.
- codr7 1y agoI would say anyone who sees that happening is in denial, because all the proof out there points in the opposite direction.
- codr7 1y agoThere are also no indications that it's coming. Anyone who assumes so is delusional.
