But the unique thing about AI is that the "world" is depending on it like water, oil, gas, etc. Not just a specific use case.

- colechristensen 6mo agoSo it should be free? What's your point exactly?
- wslh 6mo agoNo, that's not my point. My point is that AI looks like something fairly unique in today's landscape: a resource that almost everyone is starting to depend on. It's a bit like the Internet, except usage is metered, and paying more can improve the quality of the result for the same underlying task, such as cybersecurity. In this context I also imagine we will have greater and greater local models, and the (dependency) ending game is completely unclear.
- efficax 6mo agoIt's just computation, which the world already depended on. we're in the mainframe era, but "AI" will go personal, and on-device.
- wslh 6mo agoGood analogy, but there's a key difference: mainframes were an institutional dependency, whereas the world's reliance on LLMs is consumer driven, ubiquitous, an uncapped (e.g. spend more on the same "loops"). Completely agree on the second point, though powerful local models are the inevitable next step, and they are arriving fast.
