Zoom out. It's a matter of time the trillion valuations will be deemed senseless, only once it will prove inpossible to extract trillions from consumers.
In the meanwhile, and regardless, software optimisations coupled with hardware continuing to scale, we will end up, soon enough, with some open weight that run on a mobile device with greater capabilities than Fable.
- rustcleaner 4mo ago>only once it will prove inpossible [sic] to extract trillions from consumers. I am spreading a message of peace and sovereignty: Never subscribe. Never. Subscribe. Ever. Starve them out. Make their lenders take 95% haircuts. Just don't subscribe, whatever you do!
- aerhardt 4mo agoThis is utopian thinking. The products are way too useful to not subscribe. The argument presupposes the worst-case negative-utility in the long-term scenario (AI companies will create a totalitarian nightmare) and pits it against the radical usefulness that the products are creating right now.
- hirako2000 4mo agoThey aren't too good to not subscribe. I've used over a trillion tokens in the last few years with zero subscription. In fact I have one with deepseek, spend 13 cents to test some automation. The rest is consumed free of charge to bleed the bleeders. If/when they ALL enforce paid subscriptions, I will only run inference locally. By then consumer hardware will equal frontier models in term of speed and performance.
