I'd be more worried about how much you think your time is worth. If I was your customer, and I didn't care about your work being mostly AI made and likely with non-evident flaws, I'd pay you, or anyone with the same mindset,

The explode slider only raises the height of two green boxes, it has the same energy as those impressive Chinese robots when they trip and fall. I'm worried that I'm starting to find those glitches endearing.

It makes sense when you think AI is seen by the government as a strategic asset. They'll want it to progress unhampered, but also don't want other nations/actors to catch up.

The comparison is about how many tokens you buy vs how much hardware you could buy with the same money. It's as saying "if you have rib eyes at Applebee's every day, how long until cooking your own rib eyes pays for itself&qu

HN reflects what their users (or people trying to influence them) post most. A few years ago it was flooded with crypto, a few years later it will be flooded with something else.
