Sure, it gets more complicated with storage. But I think we're mostly talking about stateless services here And for storage or storage-having services you could easily have a "shut it down but preserve the data for a comparatively

I'm not sure that's true. It's probably a lower risk for them, but still, a runaway service can rack up unlimited bills. At some point it matters to everybody. Even if they set it to $CURRENT_CASH_RESERVES, that has non-z

I thought I remembered someone saying AWS doesn't, and I've heard stories from people on here about other platforms

I've never been able to understand why so many usage-based hosting platforms don't give you the option to say "if my bill goes above X, shut down the service instead of continuing to charge me". It seems so easy and obvi

It dual-boots by default and even uses Apple's own boot menu, so you can try it out yourself with very little cost (aside from some disk space)

We'll probably see more diversity soon (not just "wrappers of OpenAI"), but for AI and LLMs in general I think we're just getting started; this is something like 2008 for smartphone apps. I think it'll be a decade a

If ChatGPT is trained on the data and ChatGPT is accessible to the general public, then the data may as well be accessible to the general public

by brundolf 4y ago
I think the market is going to explode (if it hasn't already) for on-prem, or at least private, LLMs on par with ChatGPT. This could be served by companies building their own, or by open-source projects, or by OpenAI or OpenAI's c

Ok, but in the original comment you were talking about the conversations being stilted and mostly limited to pre-baked commands like Siri/Alexa/etc. That's what I was saying doesn't apply here Vendor lock-in is a whole s

I've done some thinking about what the "AI-ification" of apps might look like too, and I can think of a few situations where replacing rigid code/schemas with squishy AI logic may not fully work: - Contention: a formal l

Yeah, so I think all of these fall under that category I mentioned (the first one may or may not for you, but it would for me because I don't work with Python much): most of the time saved is in looking up a bunch of things to assemble

Maybe I should just try it, but I don't feel like there are many situations where the process of "come up with a way to describe exactly what I want, generate it, and then debug the output until it works" would be faster than

Yeah I was thinking of the reapers, who [spoilers] did take over the entire galaxy, and decided to farm organic life from the shadows instead of extinguishing it (which works around the Fermi Paradox :) )

I'm not doing it right now, I'm more imagining a near-term product designed for this (maybe even with the option to self-host). Current LLMs probably couldn't hold enough context to analyze a whole codebase anyway, just one f
