A lot of people already have 12GB+ GPUs lying around for playing games, doing video editing, etc. I would not get a GPU or mac just to run LLMs personally, but if one wants to get such a device for other tasks too, it may make sense to eg c

You took all this time to reformulate the question, add the relevant implicit context, and do back and forth BUT you did not have time to reformulate the answer to something human readable that YOU own and can take responsibility for? This

This is an argument that circulates a lot, but there are more bottlenecks than programming in businesses etc, so it does not mean that demand for this resource can increase necessarily to a degree of covering out the productivity increase.

I think the main fear is that the (assumed) increase of productivity means that employers may require less employees, resulting to less positions in the market. But I don't think that expertise is no longer relevant or we see getting m

Just curious: how would you rewrite the sentence to not seem ai generated in your tastes?

by freehorse 3mo ago
I am not sure what sounds AI generated in this sentence, but to each their own.

by freehorse 3mo ago
It does not read as AI generated to me, n=1. Even if it is, it does not have all the annoying, low effort slop-tells most ai generated content has, and it is definitely much more well written. That is, if you mean all of that seriously anyw

Is the majority of jobs that are related to this space and most people do here productive, by this definition? I would say it is destructive even. At least what OP says produces no harm at worst.
