I don’t think the industry knows how to price this stuff. Deepseek is great (I’m running it on a RTX 6000 pro setup) but it’s nothing like Fable. It’s still strongly human-in-the-loop which is fine, until you experience how good these model

Anthropic? absolutely. But there is a strong Jevons paradox component. OpenAI, Google, or SpaceX have a moat of hardware and energy. If AI is 100x cheaper orgs will use 100x more AI and the benefit of algorithmic improvements will flow to w

It's less than $1/TB. If you have settlement-free peering it's like fractions of a penny at scale. Cloud provider DTO pricing is literally the biggest scam on Earth.

What kind of work are you doing and what do you consider to be quality or not? Of course don’t let me assume, maybe you have a higher quality disproof for the Jacobian conjecture you could share with the class.

I’m using both side by side, my employer pays by the token and I have a Max 20x plan. They start hitting timeouts or API errors at the same time on two different computers. As far as I can tell it’s the exact same infrastructure.

If all the talk is true that something approximating human intelligence can be scaled simply by building more datacenters, absolutely, it will be the most desired commodity in the world surpassing all others.

Imagine if we applied this train of logic to humans. "That artist saw a pelican at the beach once!" [cue the outrage] "He's not a real artist, he's a cheater and produces nothing original!"

There is a lot of precedent for this. Even on Earth, in 2026, international maritime law states that there is no such thing as a vessel with "democracy" and that a captain always has supreme command. Ships, airplanes, etc are all

Do you use it or is this speculation? The AI tooling I used 12-24 months ago if frozen in time, monetized correctly is probably 100x the capability of what software could do before (And software was already eating the world long before AI).

We had this in Utah for over a decade now (Approx. 24% of the State) via Utopia, congrats to Switzerland on finally catching up. I believe 10G is around $200/month and you can select from a dozen or so ISPs on the other end. If you wer

Things can get both more expensive and cheaper at scale, hence the term. For example (and relevant to AI) I can generate electricity on my roof at $0.20-25/kWh, batteries included. In California the electric utility can’t offer it chea

Honestly your best bet is to buy a $20 Claude subscription, ask Claude to set it all up with Pi and llama.cpp and come back in 20 minutes after a cup of coffee. This is also a good idea because it will help set expectations of what a local
