You can check the hardware costs for self hosting a high end open source model and compare that to the tiers available from the big providers. Pretty hard to believe its not massively subsidized. 2 years of Claude Max costs you 2,400. There

So you are doubly stupid, by not seeing any improvement in the models and also paying for models you believe are terrible? lol

Are you guys ready for the bifurcation when the top models are prohibitively expensive to normal users? If your AI budget $2000+ a month? Or are you going to be part of the permanent free tier underclass?

This seems like something uniquely suited to the startup ecosystem. I.e. offering PQ Encryption Migration as a Service. PQ algorithms exist and now theres a large lift required to get them into the tech with substantial possible value.

Disagree, there are a lot of reasons to use open source local LLMs that aren't related to free/libre/oss principles. Privacy being a major one.

Pretty sure the entire markets for Storage, HBM, DDR5, etc are completely sold out for next several years. How is that saturated?

Do you really need Game Theory to figure out you need to build more houses and can't let NIMBY's be in charge of the decisions for where and when that is done?

Except you will never run out of challenges and my sense from Chollet has been that every challenge was hinted at being the final one where once beaten AGI would have been created and of course at the end of each one he comes out saying aks

So weird that railing against government overreach is now considered a leftist position when it was a fundamental right position for decades... You could not lick the boot harder if you tried.

This administration has taken grift and corruption to a level only seen in banana republics. I seriously don't know how you come back from this. GOP voters seem to be openly cheering it.
