No, I don't want to waste my time trying to change the view of someone so close-minded they can't accept that LLM's do anything close to "thinking" Sorry.

For sure, all these companies are racing to have the strongest model, and as time goes on we quickly start reaching diminishing returns. DeepSeek came out at the beginning of this year, blew everyone's minds, and now look at how far th

if we were having this conversation in 2023 I would agree with you, but LLM's have advanced so much that they are essentially efficient lookup tables is an oversimplification so dramatic I know you don't understand what you'r

You're misapplying the broken window fallacy. I'm not arguing consumption is good because it creates value, I'm arguing that it is not "taking from society" as the OP claimed. Consumption is the entire point of prod

Agreed. I know GDP is not the strongest signal for high quality of life, but its easy to calculate. My point wasn't that a high GDP means that the people there will have a high quality of life; it is easily manipulated with rents like

Cerebras offers pay-per-token. What are you asking for? Claude Code starts at $100, or $15/mtok. Cerebras is already much cheaper, but you want it to be even cheaper at $10?
