1) I can't do the complete math since I don't know the exact costs, but basically: A) Running a remote cloud LLM costs about nothing in dollars to the user. B) Running a remote cloud LLM does cost for the provider. Note however Mi

There's a good chance you're right about Altman's motivations. This doesn't make the case for regulation weaker (or stronger). There are bigger things at play than OpenAI's financial forecasts, even if Altman's

Same corporations happily use Office 365 and GSuite for all their documents rather than a local and private solution. I'm sure they'll come to a similar arrangement with regard to AI.

1) Giant serverfarms are expensive, but Microsoft has money and savings on scale. This can compare favourably to running locally. 2) People use what LLMs software makers give them and don't care at all about on premise. Software makers

Yea, somebody will have to evaluate whether the image matches the word, and that is currently done by the witnesses themselves. How is it worse than the current state?

Our hypothetical AI won't make any decisions. It just makes sketches as described and approved by witnesses. The relevant racism here is the one any witnesses may have, that's true even with a human police sketch artist.

Accountability for what? I recall Procedure already requires approval of the final sketch by the witness. Witnesses could always make mistakes, but that's true even in the current process. Or is your argument sketches should never be u
