@Lafargue@mastodon.social wrt the "actually existing" solutions, again it's so hard to have a meaningful conversation about any of this because so much vital data is secret atm. How much do these things really cost to run? Would it even be worth it to run them as utilities? Knowing our luck we'll end up with a situation where AI companies own the models, the state pays for inference, and workers are made to pay subscription fees as the cost of entry to the labor market lol

@ajswritesthings@plasmatrap.com yeah - you may well be right about personal computing - wdik lol. On how much they cost to run, I feel like it must be the case that quite a bit of the money these companies are spending is going into the race for AGI, rather than the business-as-usual operations of existing models?
