@Lafargue@mastodon.social I think LLMs are an attempt to change that state of affairs though? The whole appeal for capitalists is that you need a data center to run them — they make information retrieval materially expensive/scarce

@ajswritesthings@plasmatrap.com Well you need material resources to run any of these things - the internet too, which has always obviously required a vast physical infrastructure. Capitalists will always aim to rent seek - I see that as something close to axiomatic lol - but I don't know that it's more of a problem with this tech specifically than with previous technologies?
