@carbsrule_en@polyglot.city @bleeptrack@vis.social ah well. they're useless anyway for what i'm working on. and i maintain that it's still all very much tech demo level. i wouldn't say the amount of required electricity is exponential (only while the industry grows), or that it has to be generated by fossil fuels (forever), but it's definitely true that, at non-subsidized cost, present architectures cannot compete with the cost of human labor.

@carbsrule_en@polyglot.city @bleeptrack@vis.social so this is truly operation braindead: coders overly relying on subsidized outsourcing will see their skills atrophy; but eventually the well runs dry and they - and the models they use - will be behind programmers who continue to push the craft forward. i only see a value gain for handwritten code in new languages. every model update is expensive so anthropic et al will feel the impulse to stop time - which they can't.
