@anildash@me.dm Totally insane to me how the most valuable ways these models appear to be used by both normal people (as an answer engine that basically synthesizes a google+wikipedia integration) and enthusiasts (local “agent” run amok) are totally achievable with very inexpensive tools using traditional computing interfaces.
Reminds me a few years ago how all the tech billionaires were trying to find a way to recreate public transit with venture capital. We already solved these problems cheaply!

@mldsmith@thecanadian.social @anildash@me.dm Isn't that the business model of the software ( and hardware ) world since years? The concept seems to have always been: Replace free but "complicated" stuff with the paid "one button press / instant gratification" version that can upscale to the masses. Its akin to selling someone a 500 hp race car that sits either in a garage or in traffic jams ... :D
