> I think we might be getting close to an era where some people section off areas of land or the internet and ban AI and humanoid robots in that area

So basically we'll end up with a version of the amish that are stuck in the early 2000s instead of the 1800s.

fwiw sequencing your entire genome only costs $400 or so from providers like sequencing.com

A threat to use the stick is not a carrot.

I don't get why Anthropic keeps saying how cool it is that they were able to rewrite bun in rust, I feel like if the model is really that good you wouldn't need a rewrite, you'd be able to create the runtime from scratch.

> I don't care that Anthropic sells shovels in the gold rush

The people selling shovels are the ones building data centers and energy. Tokens are the "gold".

This "guy" is worth on the order of all football players put together.

Ironic that the link you sent has a pretty detailed (albeit rude) answer that specifically mentions that this is an issue with surround :)

> But you'd have no idea because they somehow completely deleted the neighbour's dialogue from the audio

This sounds pretty unlikely. It's more likely that there's an issue with your surround system, and that audio "should" be coming from your rear speakers but for some reason it's not.

So close to being the first kilocorn. A unicorn = 1 billion, this is almost 1k.

Is this because of the tok/s? Since it's pretty easy to run up a $5k bill in API usage for Claude/ChatGPT in a month.

I'll buy your macbook if you're trying to get rid of it!

The entire basis of this article is that generating tokens is a variable cost and that that cost will not decrease over time.

> On an economic basis, a monthly subscription only makes sense with relatively static costs.

Running a data center is a fixed expense. Whether or not people use that data center to it's capacity doesn't change how much the operator pays (electricity use factors into this, since a GPU running at 100% will use more watts than an idle one, but it doesn't move the needle much on other fixed and variable costs of a data center).

> They also assumed, I imagine, that the cost of tokens would come down over time, versus what actually happened — while prices for some models might have come down, newer “reasoning” models burn way more tokens, which means the cost of inference has, somehow, gotten higher over time.

This is backwards. When the cost of something goes down, people use it more. This is basic supply and demand. Inference has gotten cheaper already, and will continue to do so.

Companies subsidizing costs for growth happens all the time. Yes, switching to usage-based pricing instead of subscriptions sucks for customers, but enterprises will continue to pay.
