They never expected their models could be used for reverse engineering.That's the truth.

Now, they're panicking. And this is why the other dude, OpenAI, came out to say that people shouldn't use RAM locally, because they can't control the software anymore.

Open weight models, ablated models are going to become the norm, hopefully, locally run.

So instead, they're saying, look, hardware should become hard to reach for all of us, for the consumers.It's not because we're competing for resources for the same silicon or chips as they are.The ship has sailed thankfully.

What about sourcing the asset itself? It's like a factory is it not?

You pay for the asset (tenancy in a data center) and then you pay for housing, powering, cooling, etc.

>Do you know how hard it is to sleep when all you can hear is your own heartbeat? Do you know how hard it is to function with four effective hours of sleep when you offer your body ten? It is rough.

This hits home. It's both a shame and infuriating what's happening in the market right now. One (unsolicited) piece of advice I would give to anyone impacted is to build their own shit. If these companies stop paying for your lunch, then eat their fucking lunch with the same gimmicks they convinced themselves are adequate to stop paying for your lunch.

I'm not just talking about the enterprise giants - build competing products , lower their margins build similar products and offer them for less. Cut out the middle-men. They might have the contract now but their operating costs are higher. In the long run they are uncompetitive.

Importantly, how are we doing in terms of coverage? Are we seeing the sky enough and clearly enough to have a few years worth of warning before we get dinosaur-ed?

I figured the experts here would care to express an opinion.

6 days late but I'd suggest both. If you want people to use the website make the SVGs available so that people add them in their reports etc.

You don't have to downvote me. I am genuinely interested in the impact. I just want to learn.

Speaking of DCs, is there evidence that they are sucking up water? What about deteriorating air quality around the buildings? Could they be causing major environmental issues? It seems they mostly have closed loop systems a la CPU coolers and they consume a lot of electricity that's already been earmarked for them. What about air quality and air humidity?

Are you considering making all charts extractable? So if I wanted to use a chart I could?

Also, it seems like a RAG on top of an LLM. Is that right?

The reason is annoying to type is that they prefer you say it out loud, not because they can't provide a better ui.
