i was _very_ surprised by that number as well. 10s for inference on 300 chars? using an entire A100 GB GPU? that does not make any sense. OpenAI and other companies would NEVER be able to scale to 100s of millions of users if that was the real number, right?

I'd rather see those people using their time hiking mountains, watching tv shows, doing arts... than go spend their day at a useless job that will make them feel unhappy because of the lack of accomplishment.

Berkshire Hathaway has 25 office staff: http://www.businessinsider.fr/us/berkshire-hathaway-omaha-of...

"It's well-known that Berkshire Hathaway keeps a small headquarters with these 25 staffers, who manage some of the most important affairs of this $329 billion company."

I don't think you need that many people to manage $6.3 billions.

Also, I worked at a hedge fund managing $12 billions and we were ~150 (but this is a completely different job than what staffers at Stanford or Berkshire Hathaway are doing)

Have you considered the possibility that this blog article was reviewed by legal experts before being posted? I don't know of course but that's a possibility.
