As I was using LLMs at work (I never use LLMs for personal projects), a question occurred to me:
What in the fuck are these new data centers supposed to actually do?
The enterprise users are all in on having LLMs write 300% of the code. And yet, both OpenAI and Anthropic are still giving these “$200 gets you $10 000 in API costs” subscriptions to every victim of AI psychosis.
Why do we have RAM, hard disk, SSD, GPU and CPU shortages and no “token shortage”?
I mean, we all know the answer, these are the offerings for the robot god, but like how in the fuck are they still obtaining loans for this shit?
Seems like a bit of an overkill.
Also to be honest an AI surveillance state seems like a rather silly thing. Those ratting you out have to be your co-workers, your neighbors, your friends, better yet, your family.
Automating that out is sort of like digging out belamorkanal with a robotic digger. The canal isn’t the thing. The thing is making people dig it - and making other people decide who digs.
