<p>I'm as antiAI as many. And this isn't a great example, but there's can be value added in both the context and the prompt. E.g:<p>"I recall topic X being related to fact Y.<p>Chatgpt says this when asked about how Y relates to X<p>"blablabla"<p>"</p>

<p>Is that 100M of openrouter revenue? Or money that flows through openrouter? If the latter, 100M$ annualized looks like very little.  It's as if a bank said that it has 100M$ of annual transfers, instead of 100M in revenue from bank fees and such.<p>Hard to think of any type of company that can do the topline meme as effectively as a compute aggregator proxy. Almost like a bitcoin pool mining company counting their shared miners.<p>Really? 100M annual? That HAS to be profit, it can't be this crazy.<p>EDIT: From their website, they say they have 200T monthly tokens, at 10 cents per M token ( optimistic average between free tokens and expensive tokens) that's 20M$/month, which is roughly 240M$.<p>Bonus track: here's chatgpt completely fumbling the above very simple calculation<p><a href="https://chatgpt.com/share/6a85f831-9118-83e9-8a06-d32195c557f2" rel="nofollow">https://chatgpt.com/share/6a85f831-9118-83e9-8a06-d32195c557...</a><p>I don't doubt the chinese bootleg product that openrouter is peddling is even worse than that.<p>We are in a bubble confirmed.<p>Sorry for the negativity, but this is highly bearish news.</p>

<p>An conscientious objection is definitely a right you have as a professional, but it's a neutral action, you refuse to do something, and you let someone else do it. If you really are against it, you actively do something about it, like presenting a law or making a criminal complaint.<p>That said, they are both compatible, you can refuse to do something, and make efforts so that nobody does it.<p>But I think the the latter is the actual core security model of our society, and refusals aren't really effective to the point that I wouldn't worry much about it and just focus on compartimentalizing and executing on my duties. Isn't it theoretically possible that upper management divides duties so that engineers cannot accurately judge the ethical correctness of the task and the overall mission? As an individual you don't have the right tools to make such an evaluation. You can be pushed to investigate further, but the moment you do so, you cease your role as an engineer and put your citizen hat on.<p>I personally wouldn't object on most cases, my threshold would be very high, a database of people's sexuality is not even close to even being concerning to me, that's like a Wikipedia infobox property. But even if it were a feature that did concern me, like a citizen-ID to real time coordinates system, I wanna be at the helm of it, either way (if I get the privilege). If something is wrong, I'd be in a privileged position to do something about it internally, judicially or through congress, there's also whistleblowing if it comes to that, but that's not in me.</p>

<p>is the infrastructure of the free tier shared with that of paid users? That might be the issue. Otherwise if usage of paid users scales, then it would be fine.</p>

<p>>the compute cost still scales O(n²) for n tokens,<p>That is never the cost, it's a common misconception.<p>Cost scales linearly per tokens. Unless you are sending one token at a time and avoiding using the same machine or cache.<p>Just look at api charges, they are charged by token, not by token squared.</p>

<p>No, because they are cached, the inference cost is paid once per model, does not scale linearly per user or use.</p>

<p>Fine tuning isn't the same and doesn't have the same effect as selecting input tokens.<p>Does there exist a model X that behaves exactly as a model Y with context Z? Maybe, but it's not trivial to achieve and might possibly be convoluted and more expensive.</p>

<p>Cached.<p>they are the first part of the input and it contains no user dependent variables, so the model is in a known state that it can reuse across all users, it does not need to recompute all that inference</p>

<p>Does zsh have that 2000 command limit by default?<p>You can't expect much from a system that has those defaults, I'm all for traditions, but if I were to depend on a system for command history, it wouldn't be anything that reads a bash_history, a revolution is needed, not incremental optimizations<p>P.s: what I do is set it to unlimited on both size and line count, but it's not a forensic grade audit trace, we'd need an OS, or ssh command logger, preferably one that writes to an external disk, but it can be to a root controlled file, definitely not to a user owned file.<p>Security protects not only against attackers, but against bugs, a user's command history should not be deletable by user. Anything else is a wrong architecture that we are just carrying by inertia and laziness.</p>
