<p>I think its all a reflection of the price.  To make AI/LLM's useful you have to burn A LOT of tokens.  Way more than people are willing to pay for.<p>Until there is either more capacity or some efficiency breakthroughs the only way for providers to cut costs is to make the product worse.</p>

<p>>DevOps won't want to support it? Burn down the company<p>Still true but you seem to blame the ops.  I've been in a job where every dept was allowed free for all tech budgets.  They would hire incompetent consultants to dump 3000hrs of work on devops then do it again next week and complain about how devops never gets anything done.  Then 5 other departments would do the same thing.<p>You know how 99% of the work is in that last 5% of the project. Thats how all those consultants would leave everything.</p>

<p>This is really cool.  It reminded me of my first thought for an AI app was a No-Interface crm/order system. I was talking to my bro in sales and all he ever does is complain about what a pain computers are.  This takes that idea to the next level.<p>llms were not quite there at the time maybe ill revisit.</p>

<p>That does make sense and I'm also certain will happen.  I'm just saying that at this point NVIDIA is all in on "AI" so it has no choice.  It will abandon its original customer base and product.<p>I don't think there will ever be a hard announcement.  Just one day people will start asking when the next GPU line is coming out and it will never come. They won't even plan it they simply won't have the skills to do GPU design anymore.</p>

<p>>most people belive<p>Instead of chastising people with another guess you could find the source.  The founders of blockbuster knew it would eventually fail.  Short version, they knew once people watched the huge initial backlog revenues would plummet.  The plan was to build everywhere and capture that initial high income. Afterwords, well whatever.<p>Built to Fail: The Inside Story of Blockbuster's Inevitable Bust</p>

<p>You are underestimating just how many people that are out there that want free long distances calls lol.  I worked at a phone company and this was a never ending persistent security issue.  There are lots of tricky ways to get someone to pay for your long distance call.  If the pay phone was free then the local provider would be on the hook for those calls.<p>Just block long distance calls right?  If it was that simple it would not be a persistent issue.</p>
