I wasted many hours this weekend chatting with ai, so I did my business in excel using https://udm14.com/ to find relevant pages "old school". AI slops out fast.

Really seems that this entire industry has been told it will get a MASSIVE bailout. And with Fink basically confirming so means, Hillary was right? Trump is a tyrannus dictator?

My 2 cents is in 3 years the inference products will be a commodity, extremely competitive with diminishing returns, seeing that the open weight models are getting so good and nearing par with sota.

I feel 90% of sota for 10% of cost / compute is good enough for 80% of workloads.

Question is, do we need all of this hardware? Are build outs going to get canceled. 4300 new data centers seems excessive. I personally haven't experienced any service disruptions...

Does Microsoft still have 1 million gpu's in storage? Is that what I heard earlier this year?

As models gain efficiency, will the need for ram cool?

So does this mean all of the ram I've got piled up in a box is not worthless anymore?

Small team, cheap electricity, very efficient models. Many western companies operate at a loss to gain market share. Why can't the Chinese?

I remember playing around with Writesonic in my days of spammy seo tactics (some of my products weren't allowed on marketplaces & advertising platforms due to hazmat products so..). Often times I would see my own product descriptions nearly verbatim in the output.

100% creators should get compensated by ai platforms for their work.

Further, I can see a day where someone like Reddit will close off or license their data to llms. No doubt they are losing traffic right now.

I had a free 3 month trial I just terminated. I deemed it too expensive.

Does Claude turn out to be what 'Quantum' was promised; crack bitcoin? This could be fun.

I think it would be interesting, once the dust has settled, to do a compare with a less expensive model (time, capital, compute) such as deepseek 4.

My AI use is significantly down. I'm sick of following Chat GPT "advise" only to learn how egregiously incorrect it is. Don't ask for DMV advice on registering an out of state car!

It would be nice to kick google to the curb. I hope this product matures.
