<p>Many crypto algorithms have formal proofs that they are reductions of hard problems like factorization. Those problems may not be solvable, only brute forcible. Some could be eventually solved, but the likelihood of every single one being solvable is unlikely.</p>

<p>I wonder if giving the models context of the temperature of its past generations would help here. Like a thinking mode that deliberately has a section that is high temperature, while the rest is lower.</p>

<p>Minecraft started on Java, a massive mod and server community created around it. Consoles won't run JIT/JVM/Java, so the Bedrock C++ version was created. People don't want to give up the massive mod community, so OG pc players stay on Java, while console players and newer PC players go to bedrock (with some of those PC players jumping over to Java after servers or mods are discovered).<p>They almost have feature parity, but there are some small differences around the edges. There exists modded server options for enabling bedrock and java users to connect to the same server.</p>

<p>The subscription is certainly subsidized but its no where near 100x cheaper than API prices.<p>Heck, most large enterprise moved to usage based billing and are still happily paying for it. They are force multipliers for your top talent, and when a top engineer is being paid $500k a year, doubling their output for $500/day is a no brainer.</p>

<p>The property a home sits on and the property a car sits on would depreciate the same.<p>But in reality neither has to depreciate, just stop growing at these insane rates.  Below the cost of inflation, until the average worker can afford a home again.</p>

<p>I think it speaks to the unfamiliarity the author has with the workings of AI. A misunderstanding of the latent space and how it can generate bizzare images when it has little to go off of or inverse negative directions.</p>

<p>There are dozens of other surface factors beyond external user interfaces that are vulnerable to prompt injection.<p>It's pretty common where I'll point Claude to a source code to better understand how to integrate a project. For example I've having it look through <a href="https://github.com/mcallegari/qlcplus" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mcallegari/qlcplus</a> right not to build out  the rather tedious process of mapping out a controller to the lights.<p>I don't give Claude all access but it certainly can cause some level of havoc even with the relatively save edit mode.<p>Now, there is a similar risk existing running any open source project's code, but putting code that harms people's computers is clearly against the terms of GitHub, and is quickly condemned. This should be too.</p>

<p>> Should you pay your roofer less because he uses a hammer instead of his bare hands?<p>Yes. Effective tools increase the supply of roofs made. More supply means lower prices per roof. But because the same number of roofs need to get worked on, the increase in roofs per roofer means less roofers will be needed.</p>

<p>Problem with that website/perspective is separating training costs from inference costs. Training is a one time cost, and while it is certainly not something you can completely ignore, it being one time changes the answer to "Is AI profitable?".<p>That site doesn't list the dozens of companies doing pure inference, and making a profit while doing so.</p>
