and we are fast approaching limits which will be hard to overcome - electricity, chips

as Jensen said, get ready for $1000 per mil token

those for which this price makes sense will push out those for which it doesn't - to lower models or to local models

but those who want to run local models need to compete for hardware with the data centers, which have strong scale effects thus will always be able to out price local hardware allocations - can already be seen now as hardware makers get out of retail business

but ignoring that, serializable isolation level means the database acts AS IF the transactions are serial. but most databases in fact will execute them concurently, with careful tracking to make sure they appear serial

pick one:

- stupid people vote without understanding what they vote for

- stupid people don't vote, but it's not a democracy anymore

Sure, sometimes it's too slow, but it should be the default.

Very few people can write correct database code at the other serialization levels. Most think they can, but it's harder than correct multi-threading, because databases do weird unintuitive things for performance.
