There was a lot less competition in the digital entertainment industry back then. Nowadays you still have AAA games going for $80 in a much more crowded market.

No, that's still AI in today's sense, just not an LLM.

Look at a 100 year purchasing power chart of USD, doesn't look very healthy...

Do you also make this clarification whenever Bank of America is mentioned, such that no one is confusing it with the FED?

$1000 is for the NAS, they still need to populate it with a couple of drives.

Good question. The issue is probably more subtle: are the intended management controls working and doing their job?

It's not copyright that caused cheap access. The printing machine allowed for cheaper publications, that's what spawned the new age of knowledge. The raw materials and the duplication of knowledge was the bottleneck. With digital systems this cost is minuscule, but still there.

Maybe the bots already ate up Ally's Q3 campaign budget?

Maybe for ad attribution, when they inject campaign tracking information into the results and whatever LLM frontend presents them to an actual user and it results in a click, they could claim that the ad spend caused this click. If they inject the ad into the training data, it's harder to convince the ad campaign manager to spend more, because of missing ad attribution.

Sure, negative clearing prices indicate overproduction. Thus producer should lower their output and not destroy the output. I know that from a finance perspective, it could make sense to destroy some products instead of lowering prices, but from a human perspective that sounds so stupid, especially if you consider food or livestock!

Or (c) lower the price to the market clearing price point and your clothes will be gone.

Those $9B are created the same way as when the stock would have risen. That's how most of the wealth in the stock market is created nowadays.

New comment by nairboon in "Can LLMs Perform Deep Technical Comprehension of Computer Architecture Papers"

No, I don't think OP's comment is useless. It's not just a blanket statement, "Wow, LLM's quick", but also critically reflective, like a brief limitations section. This opens the discussion, by indirectly posing questions like, "Is it really this fast or "cheating"? How could we measure this experimentally? Etc.
