I sure belive that at the moment each big tech ai provider has it's black pr budget for propaganda, influcencing influencers, comments factories, FOMO spin doctors etc. In the meantime wise heads counted that unless they (AI providers) provide like couple times more of real profit it will all collapse, thus next level is IPOing to buy more time.

At this year Davos it was said in open text: big LLM supplieers & labs don't have enough demand to have profit that will cover spending. They must compete and provide supply because who win race will get most of the rewards. Geopolitics makes this even worse. So they are over leveraged and now time is running out before house of cards will collapse. All the hype and paid marketing is target to make masses (and more important people who make decisions) believe their story and buy into it. I assume for a person without technical background it's hard to filter signal from noise. It's all about that is hard to see that LLMs are what they are because "they" make great illusion of intelligence and illusion of novel thinking when it fact they just do the math with big text database.

True, I've experimented with generating cards but was't happy with it, definitely worth checking with newer models and multimodality :-)

There is a limit of how much time You can spend on repetition daily and how much cards brain is able to remember. Preparing cards is big overhead, using cards by other people usually is not recommended.

Many cuts at the moment are done to increase share price, because its being enforced by shareholders.
