If you make something cheap, then it will be cheap.

LLMs may set a record for time between specialized/luxury goods and commodity.

There may be a price floor, but it's not very high.

In My Opinion.

Ever think about why restaurants pay someone to wash the dishes?

In my house, I have a machine that does that.

In a restaurant, the machine is too slow, and not compatible with the rest of the system of the restaurant.

Until we hit singularity, AI has to be compatible with the rest of the system.

You have to live in the world that you create.

Companies aren't monoliths, they're made of teams.

Big companies are made of teams of teams.

The little teams don't really get to make purchasing decisions.

If there's a free alternative, little teams just have to suck it up and try to make it work.

Also consider that many of these expenses are born by the 'cost center' side of the house, that is, the people who don't make money for the company.

If you work in a cost center, the name of the game is saving money by cutting expenses.

If technology goes into the actual product, the cost for that is accounted for differently.

My best understanding/explanation of LLM tools is "plausible extension of a context"

That is, you have some context, ie the prompt and any other text, and the LLM produces a plausible continuation or alteration of that prompt and text.

My intuition leads me to a thought like: To progress, the context must compress into a fractal representation.

I feel very confident that someone smarter and MUCH better paid than me is already working on this.
