Comment on The air begins to leak out of the overinflated AI bubble

  Are you talking specifically about LLMs or Neural Network style AI in general? Super computers have been doing this sort of stuff for decades without much problem, and tbh the main issue is on training for LLMs inference is pretty computationally cheap

    Idk if I’d point at a supercomputer system and suggest it was constructed “without much problem”. Cray has significantly lagged the computer market as a whole.

    Again, I would not consider anything in the LLM marketplace particularly cheap. Seems like they’re losing money rapidly.
