You could probably serve 100k visitors from a $5 VPS, depending on the application.
That said, I understand people are paying for basically not having to think about infrastructure, and agree that that's theoretically worth money, if they could do it well.
I don't think the above poster is talking about finding novel treatments, but rather that they're talking about aiding in diagnosis and navigating existing treatment options.
We always wish that our doctors would stay up to date on all of the current medical literature as they practice, and some of them do. In theory, AI systems could greatly accelerate a person's ability to retrieve and extract insights from the current body of knowledge.
Of course, that is highly fraught, but, in theory, I think I see what they're going for.
Speaking in terms of GW makes sense when we are discussing performance of an individual datacenter since power is, kind of, the limiting factor.
Also, FLOPs per watt hasn't changed as much lately, so thinking in terms of watts over a few-year time horizon does at least give you a ballpark of how many FLOPs.
If you're talking about a chip, you obviously want to know about FLOPs moreso, but, even down to the level of individual rack-units, wattage is a serious concern. Not every facility is built for these crazy 200kW racks.
Yeah, I get that. But using something that should be on the "costs" side of the ledger as your metric still seems fraught. It feels like another LOC trap.
This is essentially a smarter auto-clicker. I'm not sure I'd call it "reverse engineering".
A TOS/CSA should in no way ever attempt to prohibit automation, and if it does, it (generally) deserves to be disrespected.
There is a legitimate concern however about customer resource use escalating beyond what was expected when the price was set. Luckily this can be written as a simple black and white determination without any complicated gray areas, and is therefore easily enforced both in the code and in the contract.
Because I'm actually curious if they mean "new" as in "a new knock-knock joke" (which imo is a quite small step especially if you are allowed to screen all attempts and only publish the ones that work) or as "a new kind of joke or way of telling a joke" (which is a giant step especially if it's told live without pre-screening by a human).
I'm all for dismissing LLMs and the AI-hype but I'm also interested in trying to understand what it means to be human and I think humour is a key aspect.
You could reduce your labor costs and reduce the aggravation you are causing teammates if you changed your attitude.
It's possible to drive results and create a culture of accountability without dragging people into the room with you just so you can interrupt their work in-person.
