All that electricity ain't free, and the TechBros sure don't want to pay the light bill. It's not good enough that LLMs and their successors be useful and successful. Unless they change the whole economy, lots of somebodies have been burning trillions of dollars.

Asking, because I have not come across "extra payment for unrequested AI" yet. -

Its effectively a stochastic ponzii scheme where instead of being spent they just turn the money directly into entropy to noise-up all knowledge. It might genuinely ha:e been more productive to light it all on fire.

That is the end game of AI. They are free now as they are in disruption and growth phase with lots of competition. But in a few years most will have gone bust or been acquired until only 2-3 remain. Society will become dependent on them, and then they will roll out expensive subscriptions.

Asking, because I have not come across "extra payment for unrequested AI" yet.OneDrive: we are putting up the price of our family plan significantly.
Also one drive: look at all the new AI stuff we have added to your plan
(Also OneDrive: yes your 6 person plan is for sharing but you can't share the new stuff we've added to your sharing plan)

That's why I think is important to find a way to "community" train models, so there's always a free open source alternative.

Unless we get Mad Max instead.. I'm still really hopeful for mutually assured Destruction! Dystopian LamePunk isn't a future I'm onboard with.

Marketing, that's all it is. Companies know how to make ads convincing you that you need their product.

Too bad they have forgotten how to make good products.

This is by design in the current situation. Why make one good product when you can sell a mediocre product every year. Unfortunately everyone is doing this so you have no choice and zero competition.
