I am wondering, is the path big AI corps are going with providing models via huge server farms quite opposing capitalism?
Normally costs run down over time (see solar or microchips). LLMs get smaller and suddenly they fit on your device.
I checked OVH cloud for their offerings of cloud models. They all fit on a 64gb strix halo, probably even 32gb ram. The SOTA models still have an edge, but honestly not much.
@made We're well into post-capitalism.
The economy no longer runs on the principle of being profitable because you can make a better product for a cheaper price.
It's all financial wizardry now, moving money around and taking a little cut off it every time it's moved in a circle. Products are no longer needed as anything more than an excuse for why money is moved.
Which is how wealth is slowly transferred from the people to the parasite class.
