What does it mean to be ‘in intelligence’ in this context?

This is a bucket of slop.

What is wrong with you. This isn’t a customer/employee thing at all. That’s, like, the entire point of Burning Man.

“Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.” —Jobs

Of course. My point is that your profit still decreases as you approach max usage, ceteris parabis. It may be acceptable but it is less. Your costs are variable and your revenue is fixed (at least on a unit basis).

Within each tier, each marginal token is an expense with no marginal revenue to offset. So yes. The platonic ideal for any subscription business model is zero usage.

Not when their customers are paying a flat rate subscription.

100%. Trump’s going to do his tariff thing and we all understand that. But the sovereignty threats were an outrage, and most of the Canadian response is motivated by a sense of deep betrayal.

Please say more; this is breaking my brain.

Yea. It’s greed, pure and simple. And also a major misstep on the part of the inference providers to offer these subsidized plans and not anticipate these slop mills.

That as well. But everyone reading GP’s posts knows in their bones that it’s unsustainable. It’s economically unsustainable and environmentally unsustainable, and in that context it strikes me as pure hoarding behaviour. Taking as much as they can for themselves before the house of cards crashes down.

I have no sympathy for OpenAI or Anthropic as corporations, but if these are the new tools of the trade, then platform abuse like GP is bragging about serves only to destroy the livelihoods of the rest of us who are content to use our fair share.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch, and the bill always comes at the end.

I’m vague on a specific reason for this feeling because there are a few to choose from and no one overpowers the other, but the emotion that comes to mind when I read this is disgust. As a society I feel we will look back on the subsidized opulence of this moment with total and utter contempt.

This is such obvious LLM slop.

Huh? If I need 10 bananas and my local shop only has 5 bananas available I need to go to multiple stores to satisfy my ravenous banana craving.

Pay no mind to this miserable mob. You do good work. It’s thorough and balanced. They don’t realize it because they don’t actually read anything you write.

Many of them might have been troubled by the fact that they couldn’t afford a tractor. Many small farms became a few big ones, and so it will go in software.

First of all, you and me, start workin’ at the bank

Now I’m curious, are there any manufacturers still making repairable cars?

Tailscale is based in Toronto I believe.

You also get to run both systems on bare metal. Nothing wrong with this.

The overwhelming consensus of both the scientific community and the medical community was clear as crystal, and in retrospect, correct. There were plenty of doctors speaking up; there was only one side of this argument that was too busy throwing paint at ER nurses to listen.

I think we agree but those heuristics… That is the scientific method. That’s all we got.

There’s a difference between questioning the status quo and spreading obvious misinformation. Did the vaccine save lives? Yes. Did misinformation about the vaccine cost lives? Yes it did.

On matters of science the scientists decide which is which.

Most of which had, in fact, no basis in truth. So no that’s nothing like the Mexican election.

The incubation period is 4-14 days, and in rare cases up to 45 days. So it would seem to pose one of the problems you identified.

This. Mark Zuckerberg is uniquely responsible for this. World went to shit when he figured out how profitable it was to platform outrage.
