    It’s like they prefer to build models that use more resources, cost more money to develop, and work worse than simple solutions we’ve been using since the dawn of personal computing. The value in machine learning is doing things we couldn’t do before, or doing things more efficiently. Unfortunately, the nobility in our society are too out of touch to pull that off.

        If they were just greedy and self centered, they’d be able to use it to actually benefit them. Instead they’re burning money they stole from us as a sacrifice to a machine god who they believe can accomplish economic impossibilities. They’re living in fantasy land because they have more wealth than sense.

      this is why i like “only small on-device models” as a general rule of thumb.

      if you can train it yourself then it’s probably a perfectly reasonable use case for machine learning
