    If it’s going to make LLMs it’s not as useful as the other things I listed. Paying a bunch of software engineers $300k each to work on LLM nonsense instead of something useful is a shame. Sure, the money isn’t set on fire, but the opportunity cost is large.

      I mean… A lot of the money is being spent on compute, which is just consuming electricity, which is many times made from coal or gas. So a lot literally is on fire.

      Your confusing fact with opinion.

      Factually yes it’s useful to the company.

      Your opinion is that the usefulness doesn’t justify it and this isn’t useful.

      The real question is, is it useful enough. Which is likely no.

        That’s at least 3 "your"s in this thread when it should be “you’re”. If you’re wondering why you’re getting down voted…
