    If you run your own AI and watch how long it takes, how much it runs up the resources for a few seconds, then you might get an idea of what it’s like hosting at least three copies of a multi-terabyte LLM, in memory, with much shorter response and a much bigger knowledge base (Gemini by Google), taking millions of prompts per minute. Then think of every company that’s hosting major public AI services.

    Then remember that the only things good that come out of AI are natural language inference for voice commands and slightly improved developer processes.

    Hosting it is just a reminder of the rapid environmental, ecological and cultural destruction that is the AI bubble.

    In summary: Perhaps, if the hoster wants it for streamlining their dev process. Otherwise it can be replaced with a far more efficient standard algorithmic program, which is what we had before.

      AI can be used for some really cool scientific and medical purposes, but the shit being offered commercially ain’t it bruh. I’m sickened by the recent development. It’s a scam and a long con. Might not even pass as a long con.

      I’m loving the YouTube accounts that have come up where they ridicule the ineptitude of AI chat bots. Hilarious stuff.
