    One is a deterministic machine on your desk, that you own, to do stuff at your desk.

    The other is a nondeterministic thing somewhere else, that you don’t own, to do stuff at your desk.

      That’s really an argument against all cloud services, and not LLMs. Although most people do LLMs in the cloud.

      And I absolutely agree with the argument. It’s insane to me how much companies will put in someone else’s hands.

        It is an argument against the false comparison I was responding to, no more. Although the fact AI companies can’t seem to create a profitable or finished product even with subsidies, points to other issues I have not addressed

            I was talking about a false dichotomy (before the person I replied to edited their comment to save face)

            what are you talking about

              You people are like flat earthers with this AI hatred.

              It’s genuinely fascinating and useful. You’re allowed to hate the companies and evil behind it, but the kid in me is still enthralled by this technology.

              It’s just getting weird at this point.

                I’m pretty sure the reason tech employees hate it so much is because it’s an existential threat to their profession. If it wasn’t, they wouldn’t spend so much time talking about it.
