"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I think this comes down to the usual capex vs opex situation. Anyone who has bought a car or a house is familiar with this problem. Should you buy something crazy expensive that costs much less to maintain? Should you buy something cheap that will drive you crazy and cost you a fortune in the long run?

I would expect that, companies prefer to spend 5 hours on making a whole bunch of code that will require 1000 hours of maintenance within the next 2 years. At least that’s the exact philosophy I followed when buying my first cars.
