Extremely interesting… so the depreciation of older models is extreme, while new models are constantly presented. And all the while no AI company is making any profit. This whole story is bonkers

The catch is

the cost of a given level of AI performance

And more interestingly the article itself says this

And to this extent, when comparing price drops for AI to drops for other technologies for which we have price series, we are comparing apples and oranges.

Even then, they decided to make it the headline. This is just like LLM bros doing things they don't know anything about. Absolute garbage.

Hadn't you heard? Some day, one of these things is gonna cure cancer. We all just gotta kill ourselves subsidizing it until then!
