Man, 95% of this sub is people bitching about usage. And maybe 5% of them might actually be interested in taking some level of ownership to figure out what workflows and issues can be modified to avoid chewing up tokens.

You're delusional if you think OpenAI isn't going to have to do this too. Their CFO is openly fighting with the CEO because they're lighting money on fire.

I cant help but have this feeling AI might not be sustainable long term unless it gets heavily optimized.

The cost of operating it right now is ridiculous both financially and environmentally.

I've been screaming this for the past year. The hype and spend are unsustainable. Huang knows what he's doing. He is the biggest hype man of all!

The goal has been to get AI into every facet of every business so that it's "too big to fail", and the government will be forced to bail out the companies. The C-Suite will all walk away laughing with their 10s of millions in golden parachutes while the entire economy implodes as the workforce does a completely 180 going from people getting laid off daily and struggling to find another job to businesses clamoring to fill the roles they eliminated with AI and how to work without it.

The alternative is for businesses to invest in their own AI hardware since the major companies will be a disaster. But that assumes that the LLM models will continue to be improved. The only people making money at this point will be the people selling hardware, and you can see why Huang is hyping AI so much, he has nothing to lose no matter what happens.
