By questions I was referring to my sentences that ended up with a question mark that you ignored several comments back. None of them were rhetorical.
AI companies can barely meet current demand. I don't know why you think all the demand is hypothetical but that's on you.
Good luck, you'll need it.
Also, you think you need Claude to do ctrl-f? No wonder you have such a visceral reaction to the idea of placing limits on LLM resource usage.
You appear to suffer from a cognitive dissonance so severe that you’re no longer able to understand the concept of time or numbers. Or even the difference between all and some.
Much of the resources being seized by these companies aren’t being used to serve live requests yet. Your claim that it’s serving current demand is a logical impossibility. It’s future demand.
And you refuse to even contemplate this at all, but what on earth justifies depriving people of resources they need to live? People being denied access to everything from RAM, electricity, natural resources, land, and money has consequences. But the only thing you’ve shown care for is the interest of LLM providers. You lash out against any criticism of their actions by calling people mental over and over.
You need a good hard look at yourself in the mirror, because that behavior is beyond unacceptable.
Exactly. You made my point. Thank you!
> And you refuse to even contemplate this at all, but what on earth justifies depriving people of resources they need to live?
Hyperbole strawman alarmist BS.
> Consider this before you post the same insult again.
I didn't insult your poor mental health. I just pointed out you should seek help.
You win! By ignoring, denying, and downplaying everything that contradicts you. This is just pathetic.
> Hyperbole strawman alarmist BS.
Then why were you so reluctant to say that much earlier on? Because even under heavy cognitive dissonance, you instinctively understood that this topic is too well documented that it makes you look out of touch. Like, tell me where I can get affordable RAM right now?
> I didn't insult your poor mental health. I just pointed out you should seek help.
It's a sign of immaturity to call people mental over and over. And saying "I didn't use those exact words" makes it all the more so. Everybody that I grew up with stopped doing that by the time they got to high school. At least stop doing that to yourself, for your own sake.
It's supply and demand. Would you prefer communism or some sort of market intervention? (That is not a rhetorical question by the way, I know that confuses you.) I'm not sure what you are even suggesting. Yeah I don't like that RAM is more expensive either but... You just have to deal with it for now. I'm sorry your MacBook was $200 more than usual.
> It's a sign of immaturity to call people mental over and over.
First of all I never called you mental and second of all you are the one who brought up depression first. It seemed like you were struggling.
> Sorry, I don't understand what is the "hypothetical demand" you identified in my comment you replied to? ... If you think that is BS and its all hypothetical, you quite simply just don't know what you are talking about.
"You quite simply just don't know what you are talking about" is not a question. It's denial of a very real issue. It's no secret that Anthropic and co. are currently depriving others of resources based on speculative future demand, threatening human extinction if they don't have their way. How much imaginary future demand justifies such deprivation? At that point, who is all of this even for?
Or by "question," are you referring to this:
> Just seems like you wanted to find a way to bring this back to a previous bubble and call me a scammer simply for not being anti-AI.
The exact same straw man rephrased, also not a question.
> You are just letting emotion control you
Says the person repeatedly calling people mental.
> I was calling you a literal bot for bringing up politics out of nowhere
The insane amount of resources being allocated to LLM datacenters was one of the deciding factors in the outcome of the election. People wanted change, the precise thing you accused me of being against. You invited that discussion.
Furthermore, you call me a "bot" for bringing up this point, saying it's "irrelevant." Calling that dismissal of human suffering for what it is isn't "extrapolation."
