Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Can someone explain why I am being downvoted and attacked in this thread? I swear I am not sealioning. Genuinely confused.

@sc_griffith@awful.systems asked how request frequency might impact cost per request. Batch inference is a reason (ask anyone in the self-hosted LLM community). I noted that this reason only applies at very small scale, probably much smaller than what ~~Open~~AI is operating at.

@dgerard@awful.systems why did you say I am demanding someone disprove the assertion? Are you misunderstanding "I would be very very surprised if they couldn't fill [the optimal batch size] for any few-seconds window" to mean "I would be very very surprised if they are not profitable"?

The tweet I linked shows that good LLMs can be much cheaper. I am saying that ~~Open~~AI is very inefficient and thus economically "cooked", as the post title will have it. How does this make me FYGM? @froztbyte@awful.systems
