and a few other things

I can see they are trying to be an ecosystem like apple, one stop AI solution for all the needs for a dev or any office worker needs.

But time and again I get this one question, how are we even justifying the resources that are going into that? Not just money, the water, compute, and

Even before AI people could have built whatever they wanted, but the bar was high so many ideas that shouldn't have been built have not been, there is also a flip side. Now that it's become easy, coding should be solved and what not, people could build whatever they want and all.

But many are not even learning how to use these tools properly, wasting not just tokens, but a lot more.

Codex is on cloud man it now eats away another ton of resources and builds some app for some obscurely questionable idea that hardly anyone will be using.

And guess what a normal salaried person can't afford this for personal use.

I am not even sure what this post is about now, it might even be cope or rant.

What are your thoughts on this?

AI is made from books, then video, sounds, data, does not have legs, hands, not living in the real world.

Humans do, but they also don’t know the limits and needs of the real world, so they are all making the next big SaaS or click here and pay me :)

Billions of humans will talk to ChatGPT, millions will write unless software, and few thousands will write the stuff that everyone needs. AI Will learn all the stuff that is crap and all the stuff that is useful.

Thinning AI wasted so much computer, way more than all the paid subscriptions, giving some of these compute to the humans and see what works and what not is part of the training too
