"But we bought too many GPUs! We spent billions on infrastructure! They have to be put to work!"
right... none of them are saying that. They could probably use more GPUs considering the price of GPUs and memory are skyrocketing and the supply chain can't keep up. It's about experimentation, they need real users and real feedback to know how to improve the current generation of models, and figure out how to monetise them.
The comment I’m replying to is an example of one hallucination. Specifically that AI is being pushed because companies have too many GPUs when in reality they have too little. There are several other hallucinations in this thread.
This will need a separate blog post But when you give something for free, then you will run out of that resource. So yes, companies have too little GPUs to give their services for free, but too many GPUs for their paid services.
Just to be clear, are you asserting that every opinion in this thread that you don't agree with is due to the poster hallucinating, or only specific ones?
Do you have any evidence or well established theory to back up this rather extraordinary claim?
Because if you are honestly positing that numerous people around the world are literally hallucinating despise (statistically) not being under medical supervision, presumably continuing to drive, work, and make decisions, that would be a pretty urgent global health phenomenon that you really should be chasing up.
And at some point, the authorities best placed to deal with this hitherto unseen mass incapacitation might reasonably ask: what are the chances that multiple unrelated people around the world are experiencing such localised, hugely specific breaks from reality causing them to express reasonably common opinions on an internet forum, rather than the inconsistency being on the end of this one person who doesn't agree with them?
