"Prediction" is hardly more than another term for inference. It's the very essence of machine learning. There is nothing new or useful in this concept.

There was this BusinessWeek cover about OOP, almost 35 years ago: https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!diR3!,f_auto,q_auto:...

Of course. The whole study is about cities, even the first sentences already make this very clear. It has nothing to do with normal gardens, nothing _at all_.

I said backyard, not some urban garden.

I don‘t think so. My impression with LLMs is that they correct typos well. I would imagine this happens in early layers without much impact on the remaining computation.

Well, that could be an additional problem. My point was not that AI will necessarily be cheaper to run than $200, but that there is not much profit to be made. Of course the cost o…

Charging $200/month is economically only possible if there is not a true market for LLMs or some sort of monopoly power. Currently there is no evidence that this will be the case. …
