Saw a great toot yesterday.

Startups and media business are looking to make a windfall on AI generated art, music, code, writing, and other services. The payment models will be subscriptions, pay per use, and other models that make more money the more content is produced.

But there's still no AI (with associated mechanics) that can fold laundry.

(I think the latter would be really useful.)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Kind of. They all run Stable Diffusion because they released fully open source. There’s still competitive advantage to owning, training, and gatekeeping access to models. MidJourney and DallE are both superior to Stable Diffusion along many axes. Monetizing models is tricky because it’s so cheap to run locally but so expensive in the cloud. Except if you release your model such that it can run locally all advantage i…

Why is it expensive to run in the cloud and cheap to run on a device? 1. Commodity hardware can do the inference on a single instance (must be true if a user device can do it). 2. It’s apparently possible to run a video game streaming service for $10/month/user. 3. So users should be able to generate unlimited images (one at a time) for $10/month? Maybe the answer is the DallE/Midjourney models running in the cloud a…

Nvidia’s business model makes it inherently more expensive to run on the cloud.

We're actually really close to general robot agents that operate in your home. Check out googleAI's saycan & RT-1 systems

Feels a bit gimmicky to me, but maybe I’m missing some need in the market.

I wonder about auto-generated captchas perhaps? or are these going to be easy to reverse?

On a side note: I’d love to switch from Cloudflare to bunny, but it’s missing a WAF. We were promised it from bunny for a long while, but didn’t see it yet. Personally I would imagine it being a more core feature for a CDN than AI bunnies on the edge, but I guess I’m old and boring.

The commoditization of image generation has been shockingly fast. Now our CDN provider provides low-cost generation.

>> Monetizing models is tricky because it’s so cheap to run locally but so expensive in the cloud.

Can you expand on this a bit? The way i'm thinking, that is only the case if you need low-latency. And in that case, it seems you just need to charge to cover compute.

We're running Stable Diffusion on an eks cluster and it evens out the load across calls and prevents over-resourcing.

If latency isnt an issue, it can be run on non-gpu machines. If you're looking for someone under $300 or $400/mo, then I agree it may be an issue.

On that note, I havent checked whether there are lambda/fargate style options which provide GPU power, to achieve consumption based pricing tied to usage, but that might be a route. Can anyone speak to this?
