    None of this is true.

    I’ve worked on data centers monitoring power consumption, we need to stop calling LLM power sinks the same thing as data centers. Its basically whitewashing the power sucking environmental disasters that they are.

    Machine learning is what you are describing. LLMs being puppeted as AI is destructive marketing and nothing more.

    LLMs are somewhat useful at dumb tasks and they do a pretty dumb job at it. They feel like when I was new at my job and for decades could produce mediocre bullshit, but I was too naive to know it sucked. You can’t see how much they suck yet because you lack experience in the areas you use them in.

    Your two cost saving points are pulled from nowhere just like how LLM inference works.
