Everyone always ends these articles with “I expect it will get better”

What if it doesnt? What if LLMs just stay mostly the same level of usefulness they are now, but the costs continue to rise as subsidization wears off?

Is it still worth it? Maybe, but not worth abandoning having actual knowledge of what you’re doing.

If it's not working now when extravagant amounts of money are being put into it, it might be time to just accept what it is and work around that instead of keeping all the grand predictions.

Anyone can sell the future.

All the money in the present has been taken, you can now only make money from the future.

I expect the costs at source will go down even if model performance doesn’t improve much, and hopefully that will offset the unraveling of subsidisation. I’d be happy enough with that outcome, I don’t really need them to be any better although of course it would be nice. I would love for them to be faster and cheaper.
