If you’re demanding rigorous proof for only one side of an argument while assuming the other side must be true, you’re not interested in honest debate.

The cost of AI inference has been a heavily analyzed topic. I trust the professional analysts much more than the casual Hacker News commenter claiming they’re losing money per token because they’re repeating what they heard some other Hacker News commenter say

the claim that they suspect something is adequately backed up by saying “i suspect this”

nobody needs to prove their suspicions
