There are people out there building AI building orchestrators for orchestrators for orchestrators for agents. The author of that blog post later claimed to be spending the equivalent of $122k/month on tokens (by rotating their usage between 21 accounts).
As far as I can tell, the only thing that this level of spend has produced so far is an indie 2D RPG video game.
Let's say that happens. What reason is there for the company to employ the meat proxy? The company can just run the LLM in a loop and lay off the employee. There's no point at which this methodology will work for the employee
I would argue that there's still an important role for human employees as compliance ablative armor.The human's purpose is to keep an eye on the LLM, occasionally intervene/interfere with its work, and most importantly, incur social/legal liability for anything that the LLM does wrong.
Kind of like the backup drivers used by self-driving cars.
Will MbS place a phone call to Pakistan National Command if his oil shipments get distilled for too long?
There seems to be a tug-of-war here. Harness authors want models to use the harness's specialized tools, but AI labs and agent "users" would rather have full access to just one tool: bash.
It's a open-source clone of Spore that aims to be more scientifically accurate. Right now you can play as microbes and very simple multicellular organisms.
The "nitroplast" organelle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atelocyanobacterium_thalassa
That doesn't mean that local models are useless though! If Mythos/Sol is an ASI that threatens to take your job and turn you into paperclips, then Qwen/Gemma is an old-fashioned office secretary that loyally helps you with tasks but doesn't have a good grasp of details. Every white-collar worker 50 years ago would have killed to have a hard-working personal secretary.
Imagine that I am a bank robber. I rob the bank for $10 million The court forces me to pay a $3 million fine. I am now $7 million richer and justice is restored - how wonderful!
$10k/month * 36 people = $4.3m per year. $1.3m per year is a relative bargain!
While things may be different now, Windows 8 got panned for trying to put touch elements into a desktop UI. Windows 10 and 11 would abandon that approach.
Nonsense, giving money to the wealthy and powerful makes them poorer - that's why you should give them some more of your money.
And if you are already sure of the correct solution, then you can just keep doing the divination over and over again until the gods give the answers that you want!
On a planetary scale, gigawatts are nothing. The total amount of energy that Earth receives from the Sun is about 100,000,000,000 megajoules of energy every second, 99%+ of which gets dissipated as heat.
If this is about the climate, then it's important to remember that climate change and pollution ultimately are not a meaningful threat to Earth as a planet - both Earth and its life have been through far far worse[0][1][2][3]. They are only a threat to humans[4].

I wonder how many more caches of drones Iran has lying around. Days? Weeks? Years?
There's also the question of how to resupply any anti-drone systems in the area - maybe we'll see convoys carrying interceptors crossing the Arabian desert.
