    Only if LLMs are the only option. A paradigm change is coming. It’s like what happened when European and Japanese performance cars started to take on American muscle cars or SpaceX (yeah I hate the Nazitard too) started recovering rockets and reusing them, or PCs started replacing mainframe workstations…

      Look at the enormous processing resources of biological brains. Human brain is 2% of body mass but 20% of baseline metabolism – this is very expensive evolutionary. Neural hardware used for LLMs or just any scientific numerics accelerator is just a bad reinvention. Your argument reminds me of Minsky’s “5 MIPS is enough for AI”. Nope. You have to track a lot of state, its relationships and refresh it all very quickly. Computation is expensive.
