    It won’t go away, but LLM won’t always mean automated-cargo-cult-programming, digital serfdom, climate apocalypse and a financial speculation bubble. At some point, their cost will have to be their actual cost. Bigtech hope is many will be so hopelessly dependent at that point, that they will pay that cost. Also that there is little competition because few can run at those losses.

    But I think at that point, efficient small language models you can own/host, train and use at will, will be a thing. No one wants to be (American) bigtech serfs.

      This is consistent with how most people have technology since the PC. They want control of their devices, the ability to use open source software, self host the services they deem critical. I’m no predictor, but I can see AI going the same path as other technologies, and we will get to a more user controlled environment.

        Exactly. Right now it is the mainframe era and the billionaire monopolies want it that way. However that is a future not one but them wants. Little tech rebel alliance is the way to go. I’m not interested in big tech’s imperial AI.
