| But the progress goes both ways: In five years, you would still want to use whatever is running on the cloud supercenters. Just like today you could run gpt-2 locally as a coding agent, but we want the 100x-as-powerful shiny thing. |

| ▲ | mcny a day ago | parent | next [-] | | That would be great if that was the case but my understanding is that the progress is plateauing. I don't know how much of this is anthorpic / Google / openAI holding itself back to save money and how much is the state of the art improvement slowing down though. I can imagine there could be a 64 GB GPU in five years as absurd as it feels to type that today. | | |

| Paying for compute in the cloud. That’s what I am betting on. Multiple providers, different data center players. There may be healthy margins for them but I would bet it’s always going to be relatively cheaper for me to pay for the compute rather than manage it myself. |

| Woah, woah, woah. I thought in 5 years time we would all be out of a job lol |
