The Ouroboros in western mythology is a cautionary tale about the uselessness of the first perfect immortal being, and why humans should suffer our imperfections with insightful grace. The concept also made a great Red Dwarf episode.

LLM are more like the Mechanical Turk trick, but the persons inside the machine running the con is unaware of how their actions affect the confounded observers.

Have a wonderful day =3

Thank you, human being! Have you looked at the price of a RTX 5090? I can get a used car for that.

		Indeed, just paid $3k more for the same workstation we purchased last year at this time. Just the DDR5 sticks and NVMe drive cost more than most parts right now including a rtx 5070 Ti 16G card. For h265 hardware encoding, the performance differences on higher-end cards benchmarks was negligible. Building systems based on application specific benchmarks rather than general what-if use-case scenarios will sometimes show you something interesting. ymmv. =3
