I love Isaac's "WHAT" when Eli started talking about Anthropic not keeping log files. Honestly when I watched Eli's video about that before, my reaction, as an IT admin, was the same.

I'm not afraid of AI becoming smarter than us.<br>I am afraid that we prove to be dumb enough to give control to the unintelligent, unreliable AI that we created

The thing is: it doesn't make sense to run these bigger and more expensive models because they don't have a hibernation mode. They are at 100% all the time. If local computing can solve small to medium size problems (most problems) big models aren't profitable

The "reasoning model" is just a more complex predictor than the original predictor. I get that these models use advanced math (groups and sets) and vast data sets, but they don't reason or think.

Using AL LLM systems that bill by the token, has pushed the users of those systems back to the 1960s - 1980s. Before PCs there were time-sharing computers that billed users for the amount of CPU time and I/O time that they used. I had a summer job at the DOT's National Transportation Systems Center in Cambridge MA in 1981. There was a full time analyst there, in my department, who was greeted one morning with a two inch thick computer printout. The program they ran before they left the previous evening had gotten stuck in a loop and had exhausted their entire computing budget for the project they were working on. Once we had our own PCs in the late 1970s and early 1980s the shackles of time-sharing were gone. Now we are again shackling ourselves to AI LLM time-sharing systems and having to pay through the nose for any endless loop errors.

Eli explains things pretty clearly. He's one of your most helpful guests for me. I think that I have a much better overview of this stuff from watching The Tech Report.
