That's not how that works… the money "lost" isn't going down the drain. It is… going somewhere, doing something useful. That's why it is a loss to the company.

    If it's going to make LLMs it's not as useful as the other things I listed. Paying a bunch of software engineers $300k each to work on LLM nonsense instead of something useful is a shame. Sure, the money isn't set on fire, but the opportunity cost is large.

    Your confusing fact with opinion.

    Factually yes it's useful to the company.

    Your opinion is that the usefulness doesn't justify it and this isn't useful.

    The real question is, is it useful enough. Which is likely no.

    That's at least 3 "your"s in this thread when it should be "you're". If you're wondering why you're getting down voted....

    I'm not wondering nor do I see the point of downvotes? I will never understand the weird fixation with down votes.

    Also I don't even see these downvotes your talking about in the first place. My post appears to have no downvotes and one upvote to me.

    So either something is broken here or your bullshiting for a reason I don't understand.
