Now do training centers, since it's obvious they are never going to settle on a final model as they pursue the Grail of AGI. I could do the exact same comparison with my local computer and claim that running a prompt only uses X amount of watts because the GPU heats up for a few seconds and is done. But if I were to do some fine tuning or other training, that fan will stay on for hours. A lot different.

If you're having success with your use cases, then good. Just be sure to verify the results, and that's key because many people using LLMs aren't looking hard at what they get but just copying it as right. When LLMs fail, they fail gloriously, because they don't understand what they're outputting since they aren't AGI, even though they're sold as such.
They took a path they believed would develop into something, and it's a narrow alley they can't turn around in. They have to keep going with more compute and power to continue the chase. Thing is, everyone else seemingly thought they were onto something and followed as well, so they're all in the same predicament where reversing course is suicide. So they hope they can keep selling the dream a bit longer until something happens.
To be fair, it's a lot more than just autocomplete. But it's a lot less than what they wanted by now too.
That's my main reason for not pursuing a VM version yet. While I rarely go into the WIndows side now, I don't want anything to show a different usage and give them a reason to lock the Windows part. I ran into something like that a few years ago, had to go through all sorts of validation with the Microsoft account to get things running right again. Wow, it almost sounds like holding the computer hostage.
"He" meaning the society and politics at the time which needed a war god to rally support against suppression and invasion. Before such events Yahweh still had believers (Yahwists) but they were a smaller group compared to other god worship. Until wartime, of course.
Yahweh is rather war-mongering.
That's odd that you'd describe them as Nickelback or worse, modern country music, when part of why they've gained and lost fans over the years is because their albums tended to have different sounds to them.
And stepped down as President in the end to let someone else lead. For a better comparison of leadership now, look at Don't Look Up. Far more realistic in so many ways.
You'll know. When her behavior gets to the point where she's not having good quality of life, if she starts hiding all the time, panicking regularly, or finding dark places to be alone, or grooming/litterbox issues. I think if she just has bouts of memory loss but they return and she's happy, it's not time yet. I've been "fortunate" with my pets in that whatever the issue was, each time it became obvious very quickly and made the decision easy (but still hard to deal with, it always is).
Hey, we had a taste of socialism with FDR's long run, and besides [long list of improvements to the country] we hated it!
Some jobs have been lost to to changing to AI. Not because the AI was the better choice, but because it was seen as a short term profit (cheap AI, less labor costs). Other places have moved in AI more gradual, like in requiring it as part of work, and that can be easier to pull back once it fails because the people aren't gone.
The growth of LLMs started as research, but marketing got involved and that's why it's everywhere now, making promises that LLMs can't fulfill (mainly because everyone ran with the "AI" label, when it's not).
I can still have back in college dreams where I've missed class or don't have an assignment. I obviously got scarred with my real experiences, as when I wake up I find it ridiculous to still have such anxiety to try and fix what was broken so long ago. It doesn't help that they usually are combined with the regular impediment of my bad dreams of not being able to move well, just walking is like being in quicksand.
The weirdest dream I've had in my adult life that still bugs me was some liminal horror from watching too many Backroom type videos. I can't recall the setup or anything, all I can remember is that I was looking up at the sky and the sky was becoming not darker but felt like it was closing in and projecting an oppressive feeling, and there was this ominous low level sound that was paralizing me. Nothing appeared, nothing happened (except I woke suddenly), but that hopeless feeling was terrible.
