Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•At some point AI companies are going to have to charge real money to make a profit from their services. What do you think that amount would be and why?
2·1 month agoThat won’t happen due to token limits. According to Anthropic, only about 5% of users hit the limit.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•At some point AI companies are going to have to charge real money to make a profit from their services. What do you think that amount would be and why?
3·1 month agoLet’s do some estimates:
- An 8x H100 machine costs about $20 / hr to rent.
- With a 70B model with 4K context, a H100 node can do about 300 requests in parallel.
- A single response takes around 30 seconds to generate.
- An average user sends about 300 messages / month.
The throughput of a node is
300 concurrent * (3600 / 30) = 36 000 messages / hour.
The cost per message, then, is $20 / 36 000 = $.00055…
With 300 messages per month, the compute cost for the AI vendor is 300*$20/36000 = $0.16 / month per user. By contrast, a subscription costs $20.
So given these assumptions, it’s other things (like R&D, safety research, training runs, free accounts, etc) that represent the bulk of the cost and those could be scaled down to turn a profit. What will they do? Give how hyped AI is currently and the competitive landscape, I don’t think they’ll increase prices that much. We have products like DeepSeek on the horizon which are much cheaper, so it’s more likely that they squeeze money out of it by becoming more efficient.

221·1 month agoI’m not in any way, shape or form defending the policy of Singapore, but… given that they do have a death penalty for this, why the hell did he carry 1 kg into the country? I’ve been to Singapore and I was afraid to even let go of my bags for a second, for fear that someone would plant something on me.

71·1 month agoMaybe it should just say “this means your intelligence is below average”. I genuinely think someone with <80 IQ would have a very low chance of understanding the text as presented in the screenshot.
Stupid people are people with human rights too, and they should be considered with empathy when building a society. That should be particularly obvious to a site that performs IQ tests. For every person with an IQ above 100, there’s a person below.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is it there an equivalent to robots.txt for written manuscripts?
9·1 month agoRobots.txt is used to prevent search engines like google from fetching and adding specific pages on your web server to their search index.
What are you asking here? Who do you want to stop from doing what with your manuscript?

Technology@lemmy.world•Adobe Creative Cloud rewrote hosts file to detect installed appEnglish
47·2 months agoAdobe has no scruples.
I used to work for a full-disk encryption vendor in the 2000s, and one customer had an issue where the machine would BSOD sometimes if both our product and Adobe Acrobat were installed. It seemed a mystery or just a red herring - what on Earth did Acrobat do that could trigger a kernel-mode crash?
Turned out that every hour or so, Acrobat would be reading and writing back the master boot record (containing the OS bootstrap code and partition table) on the primary hard drive. The bug was ours (to unlock the hard drive keys at boot we had to put different data there and redirect I/O after Windows started, and this redirection code would crash once in a blue moon), but Adobe has no business mucking about with this extremely sensitive data.

Grasping at straws. The real issue is that nobody believes in the future.
