@Merc @histoire Because innovations are sort of rare these days. Think about the last time you paradigm changing device or concept in your lifetime. Probably AI. Before that, the modern smartphone? People want in on the game changers because that's where money is. AI isn't there yet, but it won't get there without hypemoney (or at least it will take longer). More advancement will happen from people with underpowered computers finding shortcuts to accomplish similar things as complex processor heavy LLMs, and those advancements will be rewritten and adapted to mega computers when possible. In a way, this is probably a big stepping stone even if it looks like nothing right now. General FOMO too.
