hosted LLMs consolidate Big Tech's grip on all of us. almost all training and inference runs on infrastructure provided by Microsoft, Google, Meta or Amazon.
It's really very much like tractors were for farmers. Except that the tractors are not even on the farm and you have to rent them per drop of gasoline.
And the tractor can speak and acts like a clumsy wh*re 80% of the time.
Weird times for automation.
