1. Replace workers with AI.
2. Now instead of wages you pay a company for AI services.
3. Despite the likely decline in quality of the work, suppose you become dependent as a company on this service. Suppose you make it work.
4. AI is heavily subsidized by venture capital, its priced lower than the cost to provide the service to attract early adopters (and to lock companies like you in.)
5. Inevitably the AI bubble bursts, AI services jack up their prices.

How is paying rent better than wages?

I can understand the urge to cut the cost of wages. Wages are the greatest expense for most companies. But, they have to know it's not gonna "get cheaper" it will get more expensive. Maybe they plan to retool their production process two times over? Seems inefficient.

We have seen a similar approach in IT. Companies thought they were smart by firing 90% of the technical staff, remove servers and storage, move everything to the cloud, and hite cheap offshore support.
The results long term have been mediocre support, skyrocketing cloud costs, vendor lock in, and total lack of oversight as company data now is stored on someone else’s servers.
But it looked good on spreadsheets.

It's also seen as a way to shift blame when something goes wrong. I don't think that this is a primary motivation, but I would say that it's more prevalent than one would think.

These landlords want to be seen as "responsible owners" when things are going well but as soon as something goes poorly, they want someone/thing else to yell and scream at (whom they don't have to look in the face) to get things going. It's about being able to shift the blame and causality away from themselves when something goes wrong. And, to be frank, most business types are too dumb to realize that they've been sold on a promise of "new efficiencies" that will never be delivered.

What is that old saying, "A poor workman blames his tools?" I believe that this is one of the main ideas driving this "AI" adoption in business - what these people really want are tools for which they can take credit but then also blame as being "faulty" when their own ineptitude causes problems.

That's all that this whole "AI" bubble is about - they don't want to augment or improve human ca

Darned good points. (Except LLMs are not AI and it's not ok to let them keep calling them such.)

A company that has workers who are trained and experienced in working with its needs has greater independence. By relying on another company to do everything for them, they actually not only lose that independence, but they risk that the other company now has the means to simply replace them...

Actually, I believe I have heard examples of this happening in the past (albeit not LLMs.)

@virtualinanity

Automated checkout was supposed to reduce the number of cashiers needed at stores. But now they need a person to fix the machines and people to help the people using the self-checkout... meaning it didn't really reduce labor costs much at all.

Things like checking ID, reversing charges all require an employee.

And in most stores they still need to have some regular checkout since some customers just CANNOT do it.

Even if, for the sake of argument, you ignore the real cost of LLM compute and assume the bubble won't burst -- your whole business has now changed to be just reselling LLM compute: You've become a middle-man that adds little to no value and only exists until your customers realizes they can just buy directly from the source, or your LLM provider decides they'd rather keep your profit margin for themselves.

Furthermore:

Tech companies who stop using traditional means and, instead, move to using LLM services have given up their ability to do work over to the LLM vendors.

Once the subsidy from VCs ends the price will go up drastically - what choice will they have but pay it? They laid off all of their workers who knew how to make things happen.

AFAICT the answer to the riddle is that these execs are not thinking like rational businesspeople, however much they might speak and justify themselves in those terms.

It's about screwing people over, disempowering them, and replacing them with obedient machines that can't talk back. An LLM will never outmanoeuvre you in office politics, or threaten your bonus.

in many European countries (I don't know much about the US or UK), we not only have worker rights, but also the reverse: There are laws protecting the employer against unfair retaliation from the workers. Changing to renting AI throws these rights out the window.

It boggles the mind that anyone is willing to take that risk.

Much like crypto completely does away with consumer rights and protections in the banking system.

There is this trend in business the las 30 years of rent-don’t-own. I do IT and this is “the cloud.” Rent servers, don’t own them. There’s the whole Office365 and every other software-as-a-service (SaaS) industry. Streaming music and film. Everyone wants recurring revenue, not capital investment. It drives subscription models in your products because everything underpinning your business is in a subscription, too.

There’s a principle that someone who specialises in something (computers, staffing, medical testing) will optimise it better than you can and make it cheaper, more efficient. But the myth is that they will share the resulting cost savings with you. Instead, they try to lower costs -for them- without changing the price -for you-. That’s where profit comes from, after all.

So people figure outsourcing is somehow good. Because they think it saves their business money and they get better service from a specialist. I’m sure that’s true sometimes. But mostly this seems like an unproven religious belief.

@paco You're mostly right, but "it depends."

For example, I pay Linode $20 a month to host a server for me, where I in turn host several dozen small sites for people (for free).

Now, I could buy a small machine, and set it up in my house, probably around the cost of a year's service, but then I'd have other issues. I'd need to get a static IP from my provider, I don't even know if they do that. The bandwidth would compete with mine.

@paco If I need to upgrade, I can spin up a new machine, copy, test, and switch with little stress. (I did it once before.)

So it works for me.

On a more dramatic level, I am working on a project that needs serious GPUs. The development machine I work on is a honking great physical machine that the company owns outright, running out of someone's garage in Estonia. (It's very reliable.)

They probably save tens of thousands of dollars a year that way.

It's a good choice.

💯. Companies have no clue what they're losing by replacing workers with AI.

- AI will never sanity check or push back on company decisions.

- AI will never tell managers: "this is confusing" or "customers will hate this".

- AI will never innovate new ideas while working on an existing one.

- AI will never identify friction for users or biases (in fact it will create them).

- AI won't be your first-round testers as something is being built.

-AI won't give u free advertising.

🇨🇦 If you wanted to destabilize a neighboring country using active measures it might look like this:

🔥 Infiltrate a national party and foment fake grievances.

🔥 Attack and destabilize the economy.

🔥 Foster a regional separatist movement to build a wedge in the federation.

It looks like the first two have failed and now Daniel Smith is being used to execute the last of these strategies. I'll relish the day she faces justice. #ElbowsUp #CanadianPolitics

Two Danish girls arrested for 3 days by #ICE because they (supposedly) were planning to violate ESTA rules. Article in Danish: dr.dk/nyheder/udland/droemmere…

Apparently, volunteering is also seen as actual work and requires a visa now. Fair enough. But then I will not risk that a border officer decides attending a scientific conference or meeting with a researcher at an American university is work, requires a visa, and is a sufficiently good reason to handcuff and detain me. Not going.

for me, the primary reason to not go to the US is not safety but principle. I will not support a fascist regime by normalizing it. And I would be normalizing it if I continued to come for teaching and research purposes, as I have done for years.
The lack of safety simply confirms that my decision was the right one.

Oops: "According to the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Wharton Budget Model, a weekly tracker of treasury data, total government spending has risen by $156 billion this year. When taking inflation into account, spending has still increased by $81.2 billion, Wharton professor and Budget Model director Kent Smetters told Politico."

Finished watching "Last Men In Aleppo" (2017). Glad I decided to watch that during the day, not late at night. (Many dead children and corpses, etc.) Rather unfortunate the world is picking this route more often than not now (bombarding innocent civilians; some of those you can't even mention here in the US without risk). #movies

Total war is just that. It being waged in the conventional and unconventional sense. Its not the past where large scale bombings of city's was just another tool.

Rather now the "necessary" strike that required a 500lb JDAM into a high density civilian area results in mass casualties further destabilizing an area that we have some ??? interest + a omnipresent 24/7 news cycle that quite frankly invented disaster fatigue particularly to atrocities that both sides are committing at an increasing rate

(as a disclaimer of sorts. I get that terrorists hide in the civilian population but at what point does the means no longer justify the ends?)
