I don't think you understood my point. My point is that it "reinforces inequalities" in the sense that those with more money benefit from better tools, which in turn helps them makes more money.
replyWhich is not new, but this "reinforces" it.
That's exactly the point I responded too, I explained why it doesn't. They are burning money to show the future, it's not cost effectve. All tech is logarithmic, the calculator on my desktop isn't far off a modern super computer in terms of significant figures.
replyEdit: to be clear they spent lets say 50,000 dollars to make something that is worth 0 dollars (or negative). If there is money to be made with AI it's in serving and the ideas of the users, but the biggest users will get ripped off by smaller, and so a race to the bottom.
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.
replyWhat I am saying is that AI makes it easier for the rich to brute-force their way into something they don't really know, while the poor who knows what they are doing is slower than the brute-force, wasteful method of the rich.
This makes the rich, richer. And the poor, poorer. Therefore it reinforces inequalities.
