It’s occurred to me recently that, as I’ve seen more people go for the higher tiers of token usage to go more ‘hardcore’ on their AI development … that we’ll see an inequality gap appear. Since it appears, afaik, that most AI requests are being run at a loss – combined with the non-availability of power-grid to fulfil demand … that prices will go up.
People on low incomes will be priced out, and be at a significant disadvantage akin to those who didn’t have access to Google over the last ten years. Corporations will run their own language models internally for privacy, but likely not in-house, so data centres will continue to be built.
Anyway, tried AntiGravity recently. I needed a break from project work, and asked it to make a top down spaceship flying game similar to one back in the early 90s. Needless to say it did a great job. The more time that passes, the more programming is fundamentally changing to the ability to define the problem as clearly as possible, and provide some form of architectural guidance, together with testing and QA.
