@uncanny_static @tjr @timnitGebru I only skimmed the “paper” but they don’t seem to be accounting for the time it took to develop the LLM software; the time to build, provision, maintain, and decommission its hardware; the time to develop the content comprising its training sets (though, fairly, one should divide this by the number of LLMs trained upon it…)

All that to say, it’s a dumbass paper intended to reach a dumbass conclusion to be cited popularly by dumbasses.
