Mid is exactly the word for it. Samsung have put out a couple of AI adverts for their quantum dot TV tech and it just feels like they couldn't find a director or actors who cared enough to make the adverts. So they shrugged and an exec threw AI at it for an afternoon

I heard a lot of people say inference costs were going to go down. But the loans the top AI companies have now are so monumental that if inference costs decrease all that happens is the CFO might stop walking up in a cold sweat one less night a month. It's unlikely they can pass that savings along.

Why is NZ catching strays here? Our fibre being faster than Australia is one of the main things we have to brag about. I hope you are prepared for an onslaught of speed test pics
