Hello everyone,

My name is Morgan Le Grand, I am an analyst-programmer and I have just joined the forum.

I am interested in computers, online games and Internet culture. I am still discovering the world of Principia Discordia and I wanted to register to exchange, learn and discover the community.

Looking forward to reading you and getting to know you.

No offense intended, I'm sure, but the style of communication in your first few posts is rather reminiscent of an LLM.

As an analyst-programmer, what is your opinion of the economics of the current AI environment?  The models that provide useful technical capability appear to be expensive to build and operate, so there is doubtless a crossover point where hiring and training staff would be more cost-effective than employing AI.  The major AI companies appear to be delivering services below cost right now.  Where does the equilibrium point lie?  Will AI disappear?  Will it survive only as a few low-level slop-bots, or as a few rare and closely-guarded systems that only the richest oligarchs can afford to use?  If it does survive is its current form, what is the path to profitability?

Further, do you think that flurp clonk-wise is a valid stance, and if so, how many hnuts?
