@njoseph @thinkb4coding @pluralistic tokens *are* getting cheaper, but also you're using a lot more of them
also not that much cheaper, blackwell hasn't been a good nvidia generation for yield, so they're not *that* much cheaper

@davidgerard@circumstances.run @njoseph@social.masto.host @thinkb4coding@mastodon.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr I don't get why anyone tolerates token pricing at all. Remember when phone plans were structured by how many minutes of talk you got? Everyone hated that and now those plans are treated as bottom tier. You're already a sucker if you're paying to have your artificial intelligence metered out to you. This is get your burner AI computer with a prepaid AI plan at Best Buy stuff.

@abucci @njoseph @thinkb4coding @pluralistic literally a burner given the heat output
the 5090 uses 900W
I remember when the high-end card used 600W
