      We should be able to talk about the good and the bad.

      Again, I point you to “implicit costs”. Something this trivial isn’t good if it’s this expensive.

          The value of the modern LLM is predicated on trained models. You can run the models locally. You can’t run industry scale training locally.

          Might as well say “The automotive industry isn’t so bad if you just look at the carbon footprint of a single car”. You’re missing the forest for this one very small tree.
