MannyKayy · x · 2026-07-19
This quoted post discusses the practical gap between AI researchers and commercial deployment: many researchers aim for AGI, but enterprise scenarios ultimately prioritize current business needs and sustainability. The quote includes a blunt commercial assessment: billing based on inference tokens might be a terrible business model, and the real value lies in "workplace automation" itself. The author even suggests that automation businesses could be scaled up first to反过来 fund larger training runs.
