The insistence/assumption that llm models will consistently get better, smaller, and cheaper is so annoying. These things fundamentally require lots of data and lots of processing power. Moore's Law is dead; devices aren't getting exponentially faster anymore. RAM and SSDs are getting more expensive (thanks to this insane bubble).

That's not a matter of Moore's Law failing, but short-term capacity constraints being hit. It's actually what you want if Moore's Law is to keep going. It's a blessing in disguise for the industry as a whole.
