Last year Dario Amodei, the co-founder of leading AI firm Anthropic, put the current cost of training advanced models at between $100m and $1bn.

So his estimate is so vague as to be fucking useless.

How people haven't seen through this emperors new clothes nonsense & grasped that these are the bullshitting self appointed druids of the neo religion.

That bubble they keep mentioning is where they're all getting high off their own farts

Tbf, that could also just be describing the variability of models.

I'd imagine there's a difference in cost for training Dall-E 3 and GPT-3.5 for example.
