    Interesting approach. But of course it’s another black box, because otherwise it wouldn’t be effective. So now we’re going to be wasting even more electricity on processes we don’t understand.

    As a writer, I dislike that much of my professional corpus (and of course everything on Reddit) has been ingested into LLMs. So there’s stuff to like here for things going forward. The question remains: At what cost?

        The thing is the sheer scale of Cloudflare. This is going to be widespread and, as such, way more energy intensive than even, say, AWS trying the same thing (not that I expect they would).
