We should federally tax Tokens at the Provider level.
Not a lot. Less than 50c per million tokens.
It will accomplish 4 things (at least )
1. It will push the big AI players to optimize tokenization, caching , routing and localization
Which will
2. Reduce energy usage. Saving them in energy costs more than what they paid in tax and reducing strain created by the growth in energy consumption
Which will
3. Generate maybe 10 billion dollars a year to start, but over the next ten years could grow 30x to 100x
Which will
4. Create a source of funding to pay down the federal debt or deploy, in response to the things AI brings that we don’t expect or don’t like
At some point the models will pass it on to customers. Of course. That’s ok. Customers will have the ability to choose between providers. Or to do everything using open source models locally.
Thoughts ?

@ReichlinMelnick @eternallyRaq Although it’s a worthy cause, that shouldn’t be funded by tax dollars.

You do not hate the DOGE people enough. They were boys with toys breaking things they were too arrogant and lazy to understand.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost
In a case that revealed the inner workings of DOGE, a federal judge ruled that the agency did not have the authority to cancel National Endowment for the Humanities grants, which made up more than $100 million in congressionally appropriated funds. wapo.st/4wd7za1

Training is all about "adding fahve" at an appropriate interval for your training advancement.
As a novice, thats every session/week, for the intermediate, thats every 1-2 weeks, for the advanced, you are thinking in terms of 4-8-12+ week cycles
Eventually, you'll hit PR's maybe twice a year, or less.
But the upward trend continues, or maybe you fight to Maintain Your Base™️ while doing other physical pursuits
But even then, you focus on a little more, again and again, for a long time.

As a non-American, this is just objectively going to be an improvement no?

@me14751242 @ProudSocialist I didn't realise that Ontario was in California. This whole time I thought it was a province in Canada, silly me.

My problem. I moved from Texas to Utah Valley, Utah. We have no Waffle House. (Please don't bring up IHOP or Cracker Barrel. )
Where can I get a decent breakfast from a diner that knows how to do it properly? No avocado toast. No crab eggs benedict. The real deal.
Utahns help me out.
