By the way, there is caching (cache TTL is hort but during sessions it is active). E.g. Settings Status Config Usage Stats Session Total cost: $15.59 Total duration (API): 18m 3s Total duration (wall): 2h 1

What is that, exactly?

Why was this flagged? The article is a serious attempt at observation and analysis.

That is interesting. $200/month for >$10k at API-pricing? That's way more than the 2.5x-12.5x the article observes.

Wait, what?

Yes, th enumber is based on subsidised subscriptions and he article makes that clear.

There are no revenue estimates in the article). Only as serious as possible estimates of cost per task.

The data is given and not made up. The data based on actual use and on analysis of public numbers.

The no-caching is explained in the linked conversation. The numbers are from actual use.

Short 3 minute excerpt of a talk on fundamental properties of IT as well as fundamental properties of humans that influence design decision making in complex (IT) landscapes. Only slightly tongue-in-cheek.

Why, if the author asks it to summarise a single webpage and gives the link should ChatGPT go out and load 5 more (one is the same page again, the others short overview pages, so won't have influenced the result much) And why all this

Definitely. Otherwise it would have required a lot more than a single blog post. It is an observation, not anything rigorous with a large number of examples, and decent statistics.

Generative AI models 'memorise' some training data. This can be sought-after so we get reliable answers, but it is also a bad thing: training data leakage, plagiarism. The problem? The good and the bad are the same thing.

I would consider this realistic service design, just as Meta’s Cicero (plays blitz Diplomacy) is smart design. It might work as a service. What the answer glances over is that even with just 3% of the time requiring human assistance (2 minu

Bridges the gap between all the explanation of the internals of transformer architectures etc. and the (good/bad/imagined) uses. Suitable for non-technical people, but does explain what GPT does and what that means.

Because loans are generally a safer investment than stock (ownership) with more certain returns. And when you can get good returns from loans (high interest) stock gets relatively less attractive and hence the stock prices drop to match aga

Agile teaches us what Architecture _really_ is(ea.rna.nl)

One of the more interesting aspects is that the idea of what (enterprise) 'architecture' is, depends on who you talk to. There is an interesting relation between agile and architecture. https://ea.rna.nl/2018/

Nobody I take serious takes TOGAF serious. A while back Grady Booch was asked on Twitter what architecture books he would suggest. He replied with three images of sets of covers of what was on his bookshelf (some 45 books in all, I think).

Road maps are generally pretty useless. They are a form of trying to predict the future. Good Life Cycle Management is of course OK, but you cannot predict what you will need a year (or two) from now.

The article is simply saying that with the growth of IT, change is getting harder (existing landscapes have inertia), something the top is slow (if at all) to accept. That makes the role of the person trying to explain that (and why) change

Agreed. And in my observations, these architects were engaged deep in technical discussions. They weren't the 'powerpoint-slide' types.

The architects that think enterprise architecture is about designing enterprises and not about managing the effects of complexity that comes from IT at enterprise scale are generally the useless ones.

Sounds like a super example of 'loosely coupled spaghetti'

That is probably a good example of the _bad_ architects the article mentions

Architects that sit constantly in that abstract realm are useless (and they are not architects in my view). But there are architects that do exactly what you describe in your ideal world.

Architecture is simple: it is that in your landscape that is hard to change. Making design decisions that are wise is the task of an 'architect', which is just another word for 'designer' (though it has been sold as some
