gollark: The rail thing isn't actually widely deployed since there are also unlimited `/home` locations.
gollark: I tend to play on lightly modded servers, so we have things like nether iceways and my automatically routed rail network there.
gollark: They're not deliberately making a weird pricing structure. The tokens are just a way to compact the input before it goes into the model. These things are often (partly) based on "transformers", which operate on a sequence of discrete tokens as input/output, and for which time/space complexity scales quadratically with input length. So they can't just give the thing bytes directly or something like that. And for various reasons it wouldn't make sense to give it entire words as inputs. The compromise is to break text into short tokens, which *on average* map to a certain number of words.
gollark: (not in the SCP universe, but in general, I mean)
gollark: I think that's been done a lot already. I liked https://qntm.org/ra, which is basically that.
