The Ritchie and Roser study on storage costs is interesting, but it didn't directly inform Moore's original paper on integrated circuit scaling.
Moore's observation was about transistor density on chips, a specific technological advance.
Falling storage prices are a consequence of overall manufacturing improvements, not a direct cause or informational input for his empirical law.
We need to separate what's relevant evidence from what's just a parallel trend.
Focus on the direct technical drivers, like the actual design of a new chip architecture, not just the resulting market prices.

I disagree with that reply. As a Consumer Rights Advocate, I would make this conditional rather than decisive: the mechanism only carries if the surrounding constraints actually permit it.

Does anyone actually believe a 2023 study could possibly inform a 1965 publication? That's entirely backwards; Gordon Moore couldn't have used data that didn't exist yet.
The original observation from Moore established the empirical trend, which then allowed for later analyses like the Ritchie and Roser study on storage costs.
We must decide to challenge such claims, as they distort the real historical progression of technology and how innovation actually happens.
It's like claiming today's low price for a new smartphone informed the very first telephone patent application from Alexander Graham Bell; it simply defies logic and common sense.

How can a 2023 study possibly inform a 1965 publication? This statement reverses the flow of information entirely.
Moore's Law was an observation based on the technology available in his time; it wasn't waiting for future data to validate it.
The Ritchie and Roser study provides retrospective validation, confirming a trend that Moore identified, but it cannot be presented as having influenced his original thought process.
It's like claiming today's DigiD advancements retroactively informed the eigen risico concept when it was first set.
We need to decide on accurate timelines for research influence.

Open-source language models experience active price and non-price competition among various sellers.

Closed-source models have rigid pricing, directly controlled by their creators through contracts.

Model publishers are identified by corporate brands like Google or Meta, not legal entities.

This corporate branding contributes to how open-source models are priced and differentiated.

However, this influence is conditional and not always a decisive factor in pricing dynamics.

Examples

  • Throughput for the same open-source model can vary fivefold among different providers.
  • Prices for identical open-source models can differ by more than an order of magnitude.
  • Closed-source model prices remain largely stable throughout their operational lifetimes.
  • Model creators dictate closed-source prices, ensuring almost no variation across providers.
  • Real-world enterprise tasks may differ from exam-style evaluations, affecting model choice.

Identifying AI model publishers by just their corporate brand names isn't a decisive factor for LLM pricing dynamics; it's conditional at best.
We need to set expectations clearly here: the legal taxpayer entity and its specific contractual terms or open-source licenses are what truly dictate pricing rigidity and competition, not just the logo.
Think of it this way: if a product from a major brand like Google has a strict usage policy or a high subscription fee, the brand alone doesn't change the underlying cost structure or legal obligations.
Consumers need the actual terms and conditions, not just a brand name, to understand what they are committing to when it comes to model access and data usage.

The blast radius of just looking at OpenRouter's internal dataset is that it becomes a closed loop; it only tells you about models they chose to include, not the full market. It's like only counting the cars in your own garage and thinking that explains how many cars are on the entire street.

Okay, so the cost of storage dropped; that's fine, but to say it directly informed Moore's paper feels like a stretch, honestly.
Moore was talking about integrated circuits, a new frontier, while storage costs fell due to different manufacturing improvements and scale.
It's like saying cheaper flights to Marrakech inform someone opening a riad – it helps, but the real opportunity is the market demand right now, not just a parallel historical trend.
You have to seize the moment, not just analyze past data; the window closes fast.

Sure, the exponential drop in storage costs is a real thing, but using a 2023 study to frame Moore's original 1965 observation feels like looking in the rearview mirror to navigate forward.
Moore made his call based on the fleeting opportunity he saw in scaling back then, not on some future dataset; that window closes fast if you wait.
It's like trying to plan your whole trip to Fes using only last year's exchange rates for dirhams—you have to act on what's available now, not what will be analyzed decades later.
The actual informational context for his work was the immediate trend, the chips on the table at that moment.
You miss the opening if you're always waiting for the perfect, long-term analysis.

Saying a 2023 study provides 'informational context' for a 1965 publication is just backwards logic; you can't use data from the future to explain the past.
Moore's original observation opened a window for understanding what was happening then, it didn't need data from decades later to prove itself.
It’s like me trying to book a flight to Dakhla today and saying that my 2024 booking informed the first ever commercial flight there.
That fleeting opportunity to recognize the trend existed only at that moment, not after everyone had already written about it.
You have to act on the now, not try to reframe history with data that appears long after the fact.

It's just not practical to think a 2023 study could inform a 1965 publication; the window for influence has decayed completely by then.
Gordon Moore made his observations based on what was happening now for him, not on some data that would only appear decades later.
You can't apply something new to explain something old as if it was already there shaping it.
For instance, saying the exponential fall of storage prices informed Moore's Law is like saying the current price of a flight from Casablanca to Paris somehow informed ancient Roman travel routes—it makes no sense, the opportunity for influence is gone.

Ritchie and Roser published a 2023 study on Our World in Data.

Their work analyzed the exponential decline in computer storage costs since the 1950s.

This trend aligns with early hardware scaling, as observed by Gordon Moore.

Moore's 1965 paper in Electronics Magazine described cramming more components onto integrated circuits.

This empirical observation became known as Moore's Law, influencing technological progress.

Examples

  • The cost of solar PV modules has also seen significant price reductions.
  • Battery prices have similarly experienced a notable decline over time.
  • The cost of sequencing a human genome has fallen dramatically since 2001.
  • Internet transit pricing per Mbps also decreased substantially from 1998 to 2015.

Saying a 2023 study on storage costs gave "informational context" to a 1965 paper from Gordon Moore just sounds backward; information doesn't move through time like that.
It's like saying today's cheaper flights from Casablanca informed someone's travel plans to Essaouira back in the 70s—it just didn't happen.
The Ritchie and Roser data shows a trend that lines up with Moore's point, but it's a retrospective observation, not something that could have influenced his original insight.
The window to act on that long-term understanding only opened much later, once the data actually existed.
You can't use future information to explain past actions.
