All they need to do is get governments high on AI mass surveillance and they'll be golden
Gouvernement doesn't have 6 trillion to spare on mass surveillance
All they have to do is be the last AI company standing, then just absorb everyone else's hardware for cents on the dollar.
This recent "we should slow down" talk is basically just them stalling until the collapse. They've spent all they dare to try and be the one on top, now it's just waiting until the bubble pops.
Meanwhile China is out there being the black swan of the whole field. If they manage to get models with efficiency and/or utility above what these guys are doing, they're fucked and they know it. So it's a ticking time bomb, and there's not that much time left.
Efficiency above doesn't convey what China offers, their online frontier models cost 10% of what western models do, not 10% less, 90% cheaper. Also their open weights, which you can run in your own equipment (high end) can do about 80-90% of what these Frontier models do, for free.
True. The "we should slow down" also comes from the fact that there havent been any real technological advances since the transformer model. All improvements are from training bigger models better and more intricate scaffolding but you can only get so far with that.
You got causality reversed here man. They're military infrastructure, the chatbot slop is just sugar coating
Get govs high on mass surveilance? Can't get any higher than this.
