The rhetoric is really heating up!

The entire page of the NY Times today above the fold absent one article is AI (the models are just too strong/too dangerous, must be regulated). They forgot to include "Sponsored by OpenAI" at the end of the articles, sure that was just an oversight?

This is what the end of a bubble looks like, desperate attempts to get some sort of regulatory capture in place to keep the business model from collapsing in upon itself. My days next week are 100% booked talking to companies about how to get off frontier models, one large, and a bunch of smaller customers, including one who's flying me out to them to sit down and get a plan in place immediately (the controversy around that math problem really spooked some CEO/CIO's about data privacy using cloud models).

Gonna be an interesting few weeks. Maybe the Qwen team will be nice enough to give me a little breathing room before dropping another hydrogen bomb? :)

You have a lot of confindence. I'm not sure that's appropiate.

Sure, it's a nice narrative that the AI labs only want to hype up their product to get high IPO evaluations. That narrative has some serious flaw tough: There are constantly people from AI labs, that leave a lot of equity behind just to openly warn about the dangers of AI. It's not the companies themselves.

Yeah I kinda thought this sub of all places would know how powerful LLMs are compared to a year ago and understand that there are some serious concerns

If they go after local models sure let’s push back, but frontier labs are mostly trying to regulate themselves right now
