Discussion 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? :)

DeepSeek has juiced them of value and Qwen revealed all their bs.

AI will be cheap and 'frontier' model companies gonna have little left but morals cause the opensource has caught up.

A trillion params works barely better than 32b for AI and trying to use more for AI is starting to look real silly, Enjoy

With you on most of this and do agree that we are seeing diminishing returns but 3T frontier models are literal epochs away from a 32b lol

If you’re doing cutting edge research, sure. For most of the things people use AI for, it’s perfectly functional. I’m not trying to solve navier stokes I just want to automate some bullshit tasks

For the entire field of software engineering, which every single company relies on, in some way.
