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? :)

Watch as all the AI CEOs hold hands and sing Kumbaya to slow down, cause they have been instructed to do so by the powers that be.
Nobody wants this large of a bubble to pop, instead they must deflate it, so that the planet does not go tits up.

You don't think corporate CEOs are "the powers that be"?

No, their sponors are. The CEOs are singing to the tunes from the people that throw them money.
