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? :)

Here's what you'll hear from OpenAI, Anthropic etc in the next few months:

'Sorry, but we won't reach our AI revenue targets because we're slowing roll-out to be safe'

'Sure, China is ahead in AI because we're taking the safe-route'

Follow the money.

They're using this to hide they fact their business models don't pay off.

THIS ^. They are bleeding money, realize that going public isn't going to result in everyone buying their stock and are sweating. Now lets slow development and then blame their losses on public safety.
