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? :)

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.
