The golden age of LLMs may be coming to an end. Soon we’ll see the same phenomenon as we have with Google Search results and with YouTube, with Facebook and Windows. People will rend their garments and lament the loss of the „old models” but the logic of the system that produced them will remain unchanged. Everyone will keep asking themselves how it happened and what can be done about it. Meanwhile the Claude that we…
LLMs may actually drag our super-valuable tech industry back down to earth and commoditize everything we've ever built. How hard would it be to build a new Google Search with a small team and an LLM? How hard would it be to engineer a new Google Drive and Docs suite? How hard would it be to create a new phone operating system? These all feel incredibly shallow now. A few dedicated people could build these systems and…
LinkedIn is that way.

And who has seen success with that? It's all theory now.

Because most of the tech that has been built was not super valuable at all. Linux, GCC, docker maybe. But your average SaaS was always a commodity.

Because ads will no longer look like ads. Model bias from the highest bidder, what fun. This is exactly why OAI and Anthropic enjoy spreading FUD about open weight models.
Calling it model bias is as disingenuous as calling newspaper ads media bias.
Call them both what they are: shit dumped into your mind.
Re: Advertise in ChatGPT
#424It seems like "serving advertisements" and "serving intelligence" are antithetical goals. Presumably, the market will recognize that in the long term.
Of course, I make no claims about how far in the long one will need to look to see that play out.

#425This is maybe not extremely on-topic, but when creating an account on their platform, their "Time zone" field is sorted in alphabetical order of CITY NAMES which are listed AFTER the timezone name and are not capitals, which is absolutely wild to me. If the same engineers worked on this that also worked on the ad deliveries, we're about to get either the best deal per click of the century, or the worst! Atlantic Stan…
Ah, despite the admirable variety in timezones for advertisers, it turns out that this is only rolling out in a limited set of countries: Australia Available Canada Available Japan Available Korea Available New Zealand Available United Kingdom Available United States Available
Weirdly no EU countries...

#426Err would the worlds most dangerous AI model really need advertising?

#428And so begins the enshittification. I hope my comment ages like unpasteurized milk on a hot summer day, but I’m afraid it will age like an sp3 hybridized allotrope of carbon.
Indeed - the enshittification of the enshittification!

Google has significantly more data than merely what you're googling. virtually every website transaction is observed by Google Analytics. nearly everywebsite has a google pixel installed. nearly every phyical location you visit and relationship you have is logged by Google. even if you never use google search, they have you marked
If your phone is Android they are tracking your location and nearby devices and who owns the devices you are consistently nearby. If your browser is Chrome they know your full browsing history. If your email is Gmail they know everything you emailed anyone or who emailed you.
It is scary how often I'll mention something in a face-to-have conversation and suddenly it's showing up in ads. It's way too often to be coincidence, especially with how unlikely some of those topics are. They are definitely monitoring everything and feeding it into their ad system.

#430With Chinese models undercutting on price, I feel like they are pretty much forced to do this to reduce the cost to users.
