How these things are even connected? The current prices the largest players set for their models are not profitable, they bleed money. Eventually they will "fix" it. It could end up making their services less affordable and it could cascade other businesses and services that are dependent on them go out of business

> The current prices the largest players set for their models are not profitable, they bleed money. How are the open-weight Chinese models staying ~6-12 months behind on widely distributed / commodified hardware, and serving for even lower prices?

By distilling the US SOTA models, which is cheaper than creating from scratch.

Machines are extensions of man, it’s not man vs machine but man with machines vs man without. Well at least as long as they don’t develop consciousness of their own.

Well, it's different "man" as well - lowering the barrier to entry means people with less skill but with a machine, and maybe the gift of the gab, can commercially surpass the previous people, whether or not they have a machine available.

Every time I open one of the multiple daily posts about Anthropic or OpenAI and read the comments, I get this weird feeling. Astroturfing is obviously common in political spaces, whether to normalize certain views, manufacture consensus, or shift public opinion. It seems to me that HN would be a prime target for tech companies to do the same thing, and lately I can't shake the impression that there's a lot of it goin…

Generally the comments are heavily anti AI to the point where it almost seems like it’s a foreign adversary trying to mold the public opinion to be anti ai to slow the progress of AI advancement in the USA

I thought the opposite. I've sensed the gravitational pull from 2 trillion-dollar companies that are hoping to IPO in the near future

Especially since these anti-AI comments completely disappear in posts about Chinese AI progress.

Just subjectively making it up, but my feeling is that people are not so much against AI in principle as they are against the american-capitalist approach to it: steamroll its rollout everywhere, risk the entire economy (both jobs and stock market), for dubious net benefits to anyone but the wealthy.

The US earned themselves very little goodwill from the world (and many of their own citizen), to the point that people even in the West are happy seeing China challenging the US on the AI front. Whether China is wielding AI for better or worse outcomes than the US is up for hindsight.

That is the most bizarre leap given that the best models bang-for-buck right now are Chinese.

The real issue here is the death of critical thinking.

You don’t understand what a bubble is. How good the technology is is irrelevant. That has nothing to do with an economical bubble. It’s all about massive capital misallocation driven by a frenzy of FOMO, which is specifically the case for AI investments. Economically speaking what is happening is the most obvious bubble possible, it follows everything that would be expected from a bubble where companies are chasing a…

As long as the data centers are utilized and generating revenue, I see no reason for a correction or any misallocation of capital for the infrastructure buildout. And today these data centers are fully utilized. OpenAI tweeted today that they may need to disable new signups for the Pro subscription in the near future due to capacity constraints. A year from now, who knows what the situation is going to be like. It se…

> A year from now, who knows what the situation is going to be like.

That cuts both ways, we are building datacenters for an immature technology that is quickly evolving. We have no idea what AI will look like in the next 5-10y. Everything that is planned to be built is based on the demand we see right now, not what it will be in the future. That means different GPUs that require different cooling systems, different power supplies, etc. NVIDIA already broke backward compatibility with their new cards, which requires a different infrastructure.

What is unserious is the opposite position: believing that we already know what will be valuable in the future and bet the entire economy on it, without any proof of positive ROI.

This is total bollocks. The skeptics are all present and just as forceful in any AI thread.
