If Anthropic or OpenAI go bankrupt, is there any reason not to expect that the model weights will be sold to some other company as part of that bankruptcy procedure?
If that happened would the model weights even be worth anything? Clearly the generated tokens weren't good enough to customers to justify their price
I agree completely.
I don’t get this idea that AI will go away at some point. We’ll still have all the self-hostable models even if there are no newly trained models for a while. There will be companies that make money hosting those and selling tokens at a profit. We already have a pretty good idea what that looks like. We’ll also have companies like Google and Meta where AI is not their main product, who get competitive benefit out of…
It's wishful thinking from people who want it to go away.
For mechanical work–things like bumping versions, fixing failing tests, checking documentation for inconsistencies–the clankers have proven their worth (even before LLMs, anybody remember dependabot?)! The way to fix that, of course, is automated processes and mechanical guardrails. Automatic enforcement of style, automatic testing and linting and formatting–same as ever. We can use the whale fall tokens to build tha…

It's really pointless to try to engage with that sort of attitude: I'm right and everyone who disagrees with me is just larpers but I'll go ahead and strawman them so I can have something to write about online. Why should I read that? To waste my time and feel insulted?
Btw, I'm not anti-AI, but one doesn't have to be, to be critical of the current LLM market, but hey, I'm just larping eh?
