I thought this was the best analogy I’ve seen, and he called it three years ago. It’s possible Dario, Sama, Elon, etc believe we need to slow development of AI because they can see things in their labs we cannot. Certainly the Chinese are not going to agree to pace their development.
I think David Sacks was spot on. They don’t need anybody’s permission to slow down. They don’t need to have a new regulatory authority make them. They could just do it. Instead, it looks an awful lot like regulatory capture. For companies like mine, much smaller, it’s terrifying there might be a governmental or even industry authority I need to certify our work before we can even ship.
As many others have said I think the real story is open models are eating into their growth and the charts they need to show exponential growth have started to bend flatter and they need regulatory capture to lock in their oligopoly. For our users and customers, our experience is the level of intelligence they need for telemetry use cases can be done for pennies on the dollar compared to the boutique token company’s models. It’s an exciting future.
Jevons paradox reigns supreme. Lowering the cost of tokens is going to open up so much demand for intelligence. The future is extremely bright, presuming we don’t allow the Baptists or the Bootleggers to lock us out of our path to the market.
