@garrytan That's literally the point. They're pulling the draw bridge, the breakaway civilization starts now. Tech oligarchs and Gov are the only game in town. From here on out everyone will at best get watered down, neutered junk, while that select group will always have the cutting edge.
Here's what will happen:
- All frontier models will go to an elite few tech oligarchs and Gov who will use it to further cement their wealth and power.
- Eventually the plebs will get some version of it.
- This elite few will then get the next generation.
You are now a member of the permanent underclass.
It reminds me of the Yuri Bezmenov quote, relating to communist revolutions:
"They [leftists] are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize a nation. When their job is completed, they are not needed any more. They know too much. Some of them, when they get disillusioned, when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power—obviously they get offended—they think that they will come to power. That will never happen, of course. They will be lined up against the wall and shot.”
You didn't really think they were going to invent super intelligence then just give to the masses - did you? Lol
> be government
> waste trillions every year
> somehow make everything worse
> think about stopping waste and fraud
> instead just increase our theft from productive citizens
The income tax started as 1% on the top 1%, where did it end? Gov will always waste more than the total they can steal.
@sporadica You don't get it, they're lifting the draw bridge behind them. This won't stop Ant or OAI one bit, they will keep marching to AGI. And when it arrives, a select group of tech oligarchs and the Gov will be the only people who have access. This has been the playbook from the start
@milesdeutscher But think of the trillions the tech oligarchs will add to their market caps using their exclusive access, and the panopticon surveillance grid the Government will be able to build.
AI folx are so pessimistic, never looking on the bright side.
@romanhelmetguy We don't need small minded ideas like this. You need to think bigger, the buildings should be seized and given to the homeless and drug addicts.
It won't stay like that for long, just like Glasswing more and more oligarch companies will be added, and some of these companies spend -hundreds of millions- on tokens. Then like I said, it finally gets released to the public, and this insider group gets access to the next level of intelligence.
They make massive money on the corporate partners who are paying premium API usage. It's not permanent, they eventually provide access to the plebs but that 3-6 month gap where a select few have extra capability are enough to cement the underclass. These tech oligarchs will systematically destroy all competitors and wipe out all startups with this lead, which will be perpetual in the sense that when you're getting access to the Mythos, they're already getting access to the new Mythos++. A small oligarchy class will have a constant lead on the plebs.
Imagine you want to start a new AI company to develop frontier models. You spend billions. You succeed. You have a new SOTA model to release. But you're not allowed. This regulation has just made it impossible for any competitors in the space unless they're already trillion dollar companies who can afford to have their only product locked up for months or forever.
