Notes -
The crash would be a big L for rationalists who despite evidence to the contrary believe in future outcomes that require multiple miracles. Yud and Scott would be questioned for spreading ai doomerism over tech that's not even good at what it's supposed to do, let alone be agi.
David Gerard is one guy who I abhore and him providing decent criticism for ai with his website pivot to ai would be a small win for him and tens of his readers.
Openai may have to charge anywhere from 10 to 100 times more per query in order to be profitable. Their api calls netting sub 1 billion means that all llm wrappers are bad, period and are getting funding for valuations they don't deserve. Sam, Dario, Amjad, PG, every single VC knowingly lied and should be seen as responsible parties.
All of them are aware of the financial impossibilities I've listed. My contributions to this place haven't been the best, putting a realistic future scenario is the least I can do. I don't see a way out where this doesn't lead to thousands of jobs going out, I'll write one last post on this in a bit. Many here including me are in tech at various stages, categories, seniority levels and some are employed in startups that use non llm based ai, the good kind I mean. This affects all of us.
