An AI slowdown would mean regulation so OpenAI and Anthropic remain the primary vendor lock ins, and that the AI bubble doesn't burst - as investors think its potential is only capped by regulation.

It's pretty transparently obvious to me the cultish doomsday narrative is due to awful internal culture at Anthropic (I've heard first hand from employees there saying it is a cult), and ultimately this is about culture for IPOs and money.

@GossiTheDog I sincerely wonder with the chinese models spooling up as we speak how well an artificial slow-down of us-only companies will be received even in the short term by investors.

@GossiTheDog and yet the AI companies did not produce something with value proposition.
Buying and using AI related tools is still a loss game.They want to slow down despite not having reached a tabgible state yet?

@GossiTheDog Legislation also gives a focus on what product features to make next.
These AI vendors haven't created anything new for ages - only a slightly better model each time. They've quickly fallen into the iPhone "merry go round" of bland updates masked as "groundbreaking evolutions"
Let's be honest, Microsoft hasn't really changed Word since before 1997. The only reason Microsoft can keep selling it to you is because it's now packaged up in an E7 licence with a whole bunch of hybrid AD, security and other DLP controls that MS begrudgingly made because companies needed them for compliance reasons.
Now the AI companies want these types of "new features" to sell.

@GossiTheDog is Google at all in on this AI truce? To me it feels like OpenAI and Anthropic need this to cool spending on the SOTA and work on their bottom line a bit before doing the IPO.

@GossiTheDog With continued development, rising training and tech costs and still no viable business to compensate for the costs, they know continuing will make the bubble burst soon.
They can package this slowdown in fear as much as they want, but it's they businesses popping their really fear.And they can only win. The status quo remains, they can work on their financials and if Trump doesn't want this they will make the government pay for it.

@GossiTheDog is this actually a least-worst case scenario if it means bosses realizing it wont replace everyone without necessarily imploding the economy.

Their slowing down will only help if they my get China on board. And I doubt that will happen considering the current background.
It may be only talk again. But still, one tendon may be that they realise AI may give the people more power than they anticipated.That being said, China may already be running in front again.

We don't need to slow down... we need to fucking fast forward to the bubble bursting. -

@GossiTheDog hopefully a "slowdown" would stop open ai enabling mass shootings the youtuber caelan conrad has documented many many instances

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social@cyberplace.social I strongly suspect “slowdown” = cash strapped + no meaningful revenue + skyrocketing construction costs + advanced “frontier” models don’t work well.

AI is a fossil fuel funded fraud, favored by fascists.

In economic terms, what is the difference between parasites that kill quickly or parasites that kill slowly?
A choice between dying slowly from malaria or dying fast from bubonic plague?

@GossiTheDog There was never a bubble, no one wants these slop machines, and the only reason they're "making money" is through government fucking handouts.
