Sure, AI progress comes to a halt then as everyone switches to the copycats that can't innovate, and the frontier companies are bled dry.

"frontier" as in the frontier of using everybody else's code, books, art of everyone else for a specific purpose that was never intended to, as in, not even open source projects ever imagined LLMs becoming a thing and their licenses reflected as much.
You have a very poor understanding of LLMs if you think that is the frontier today. Maybe in 2024 it was.
Please educate us then.
These companies don't get the chance to raise a trillion dollars, and you're laughing???
Poor babies.
Again, I don’t care about them.
it's not about the companies, what a myopic viewpoint
every delay to AGI results in deaths that AGI could have prevented. we are talking millions of deaths for, say, just a year's delay.
What a ridiculous, reductive and dangerously accelerationist viewpoint.

I thought we gave up on AGI and turned into making sex chatbots and simulated porn instead. Wasn't that what Sam was pushing for all along when he went all in on Sora and the erotic modes?
- you are assuming that an AGI will prevent more deaths than it would cause
- you are assuming that AGI is just around the corner and that scaling up language models is the path to get there
- you can make this argument about basically anything (nuclear power, tuberculosis medication, free healthcare). I’d say the burden of proof is on you to back up your extraordinary claim with extraordinary evidence.

Uhm, that's not what Hollywood told me. I trust the screenwriters of "Terminator" more than I trust your anonymous forum comment.
> every delay to AGI results in deaths that AGI could have prevented
Sure, that's what AGI would be used for /s
In other news, we are not even close to AGI and even with the current experimental technology, frontier AI model companies are already fighting to help departments of war, which actually results in the most deaths. What makes you think AGI would be used for not leading to the same millions of deaths?
Qwen are the only guys doing real innovation. (LLM architectures and such.)
Everyone else is just gaming engagement metrics and benchmarks.
