All the anti-AI people constantly say that any moment now the prices will skyrocket and in the end human work will be cheaper compared to using AI.
It doesn't look like that's happening, on the contrary the prices are falling especially when taking into account capabilities.
It's the Chinese open source models. They're barely behind the frontier, making AI a commodity, forcing openAI and Anthropic's margins downward.
I'm hardly a fan of China/Xi, but I do appreciate and benefit from this.
China doesn't care about money. Imagine a world where it's globally normalized to ask a Chinese LLM who to vote for, what happened in Hongkong, about the Uigurs, or if Taiwan is a country.
They will burn as much money as necessary to make that happen. And they have a virtually infinite amount of liquidity.
FYI the United States do not recognize Taiwan as a country.
There's only 12 countries that do on the planet, the most "relevant" of them being Guatemala and Haiti.
As or the LLM topic: you can download weights of chinese models and remove any censorship and bias. Can you do so with american closed ones?
There's zero chance of that ever happening. Pure delusion.
