> I’m pretty sure all LLMs could be Thanos snapped away and there would be near zero material impact. I mostly agree, but I don't think it's the model developers that would get bailed out. OpenAI & Anthropic can fail, and should be let to fail if it comes to that. Nvidia is the one that would get bailed out. As would Microsoft, if it came to that. I also think they should be let to fail, but there's no way the US GOV ever allows them to. | ||

There's different ways to fail, though: liquidation, and a reorganization that wipes out the shareholders. OpenAI could be liquidated and all its technology thrown in to the trash, and I wouldn't shed a tear, but Microsoft makes (some) stuff (cough, Windows) that has too much stuff dependent on it to go away. The shareholders can eat it (though I think broad-based index funds should get priority over all other shareholders in a bankruptcy). | ||
