> I can see that there are only 3 companies competing for the duopoly or monopoly realistically: OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. I could see people saying this in 2022, but now? No chance. Chinese models keep demonstrating that SOTA can be approximated for a fraction of the cost. The innovation out of these companies keep showing diminishing returns, with a greater emphasis on the tooling and application layer. Having the right workflow with the right data is more important than having the right model. We could freeze AI now, and I'd bet good money that the current state of things is good enough to - not be first - but competitive for the next few years. Even if we do end up with a oligopoly situaiton, it'll be less like Microsoft in the 90s and more like Microsoft now where they just give out windows for free, have support for WSL and the focus is on cloud services rather than their OS. | ||

Those Silicon Valley companies shills start donating to select donation campaigns with hope to ban Chinese LLM models. Can you imagine? Your children being exposed to the propaganda that these LLMs will be inevitably tainted to spew? | ||
