OpenAI, a non-profit AI company that will lose anywhere from $4 billion to $5 billion this year, will at some point in the next six or so months convert into a for-profit AI company, at which point it will continue to lose money in exactly the same way. Shortly after

      I mean, it probably will eventually, but that has nothing to do with LLMs, nor is it a technology that I want to exist.

      I can definitely see a world where lobbyists for automakers and insurance companies create such a financial and regulatory burden, where only the wealthy can afford to drive their own cars, if they choose to. Where as everyone else must rent or lease their self driving car as is if it’s a IaaS or SaaS subscription.

      But none of that has anything to do with using LLMs for the tasks they can accomplish, or telling people to stop bitching about them not being able to complete the tasks they aren’t good at, or even capable of.

        I was saying that this is investment money wasted on an empty promise. Like the full self driving feature

          Who’s talking about investing…? I’ve exclusively been talking about what LLMs can do now, today, for free (aside from energy costs).

          None of what your throwing out there has anything to do with what’s being discussed here. It’s a red herring.

            Are you living under a rock?

            Both openai’s llm development and Tesla’s FSD projects have been given billions in investment. Both, as far as we can tell, are an empty promise.

              No, I’m living in this thread. I’m talking about very specific issues related to LLMs, that I’ve highlighted ad nauseam.

              Reread if you’re confused.

              If anything, it shows that you believe in the concept of “AI” way more than I do, as you’re conflating LLM and FSD.

              I don’t believe in AI, it doesn’t exist. Just specific advanced machine learning algorithms, some better than others, and some all smoke and mirrors. But here, now, I’m talking about LLMs.
