I think that sooner or later GPT 6 and higher models will become too expensive for most people, and they will moderate their ardor and start introducing restrictions on use without all this circus like, look, we have a perpetual motion machine…

All the models are already too expensive for most people. Most people don’t pay to use them, billionaire investors do. When the AI bubble bursts our retirement funds will collapse and billionaires will simply move money somewhere else.

  Well, yes, something similar has already happened, it seems that even some rich people, because of one such bubble, passed away when they lost everything.

I’ve been thinking this for some time. It just seems completely implausible that companies like OpenAI will continue letting the world’s denizens use their product for free, what with the ruthless material requirements involved in it’s distribution and upkeep.

To me it seems clear that the right to intellectual property and the right to work or contribute meaningfully to a workplace (as if that were actually a right) are currently being blitzscaled. I.e. these guys are running their companies at a loss to allow their product to become a necessity. Once that’s achieved you will no longer have the option not to use it and they will be able to charge whatever they like.

We really need to begin pressuring states and governance to protect us from the predatory business models of these venture capitalists.

  Well we don’t have much time, we either need to act now or we could end up in something like 1984 and Mad Max. Although I’m not entirely sure, I’m afraid that we will really end up in complete shit due to crop failure, hunger and, of course, death and poverty, so we may well live like in those works. There seems to be a theory that the world is not run by governments but by corporations and governments are like puppets for the rich.

  They will just let people use some micro model that’s basically as good as the current mini one and call it a day
