  Exactly. It isn’t hard to spin up an LLM.

  I agree corporations will lobby for a legalized monopoly so they’re able to extract rent.

  Generative AI will only grow to replace more and more labor. Labor is most corporations largest expense. Participating in the economy as labor is how most people make their living.

  If AI replaces labor, regardless of who controls it, it will change the world’s economy by putting most people out of a job.

  We are in the infancy of generative AI. For you it has already replaced an entire sector of the workforce: artists. For others it has replaced them wholesale. For others it just assists. Hollywood was trying to legally own actors voices and likenesses to replace them.

  This technology is not standing still. It will be great at a lot of things in the future. It could be next month. It could be next year. It could be in a decade. Whenever it arrives for your job it will be cheaper than you. There will be no going backward on this technology.

  I suspect next year’s base will have a revised version of this year’s processor. The iPhone 15 Pro has an A17 Pro. This is the first A Series chip with a “Pro” label. I don’t expect something “Pro” to make it into the base model.

  What will change between the A17 Pro and the A17? Who knows. It might include the upgraded USB controller though.
