It's funny to me how wanting to regulate the AI industry is considered government overreach and centralization of power when the US, Chinese, and EU governments (among others) have been actively funding it, arranging the funding for it, changing laws to accomodate and promote it, and directing the development and implementation of it, the whole time.
There is, until now, absolutely no explanation for why any private person should be personally benefitting from the success of these projects, since none of the projects would be viable without everyone tacitly acknowledging that governments are underwriting their debt.
These have always been seen primarily as national security issues, not private science projects. That's why it's not treated as an asset bubble, even though these companies have no path to profitability: everyone knows their governments won't let them fail. Investing in AI is just another form of government asset, but with higher returns. Like investing in defense production.
This is not *Pets.com Part 2*, this is RheinMetall.
Just buy the fucking dip.

AI bonds 😂
Let’s not forget that all of these models were trained on a cumulative contributions of all people who ever wrote a word, shared data or code, or just lived their normal life
It is not about the companies, it is about the technology. There is no need to keep the companies afloat. It is the same as the DotCom era, we did not need that one exact URL company dealing in internet nonsense. What we needed, and what remained, was the infrastructure. Same thing here. I am not saying none of them will survive, but once the goal is in sight, the pioneers will be overrun.
AI is now became a weapon.
