A lot happened in AI last week. Some of it will fade. What won't: a shift in who controls the most powerful technology in the world, and who gets left out.
What would you say about the future of the truly frontier models? Are we heading straight to the cyberpunk fictions depiction where only the riches government and entities possess the truly frontier models that the public would never know exist?
I think there’s some incentive to go there by some holding the keys, but society (paying users; paying companies; European and other governments) will probably hit back enough to avoid the worse scenario to take place. But it’s not something far-fetched. Sam Altman mentioned it a bit in the form of “compute” economy. Max Tegmark book “Life 3.0” actually makes some predictions that are in that ball park of frontier models shaping society in the name of a few (and he shares one positive scenario for that, and many really bad scenarios). oh well
More of this please 😍
Following AI news is tiring and this could my cure!
