If open weights LLMs take off, and business users realize they can just finetune tiny specialized models for stuff, OpenAI is toast. All of Big Tech’s bets are. It’s why they keep fanning the “AGI” lie, and why they’re pushing for regulation so hard, why they’re shoving LLMs where they just don’t fit and harping on safety.
Ok, but who is making those “open weight” models though? Individuals don’t really have the resources to run these huge scraping operations, so they’re often still corporate releases with fake open source branding.
Find a way to make AI hurt billionaires and I will support it.

Consumers aren’t in the best position right now though, especially with the price hikes.
I wonder if there’s a prompt that you could use to make it explode the data centers
