These people think they're on the verge of the most important invention in modern history. Etiquette means nothing to them. They would probably consider an impediment to their work a harm to the human race.
They do. Marc Andreeson said as much in his "techno-optimist manifesto," that any hesitation or slowdown in AI development or adoption is equivalent to mass murder.
It’s a waste of bandwidth and CPU on their end as well, “the bitter lesson” isn’t “keep duplicating the same training data”.
I’m glad DeepSeek is showing how inefficient and dogshit most of the frontier model engineer is - how much VC is getting burned literally redownloading a copy of the entire web daily when like <1% of it is new data.
I get they have no shame economically, that they are deluded and greedy. But bad engineering is another class of sin!
