In the mean time, I try to enjoy the freely available LLMs for quick summaries on technical topics before the inevitable enshittification ruins them forever.
The current AI companies are burning money with an exit strategy of replacing office workers with robots. If/when that doesn't happen, they'll have to jack up prices and figure out another business model. Uber had the two-sided market and network effects for a true enshittification play -- riders and drivers are both trapped -- but LLM companies haven't figured that part out yet. Do they go for ads once they have enough users and brand recognition? Hoard GPUs and training data (maybe through licensing deals) to create a moat?
Anyways, it's fun while it lasts.
What I will say is that AI will either fundamentally transform the economy for all of humanity, or it will fizzle out. I really don't see any in-between.
