The US business model for commercializing LLMs seems unsustainable to me. We are saying that they are creating trillions of dollars in value out of:

1. A model that for the most part is public and available to anyone. 2. A situation where the model’s success mostly comes from throwing as much data and computational resources at it as possible.

It seems that either of those assumptions could crumble quickly and unexpectedly. What if the AI paradigm changes completely and we no longer need GPUs? Or what if someone with enough determination decides to create a better model and sell it more cheaply, or free?

I don't know man, this looks scary to me.
