I’m not all that convinced on the regulation part.

Ultimately it’s all about investing money to create real assets that generate cash flows. One can side step regulations to some extent whilst developing a product (nobody cares/notices until you are actually growing fast) and then deal with regulations later. Uber already showed this and the leading AI firms are following the same act - having ripped off a lot of content but nobody threw a fit until a legit asset came out of it.

The funding allocation is a reflection of different cultures really.

I’m from the UK but there’s no way there’s the same density, drive, and hunger to take risk, to the extent that you find in US. Also there’s a lot more synergy in the US vs a fragmented Europe.

It’s a load of nonsense.

They essentially want a bunch of stuff and most importantly funding from the EU and using the FOMO angle to get them to act. This of course is not on merit. They see that no other lab in Europe really exists and are trying to seize an open opportunity.

So? They could basically open up an auction for bidding on compute with mythos.. that’s what you do with a scarce resource. I’m sure many large enterprises would be willing to pay a lot to have first dibs.

There’s a whole lot of traffic they are servicing that comes at a cost with no revenue in return. Why would you choose to forgo potential revenue for this?

Yeah the only thing that will be left is to scale up compute and pray it creates escape velocity. Which frankly has been Sam’s whole thesis in raising money.

What’s the point in saying you built something beautiful and not showing it?

Share it. I used Claude earlier to test out its design capabilities and what I got as output was flat and tasteless.

All models are variable in quality simply because they need to do some financial engineering to make the financial standing somewhat healthier. There’s a lot of fear in the market and need for signalling around the viability of the business of llm models and generating returns on invested capital.

Another piece of evidence that shows OAI has no vision and taste re. Project selection.

Describes this whole LLM hype really. Will be jarring if it ends up being that the value created (in terms of revenues) is mostly around software production.
