Great points..
Curious to understand how AI will continue to grow if this is the trend. Assuming most valuable data is behind such firewalls. And whatever is public has been harvested, trained on top of whatever has been acquired illegally (this is a grey area).
Will it become a closed ecosystem without outside input?!
I bought a tablet from this brand few years back. Screen edges were non responsive to touch within months.
I'm guessing that's the situation for several others though there could be other use cases that's Excel only.
Instead of pressing Microsoft, it would probably make sense to force such vendors (SAP, Oracle etc) to release their office add-ons for Libre office.
That'll kill two very profitable birds with one stone.
But there's another key bottleneck. Even with all the money in the world, getting those machines that etch the RAM could be a multi year ration shop queue. And they're not making those companies every day!
Any prediction on when it'll end? Can Chinese companies scale up to scare the big 3 into increasing capacity or lose price control?
Elon makes it so easy to hate him as much as to admire. No comparison.
Interesting thing is, much of what AI is now regurgitating is human output, accumulated over the years. Model training dataset. Stuff like Reddit posts, even posts here?
If, say, AI output becomes THE 99% over the next few years, we will enter the era of incestuous inbreeding within AI -when it simply regurgitates its own output.
Wonder what will be the result at that point!
If they can offer it as choice then hopefully banking apps etc wont get knocked off. And we can have best of both.
I recall Power builder in particular it was the rage.
Given it's not launched and it's donor driven, I guess conserving developer time is a key priority? Dual track sucks lots of time?
