I'd wager a fair chunk of my money that money breaks OpenAI before OpenAI breaks money.

- pixl97 6d agoOpenAI != AI. If you were in 1999 you'd be saying pets.com = internet.
- ForHackernews 6d agoyeah yeah yeah. I agree that AI is and will be a very useful tool, it's just not going to be worth $30T like OpenAI/Anthropic are pretending.
- bena 6d agoI think this leads to an interesting question. What happens when the money runs out? Right now, a lot of money is going to train new models. And we need to train new models because they get gated by their training data. And models are only as useful as their training data. So let's say the money stops. Do we stop training models? Do we train them slowly? Do we accept the then current models as the limit?
- fn-mote 6d agoThe money is never going to stop. It’s basic economics. Well, the money will stop when the value of problems the LLM can solve is not increased by adding compute. Since current LLMs are getting quite good at solving problems, that might be a while.
- pixl97 6d agoGovernments, especially the US government has got a taste of how good LLMs are at hacking. This is something that has typically been very hard to get enough people that are good at it and willing to do it for a state. Now they can spin up as many hackers as they want. Look at how much we spend on single bombers, how many training runs can you do for that much?
