I guess they were right.
Hang in there, AI hype is just started, I think within a year things will be a lot better, assuming there's no WW3 or Credit Suisse creates another domino effect.
This time it does seem quite useful, but I think in a few years it will be commoditized and offered from all major cloud vendors, probably even get to choose the models.
Yeah for inferencing, sure. Try designing and training the models. It takes whole organizations to do that effectively.
I think it's a Tesla situation. Tesla did very well, and I believe OpenAI will be too, but everyone else will catch up and then some.
Once the first model rolls out, knowledge from that model would eventually disseminate. And it doesn't even need to be on a human level, industry and academia experts could probably make very good guesses on what's going on behind the curtains - and follow up. And we already have plenty of good models on our hands, some even open sourced.
