I don’t understand why Bill Gates still feels the need to do marketing work, he is already rich he doesn’t need to do commercials and blatantingly shill for a product for money like this.
Also the ides that anyone should listen to Bill Gates about needing or not needing government regulation, nationalization or trustbusting is actually insane.
@cstross @supersquirrel @yesman But who’s buying the latter? Those already willing and able to destroy are already stoking the AI money furnace. What do the rest of us get out of consenting to stoke it, too, against our own best interest?
@Yolfen @supersquirrel @yesman It’s aimed at the press and politicians. LLM model progress is visibly stalling so the next step is for OpenAI and Anthropic to go “Booga-booga-AI DOOM” and push for a regulatory environment that freezes out small upstart competitors/Chinese AI firms/self-hosted models. It’s all about creating and exploiting a rental monopoly.
