assuagering

Are you paid for work and able to pay for rent and groceries with cryptocurrency?

You understand that according to what you just said, economically the current SOTA is untenable?

Which, again, leads to a future where we're stuck with local models corrupting data about half the time.

I have had SOTA models stray from factual content in documents I provided them with within 2-3 prompts.

They haven't solved anything. They are just fast and look good doing what we ask them to do. But they corrupt data with a passion and to that hype just responds: "just give us 10x as much money and compute".

If your economic analysis depends on "one of those super-rich players to pay" for it to work, it isn't as much analysis as wishful thinking.

All the 100s of billions of $ put into the models so far were not donations. They either make it back to the investors or the show stops at some point.

And with a major chunk of proponent's arguments being "it will keep getting better", if you lose that what you got? "This thing can spit out boilerplate code, re-arrange documents and sometimes corrupts data silently and in hard to detect ways but hey you can run it locally and cheaply"?
