I'm not pointing out they'll take your secrets and sell them to the competition. I'm pointing out they will _be_ your competition. The same way Amazon basics competes with it's business interests.
I've no doubt, Palentir's forward deployed engineers will essentially operate like the borg and turn companies into defacto subjugated properties.
So yes, they probably spend half theor budget trying to keep suspension of disbelief.
This is no different. Its like a single ant trying to redefine what a ant is. Typically with catastrophic results.
Go nuts with it, but we're at the SciFi dystopia test with: how do mega corporations even form? Well, this is certainly the plausible reality, they just start aggregating random income streams because their product is essentially the only thing that makes the business profitable. Without it, it can't compete.
Hopefully this sounds skeptical, but I don't see how you can have an independent business and be entirely dependent on third party for your operations.
Look at the adjusted COL numbers. Whatever you think they're paying money for, it's not the people directly responsible for teach children.
This is intentional degradation of communities.
Anyway, schools in many states are funded by property taxes; when properties arn't owned by the people going to the school, that school degrades. So essentially, the more wealth "creation" happens via property ownership, the worse the schools become.
The idea this has anything to do with DEI other than the poverty via racism that had white people cementing pools in the 60s is dense and myopic.
Brexit was the first to burst and despite their support of Ukraine, can at any moment capitulate to the ghost of nationalism and delusional escapism that is "white power". Americas on the verge of sinking further into the same. With those two entirely preoccupied, of course europe is next and already has the same underlying current.
If i can take a 5% software and add the 5% i need, why would i not.
Theres certainly a ingrained value prop to everyone knowing excel, but if i just use it to twiddle the same formulas, then why do i need excel.
This basically sorts everyone into wizards or people without need if magic.
The idea that everyone needs to be a wizard was convenient SaaS sales tactic and business largesse.
AI allows more powerful wizards to enable better fit tailored software. It doesnot need to make everyone wizaeds. The same way excel never made everykne VBA programmers.
Once I've got that, then likely there's just going to be an infinite agent loop that adapts to whatever the current needs are.
So far I've gotten up to about 6 million tokens in a constrained max 128k window before something shits the bed. Still working on it.
Subagents have some place still, but I think you're right in that they're papering over a tool use problem. For larger labs, they're primarily a resource reduction, where smaller context models can be tied to equipment with a reverse proxy load balancer. For large context agents, you can't use a load balancer, your context must live on a single hardware device.
So while I agree you can optimize a single agent, what's forcing subagents at the cloud providers is the reality of load balancing.
But...thats the point of governments and unions.
Anyone whose buainess wont be competitivw without a cloud model is going to lose their business.
Any government letting cloud models consume its private infrastructure is yielding its authority to private intetests.
Apple is deeply in this camp; all it takes is one MBA's desire for bonuses to break the damn.
Corporations in unregulated waters are only as solid as the last captain.
I recommend people not recreate cult language as satire.
It's not how you are using them. They're setting up complex agent->subagent webs that exponentially consume tokens, and "vibe" coding things via 5-10-100 agents just scaffolding whatever. There's no amount of human information that would stop that.
The problem with tokens isn't that they can't track it, it's that the labs can seemingly change it's definition anywhere in the stack regardless of what it technically means to the LLM you are using.
That's essentially what "effective altruism" does to these people.
America is a fat sloth of an economy and generates value by doing nothing and letting capitalists then own the shit out come.
Imvestors should be better. We dont need new models to do this, its now the hardware cartel propping up prices. Break that dam and moats gone Sam.
Nvidia, openai, anthropic; they know it now. 1 "frontier" model is for the 1%. Is equal to 10 models for ths majority.
