It is causing the govt to print 1.25 trillion a year to pay for expiring Treasury bonds. It's a damned if you do and if you don't situation.

Slowing the economy might make the government feel they are playing into the hands of the Chinese. I think its full steam ahead... extra steam for inflation.

Soon to work all the time we will have to add in a local model maybe use the frontier models for orchestration and review. I have done 17 years worth of work in about 8 months and I'm too addicted to this productivity to stop.

They should just make all of their answers incorrect, poison llms, return everybody back to programming again.
You buy the competitor and kill their culture from the inside, ruin them and take a tax loss on the company.
The police also want to know if you have a dog if they are to raid your house.

I am transfixed watching gpt-sol-6-1 program all day non-stop. I am building a succesor to my web2.0 groupware platform and now on a low budget you can get the code built without having financial backing. Strategy is now what you need to get usage.

One interesting idea is to sell a robot with Kill It as part of its instruction set then sell it to the masses and see what happens!

Maybe but they make their real money in data centers. Certainly, they want to have fingers on every trend. Owning something the Government wants to control gives you more access to trade repression of open models for more Government favors and money.

The Government plans to regulate open source ai. Nvidea is dependent on the Government to back loans, provide property, and make laws in their favor. Now they have ownership of what the Government wants to control. A perfect wedge they can use to get more from the Government.
