>I get it. You don't feel ownership over someone else's AI. You don't feel involved, you don't feel like you have agency.
You don't _have_ ownership of someone else's ai, and that comes with real risks.
Security risks, privacy risks, business risk.
They might rug pull you, they might charge you more, or like atrophic, silently corrupt the answers, or code...
The labs are happy to jump on any emergent capability the scaling and training impart: generate prose, teach you things, cyber security, design, code, etc.
Do you really think that the frontier labs won't turn a popular capability, or trend they notice, into a first party tool if the ROI seems there? If it's your own private ai in your datacenter, you can keep it all secret, and not lose your business.
On the bitter lesson you're right of course:), wish I had a super computer to just scale that instead.
