It's a reaction to the constant drum beat of doom marketing:
- "our product is too dangerous to release but we can't be bothered to prove its capabilities working in public hacking competitions"
- "our product is going to kill everyone"
- "our product is going to take all the jobs"
- "we have a $40T addressable market"
- "in a few days AI will be able to improve itself without human intervention and it's capabilities will hocky stick to infinity!!!"
Followed by absurd financials that spin massive losses as "getting in on the ground floor" before historic profits arrive based on the doom marketing above.
No one is saying AI is going away soon). But OpenAI and Anthro will go the way of Netscape when the market finally stops blindly accepting the doom marketing. Anyone with eyes can see LLMs will create historic increase in productivity among knowledge workers AND it will be a commodity. The massive profits frontier labs need to justify valuations are not coming.
There are AI bears and AI bulls. It's easy to cherry pick extreme and clearly wrong statements from each. But if you actually believe the bears are the more extreme/wrong overall you just aren't paying attention to what the bulls are saying.
