Does this opinion come from your actual experience or just from your ideological indoctrination?
Virtually all non-western businesses have zero concern about fostering racial diversity, they are all failures in your opinion?
If I can come out with a model a year later, and it can provide 95% of the performance while costing 10% as much to run, I think I would end up stealing a lot of customers before they had a chance to break even.
Take Llama3-8B for example, this is an 8 billion parameter model from 2024 that performs about as well the the original ChatGPT, a 175 billion parameter model from 2022. It only took 2 years before a model that can run on a desktop could compete with a model that required a data center.
Or is it the total overall cost of buying TPUs / GPUs, developing infrastructure, constructing data centers, putting together quality data sets, doing R&D, paying salaries, etc. as well as training the model itself? I could see that overall investment into AI scaling into the tens of billions over the next few years.
That's a really weird settlement.
... with hammers
Also the size of the model itself isn't the only factor that determines performance, LLama 3 70B outperforms LLama 2 70B even though they have the same size.
As I have just demonstrated my selfless pursuit of equality for all, naturally I should be placed at the very top of the new non-hierarchy.
So it kind of makes sense that they would go with a conservative model that was virtually immune to the AI porn / deepfake panic.
This is the case with pretty much everyone.
When it comes to companies that have an aggressive DEI policy, you may end up with employees more diverse in terms of race and sex, but they are usually all required to adhere to the exact same ideology. They only hire people very much like themselves, only on a different metric.
It's not explicitly Marxist, but come on, it does borrow quite a few key ideas.
That's kind of like saying Methodists are fundamentally Anti-Christian because they've deviated from Catholicism.
