- HDThoreaun 4y agoYou won't need $11B to create an LLM in a couple years. Stable diffusion has created the blueprint for open source large models. Sure it might be worse in some sense than the cutting edge ad bloated products, but some people will take that tradeoff.
- ilkke 4y agoMaybe nation-states? You'd just get a different kind of ads then I guess.
- MagicMoonlight 4y agoOnce a model is trained thats 99% of the work. Open source models or a hacker leaking a major model will be enough to compete.
- Gigachad 4y agoIt's been 20+ years and people still pay for Photoshop instead of using GIMP. I think it's safe to say that the commercial models will continue to be a few steps ahead of the free stuff so people will continue using them.
- valine 4y agoBlender is the counter example. Usage of Blender far exceeds the close source alternative.
- barrysteve 4y agoThhe favourable closed source alternatives fell behind in features. Rip modo.
