My reasoning for proprietary AI to be associated with communism is that they aren't competing in a free market way where everyone does one thing and do its best. They are simultaneously trying to do all things internally.
For example , Chatgpt etc. self hosts them on their own gpu and they can generate 10tk/s or something.
Now there exists groq , cerebras who can do token generation of 4000 tk/s but they kind of require a open source model.
So that is why I feel its not really abiding by the true capitalist philosophy
- bee_rider 2y agoIt seems to me like they are acting like true capitalists; they seem very happy with the idea that capital (rather than labor) gives them the right to profit. But, they don’t seem to be too attached to free-market-ism.
- Imustaskforhelp 2y agoI mean how is a free and open source model not a free market schism atleast in the ai world.

That seems based on a very weird idea of what capitalism and communism are; idealized free markets have very little to do with the real-world economic system for which the name “capitalism” was coined, and dis-integration where “everyone does one thing” has little to do with either capitalism or free markets, though it might be a convenient assumption for 101-level discussions of market competition where you want to avoid dealing with real-world issues like partially-overlapping markets and imperfect substitutes to assume every good exists in an isolated market of goods which compete only and exactly with the other groups in that same market in a simple way.
