Fair, but in this context people are generally contemplating the need to replace the model with a new, much larger and more expensive model, not just refresh the training set.
It's partly about updating what it "knows", but more about keeping up with competitive pressure on capabilities.
- lovich 8mo agoI’m actually not familiar enough to know. Can models be refreshed for cheaper? I thought due to the black box nature of them that there would be no difference between updating and generating a whole new model. Maybe they can get to a “good enough” level where the next model isn’t 10x the price but if the business model requires ever increasing sizes to paper over the r&d costs from the previous set then I don’t understand how they would transition to profitability
- freejazz 8mo agoPeople? There's a guy upthread quoting the Anthropic CEO on how they view the value of increasing training against the offset of the entirety of the $35T worldwide labor market... It's not "people". It's the salesmen.
