I mean if I was one of the enterprises or someone that wants VC funding, I'd be pretty upset at the state of things. But if it's a bunch of huge orgs and investors sinking their money into a bet that may or may not work out, I for one appreciate that Anthropic (and OpenAI and others too) let me have a bunch of subsidized subscription tokens probably below their real value. Unless the bubble bursts instead of a slow cooldown after the peak of the hype cycle and something close to 2008 happens and the losses would somehow get offloaded upon the regular folks, then it'd suck. Seeing as programming seems to be one of the most widespread use cases https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48179021 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48179021 then what those large orgs should be doing is talk up developers and try to get more goodwill and maybe increase the dev salaries of those who can wield those tools (though realistically they don't care and devaluation of software development work will happen, coupling it to AI anyways regardless of how people feel about it). Except for them driving up the RAM prices. And also more or less meaning that Intel Arc B770 won't happen. Fuck them for that. Oh and also the people struggling with increased electricity prices and pollution, and water availability. In a functioning country I think there can be enough regulation and enforcement to either fine the crap out of them or put people in jail (e.g. for messing with the environment by using illegal generators and trying to exploit loopholes), though I don't think there's ANY regulatory answer to companies going: "Yeah, we don't care about consumer segment, we're just making hardware for AI and enterprise now." Tone of the article very much reads like a rant at some points. Guess the status quo will push people to that, with AI hate also being a massive social trend. I wonder what the economics behind DeepSeek and others over there are like, especially in the case if they distill Western models somewhat.
