It's a very silly point to make to AI researchers specifically. If they don't work on those projects, the AI won't advance and won't magically be able to replicate the work in "one to three years".

- pdhborges 2mo agoCan you imagine scenarios that would make it less silly? I will give an example: - The AI researcher might be working for a lab or company with much less funds than the top dogs. Are they likely to discover something that is worth it before a bigger model becomes more capable?
- TeMPOraL 2mo agoThat company or their staff is probably focusing its funds on getting itself acquired/acquihired by the top dog.
- _aavaa_ 2mo agoAsk the researchers working on Deepseek. They seem to be doing pretty well for themselves. Just because a AI will be able to do it in the future does not mean that us plebs will be allowed to have access to it. That alone is enough of a reason for smaller labs to keep going; having a seat at the table.
