thestryker To me this sounds more like setting up a situation where it would be in the government's best interest to bail out the company should things go sideways than anything else. It's not that ai is going to disappear overnight or anything of that sort, but the big ai companies haven't come up with a viable business model yet. If investment collapses the companies solely relying on ai seemingly will right with it. Reply

If investment collapses the companies solely relying on ai seemingly will right with it. They know exactly which market segment is profitable. They could be profitable if they cut all free usage and slowed down research and training, but then they'd also leave space for the competition and stop growing. In a way it's a race to the unknown, it could be the top or the bottom, but either way whoever stops first takes the biggest blow, even if stopping is the only path to short term profitability. Once they started running down the hill there's no stopping without injury. Reply
