You may be missing my point. THEY aren’t being kept in the dark. YOU are. Anyone involved in the project signs an NDA. Then the relevant experts can’t talk about it.

This is big with legislators too. They are taken on tours under NDA. They see there is no water use, they listen to the noise levels, they see the new substation provided to the community. But they cannot tell the constituents those specifics. Only “it’s not like the news is claiming”.

And the news is not the customer. No one in the industry cares about bad press. Customers won’t stop buying. So the build out accelerates.

Those results are still tightly controlled by NDAs. They need time for FDA approval, patents, etc. Then time to get to market. These are not released in scientific papers anymore. It’s protected because it cost so much up front.

AI is not just LLMs. Much of AI is machine control, and bioinformatics.llms are the foam on top of the ocean.

The PC became mainstream in 1981. Why didn’t the Internet become big for another 10 years?

How much is the cure/treatment for Parkinson’s worth? Or other intractable medical problems?

What about a device able to manipulate the containment field of a fusion reactor?

These are the reasons why everyone is buying the compute services - there are dozens of moonshot-grade problems that are suddenly possible to attempt. Many will fail, but whoever gets that one success will gain astronomical benefit.

I’m sure OpenAI will immediately change all of its branding.

People who speak of starting a business tend to also think like “pending millionaires”. That are just waiting for their chance. They identify with the scattered success stories instead of the most likely outcome.

Most CEO types are not founders - they worked up the system from the inside. They buy founders out once the hard work has been successful.

Other options include various anarchist and socialistic varieties to varying degrees, Non-capitalistic systems, and others.

Also, know that things change. Not too long ago a factory job was a mode of slavery. Then unions and reform came and it became a key to a well-of and stable future. Until it wasn’t. Advice is often regurgitated wisdom from a past that is no longer relevant.

Free-market economics has been abandoned by both American parties. They are moving into a command-economy mode. Economic uncertainty is inevitable.

I have no experience with it, but my questions along a similar vein point to DigiKam.

Same, but Jerboa.

Or a Werewolf of London?
