It's clear that progress is incremental at this point. At the same time Anthropic and OpenAI are bleeding money.

It's unclear to me how they'll shift to making money while providing almost no enhanced value.

Yudkowsky just mentioned that even if LLM progress stopped right here, right now, there are enough fundamental economic changes to provide us a really weird decade. Even with no moat, if the labs are in any way placed to capture a little of the value they've created, they could make high multiples of their investors' money.

It's an echo chamber.

It is - what? - a fifth anniversary of "the world will be a completely different place in 6 months due to AI advancement"?

"Sam Altman believes AI will change the world" - of course he does, what else is he supposed to say?
