Agree, in that case the development would probably be more incremental, focusing on what can be improved without hundreds of thousands of GPUs available, and moving inference maybe to a local-first setting. There would be no promise of 1000x profits from that, so maybe we'd get a more managable pace.
Thank you too. I have the same feeling, just the other way around - lemmy seems to have little patience for even slight positivity towards AI and LLMs in particular. Having an actual discussion is refreshing.
Regarding the profit motive, I concur, at least for the US side. I'm less certain about China, but I'm not very knowledgable there, so maybe the same mechanisms are in effect.
