I would prefer if it actually explodes sooner rather than later
reply> I would prefer if it actually explodes sooner rather than later
replyThe idea, as far as I can tell from all the pro-AI developers, was that it will never explode, and the performance will continue increasing so the slop they write today doesn't need maintenance, because when that time comes around there will be smarter models that can clean it up.
If the providers are tightening the screws now (and they are all doing it at the same time), it tells me that either:
1. They are out of runway and need to run inference at a profit.
or
2. They think that this is as good as it is going to get, so the best time to tighten the screws is right now.
They could also do a plan 3 where they discourage others so they can use it to, say, rapidly build many new products but competitors would have to pay a fortune for the same luxury
replyJust spitballing.

replyUnlikely that they all decided to do this within weeks of each other. Still, like you said, you were spit-balling, not asserting :-)
