AI Good and Bad

[mat200]

AI .. open source and open weights .. good news and good for competition.

My guess MORE US companies will look at possible self hosting options if OpenAI and Anthropic keep charging so much

This is concerning. For the first time, a Chinese model Kimi K3 has taken #1 on the Frontend Code Arena and is scoring at or near the frontier on other benchmarks. Meanwhile America is tying itself in knots: politicians and bureaucrats are banning new data centers, piling on state regulations, and pushing for new federal agencies to pre-approve frontier models. This is how you lose the AI race. The rest of the world won’t play by our rules if we bog ourselves down. Permissionless innovation is how America won the internet and became the technological envy of the world. We can do it again with AI -- while addressing risks in a targeted way -- or we’ll watch our lead evaporate.

I’m not so sure I want us to win this race….

I keep hearing and reading that it’s the most important thing since toilet paper, but I’ve yet to read a simple explanation of exactly why and how other than putting people out of work, high costs, dubious performance in real world work, guardrails, making people intellectually lazier than they already are ..

I’m just not ready to hand my medical decisions, money decisions, legal decisions, etc over to technology that has proven thus far to be prone to lying, hallucinations, and costs beyond reality

It does make some killer Memes though..

One of hundreds of examples that AI is just another tool to be used how humans want it to be used...

When they control the AI, and you depend on it for honest answers ...... well, you lose

I guess AI will eliminate the need to leave your house/port/city…?

There’s that “C” word again ….

When it comes to historical facts or version of events, Geopolitical answers, AI is going to lie.

But for everyday use it's going to help a lot. In some 2 to 5 years time, even a opensource LLM running locally will be vastly superior to any frontier model.
