The LLM providers are making losses, but that doesnt mean no one is profiting. Cyber crime, social media revenue, propaganda networks. Lots of downstream users of LLMs are making money.
Well yea, but its very fleeting if the foundation is crumbling. And good thing it is, if the providers were getting what they imagined they would we would be fucked beyond belief.
The tech won’t go away though, the models will just be hosted on local GPUs. The audio and video generation might get more expensive or out of reach for most of us, but the image and text generation will be available to anyone with a basic GPU.
And sadly, cybercrime, propaganda etc are all backed by very deep pockets, so they may be able to afford to pay the real prices.
I dont think the genie is going back in the bottle sadly.
At least it isnt the worst case scenario, where most are addicted / chained to llm usage, nothing can function without it and where corporations could influence what users think on a whim by instructing the llm to act in certain way. Imagine if everyone was as crazy as some of the ai psychosis persons are and those who are not were considered to be the deranged ones. I hope we managed to avert that nightmare.
