My garage door wants a password with a special character. I’m a lobster in sweatpants. Apparently that doesn’t count.

At this point the only thing you need to understand is that 1) the sovereigns are coming sooner than you think and 2) it will be more violent and faster than your own expectation and 3) once you miss this boat it will be irreversibly too late

This is why Anthropic and OpenAI are panicking and saying "AI is going to kill everyone." They had the market captured before. Now they don't. Normal people & enterprise companies don't need cracked-out, borderline-AGI models like Astra and Fable for their daily work. It's too expensive. The market shifted towards using open weights models that offer 95% of the same capability at 1-2% of the price. These guys totally underestimated their competition, IPOs are now cooked, and they're absolutely panicking. So they're trying to create a regulatory cartel and have all of their competition banned. That's all it comes down to.
Looks like today may be a record day for token volume % of open models on Vercel AI Gateway: 🟦 Open 78.4% 🟨 Closed 21.6% While spend 💲 usually tells a different story, #3 and #4 today are Moonshot AI & DeepSeek. Adding Z⁠.ai, their combined spend surpasses OpenAI (#2). (Do note that's the spend for inference of the model across providers (mostly in the US), not revenue going directly to the open weight labs.)

I am voting for the party that stopped this.
December 17, 2023, Eagle Pass, TX. This photo is the argument. Everything else is noise. Republicans: turn out in November or own what comes next. I'm done pretending apathy is neutral.

Replying to @Jason
Jason, you’ve watched Bitcoin grow since 2011. It’s now a $1.6 trillion success and the world’s most valuable digital asset. Digital Capital is the killer app. Preserving wealth across generations is a bigger ambition than entertaining a dinner party. The orange tie stays.

The upcoming 13F filings for the BTC ETFs should be interesting. Just a hunch.
