AGI is the perfect crystallization of technocapitalism though. You get extreme superstar effects, maximally granular frictionless distribution, returns to scale, exponential compounding… One corpo, one CEO, one training run to pierce the heavens! At least that's the plan.
Not sure what to think of this bagholder/acc My impression is that this is the general American excuse for price-gouging. "no no, see, we need the margins to fund capex and R&D, it's not rent-seeking it's FAVSTIAN" OK? How did that work for REEs? For anything you had lost?
Eh I don’t think anything is going to lead to commodification of AI in the near term but if you imagine that open weights are definitely decel. Reducing capex means less compute and less training runs. The acc position is to rush to AGI/RSI and leapfrog the entire tech tree Whether that is “good for the average American” is an unrelated question
