I mean, I agree that a lot of money was spent training some of these models - and I personally wouldn’t invest in an ai based company. The economics dont make sense.
However, worst case, self hosted open source models have got pretty good, and I find it unlikely that progress will simply stop. Diminishing returns from scaling data yes, but there will still be optimizations all through the pipeline.
That is to say, LLMs will continue to have utility regardless if Open AI and Anthropic are around long term.

worst case the self hosted ai still has to be trained on stolen corpus.
worst case the self hosted ai still has ridiculous consumption of resources.
there’s a bunch much much worse cases than your worst case even touches.
you don’t even consider how it’s built on theft at all anymore do you?
fucking ai bros
