I think you misread this. It's not controversial, it's happened before and it's well understood. The wave itself is temporary (months). When it happens it's becoming worse. Quickest visual explainer is graph 1 in this paper from decades ago. We knew it was coming. Now it's here. https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/1999/...

Comment Re:the real answer is openAI hires incompetent peo (Score 4, Insightful) 76

These people ... are clueless as to what it to takes to build a safe frontier LLM. Worse, most dont even know how to develop code and are just having AI do it all for them.

I think that's closest to the underlying reason. Their staff know how to build in safeguards and sandpits. But they do not have the time to do it to the deadlines demanded of them. They are *instructed* to use LLMs to specify even their security infrastructure, because business. A visiting engineer from the 1990s might be shocked. But we know what we've done.

Agreed, and that's a part of the same news story. The popular nineties Beatles cover-act Oasis tried to leave less of that money on the table for touts or scalpers to help themselves to. Some people hated the redulting high ticket prices, the media got all over it, and that response was a contributor to this current legal change.

Your views are compatible, and my view is that you're both correct. Venture capitalists, in common with many other capitalists, optimize for short-term profits, which can stifle long-term planning and innovation. State intervention is capable of making industries uncompetitive. I think that both have contributed to, for example, solar panels no longer being made either in Germany or the United States.
