Right now, we have AI models that are good enough, what we need is for someone to focus on making them affordable, because even the Enterprise level for Github Copilot doesn't let you do anything remotely resembling the level of usage I was at before they changed their business model. I used to talk to Copilot all day long and I didn't really do anything manually anymore, with excellent results. It coded a lot better than I ever did and since it freed me from mundane work I could focus on making an excellent OOP architecture with great performance and security. Including refactoring legacy code to bring it up to the level of quality you can get in minutes. Now instead of minutes everything takes me entire weeks. Ah the joys of old-fashioned artisanal coding. After 3 years I barely know how to code anymore.

This.

Additionally, there are some people in the comments here who are straight up inventing things in order for the story to make any sense.

I wouldn't at all be surprised if this was yet another medical startup where there's an aim and a goal and a business plan that involves the technology coming into existence or gaining capabilities surreptitiously due to the business plan having a need for it.

The fact it's running on a statistical system doesn't automatically mean it knows which of the token interactions it has represent, for example, fractions. There's no reason to believe it'd be better at actually performing deductive statistical analysis any more than to to believe it's using actual integers to perform arithmetic.

That is to say... even if it is incidentally ok at it, there are going to be some absolute financial disasters in the foreseeable future that are due to humans making bad decisions on the back of inferred data that they believe is deduced.

If it is national strategic importance, why are these companies overseas? Why isn't it nationalized?

National security is corporate security, but when you have trans-nationals, governments only serve as whores of the corporate class.

Beyond lamenting the potential loss of markets, what difference does war make except moving headquarters?

Can't have it both ways.

There's a certain elegance that the modern AAA games industry would willingly do this to themselves in the name of absolute profits, and will be wiped from the memory of this era.

History is written by the victors, and publishers have already lost and are too dumb to realize it.

Sadly he's right, and you can see the beginnings of it in these very comments.

Folks who reduce everything to a dichotomous battle aren't going to see nuance here, they're going to see "scientists think they are better than god". The fact no scientists needed to consult with or even think about an authority on their god anywhere through this process just makes it worse.

It might be a ridiculous claim that shows their hand, but they're already in denial about the relevance of their religion too.
