    If you read AI critics, you will see people presenting solid financial evidence of the failure of AI companies to do what they promised. Remember Sam Altman promised AGI in 2025? I certainly do, and now so do you.

    Do you have any concrete evidence that this financial flop will turn around before it runs out of money?

      Assume all the big AI firms die: Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Meta. Poof! They’re gone!

      Here would be my reaction: “So anyway… have you tried GLM-7? It’s amazing! Also, there’s a new workflow in ComfyUI I’ve been using that works great to generate…”

      Generative AI is here to stay. You don’t need a trillion dollars worth of data centers for progress to continue. That’s just billionaires living in an AGI fantasy land.

      Whether AI can reliably detect issues and generate working code is a whole different thing from CEO’s delusions and hyperbole to game the market. Their financial success is also irrelevant, in fact it’s better if the sub/token model fails and we are left with locally ran models.
