Again, the elephant in the room is that China is still pursuing this tech and they’re not signing up to any moratoriums. So, if they really believed this tech was dangerous and powerful, they’d be racing to develop it further before China does.
Right, they might just focus on big business, or even angle to become a vendor of record for the government. So, individual users might not really be of interest anymore.
There is absolutely no reason to expect that you can scale LLMs indefinitely.
They’d keep releasing them if there was money in it.
The whole bubble might be about to pop.
I expect we’ll start seeing stuff like Taalas where they print the model to the chip and other specialized chips like Xuantie C950 going forward. Neither of these requires DRAM, and Taalas is particularly clever since they just print the model right to an ASIC chip. So, the whole renting out LLMs business model isn’t going to last long I suspect.
yup, that’s a totally valid option if the costs for their bigger models are going through the roof
That’s also very possible. The US grid has very little spare capacity, and building out more will be a decades long project. So, if their newer models are more power hungry, then they might not be economically viable even with all the investor money being thrown at them.
In the end, the nazis won ww2 thanks to the US.
That’s why it’s essential to seize the means of vote production.
after all, voting is the only way libs know how to participate in society 🤣
It’s just a province of the US isn’t it?
Yeah siege warfare by western fascists really hurt them, but now that China and Russia don’t give a fuck things are completely different. Meanwhile, what’s your excuse for the hell that is occupied Korea which has had every advantage? https://dialecticaldispatches.substack.com/p/the-wsj-just-confirmed-what-socialists
TLDR:
The US military government in Korea (USAMGIK) from 1945 to 1948 was a textbook military occupation under the Hague Convention of 1907. The US Army landed on September 8, 1945, dissolved the nascent People’s Republic of Korea (PRK), banned the people’s committees that had sprung up across the south, and ruled by decree for three full years. The occupation did not end because the US “willingly” handed over power. It ended because the US unilaterally installed Syngman Rhee as president in 1948 after a UN‑supervised election that was boycotted in the north. And even then, the US did not leave. By Rhee’s inauguration, US forces still numbered 16,000, and they have never withdrawn entirely.
In 1994, South Korea regained peacetime operational control of its own military. But wartime operational control (OPCON) remains with a four‑star US general to this day. Under the current Combined Forces Command structure, if war breaks out tomorrow, every South Korean soldier would automatically answer to an American commander without Seoul’s consent. It continues to be a 70‑year‑old military subordination that the US has repeatedly delayed transferring. As of May 2026, the US insists on “conditions‑based” transfer and opposes a “politically convenient” timeline. South Korea’s president himself is pushing back against this delay. And a foreign general holding final command over a sovereign nation’s military in wartime is, by any definition, continuing military occupation.
Oh for sure, no argument there.
Right, I’d argue that China proves you don’t need massive data centers for training. And yeah, I think something like Qwen 3.8 is more than enough for tasks most people do. There are a lot of tricks you can do as well with the harness, where there’s a lot of attention is shifting now. And it’s a lot cheaper and faster to develop better harnesses than train new models. I expect we’ll start seeing a shift towards neurosymbolic systems before long where the LLM acts as a stochastic component within a symbolic logic engine.
