It's not a fear of "AI communism"; it's a fear of competitive market capitalism

They already offer “superior models at a premium price” but the issue is that they are not that much superior than the open models and in some cases are even worse(I.e Anthropic Fable refuses to fix a login/signup page, not to mention any kind of actual opsec work). You already can do more with open models than with proprietary models because you can’t tweak the proprietary models to your liking. Just as OpenAI and Anthropic went from 0 to a trillion they can go back just as fast.

The AI Demand Bubble

>The actual risk that the author does not even broach upon for investors... the thing that will actually torpedo this massive investment are the open source open weight chinese models that commoditize the entire endeavor. If you don't have a monopoly, you cannot rugpull and 6x the costs on the consumer. This is the thing: let's just reason it out. What if OpenAI and Anthropic both fail and end up in bankruptcy? What is the impact to the hyperscalers? ...they just start selling open weight model inference to businesses, or whatever other entity picks up the scraps from the collapsed labs. It's abundantly evident that there's major demand for compute, and that it isn't going anywhere.

Show HN: Product analytics (and evals) for agent sessions on your MCP

does this conform with the OpenAI/Anthropic telemetry/data collection terms? (they have some "weird" language around chat data and specifically around telemetry (though mostly around memory/history rather than current conversation);

Harness engineering for self-improvement

That's weird I thought she was having health issues the past couple months and that was why she was stepping away from Thinking Machines. I guess she was just interview prepping to lead RSI at OpenAI

> I've never touched the Chinese models (no particular reason) but it is having an impact as the frontier companies are pushing the price down as a defensive measure I warn you that it is addictive. I am using DS and MiMo on Pi.dev, and I don't see myself going back to OpenAI. They are criminally cheap in a way that I don't care to spend tokens. That leaves me space to experiment. And in terms of capability, well... I use Sonnet and Opus at work (provided by my employer), and I see no difference in terms of what I can achieve. Well, besides Claude costing dozens of times more.

Apple is getting this wrong

Apple: OpenAI brazenly ignored our lawyer when he contacted them about this treacherous industrial espionage. OpenAI: Sorry but your lawyer never really contacted us because he was incompetent and maybe even racist. More entertaining than anything on TV /popcorn Which makes me wonder, is it normal for giant corporations to very publicly lob lawsuits after just a couple of failed attempts to connect with the other party?

AI's debt binge can't last, hidden borrowing reaches $1.65T

AAR says that U.S. freight railroads collectively invest approximately $25 billion per year in capital expenditures and maintenance. By comparison, OpenAI got another $110 Billion alone for their next round of funding. U.S. private AI investment climbed to $285.9 billion in 2025. the difference here is that we know how the railroads work, and how to make a profit off them -- PE squeezes notwithstanding. the sports car I drive probably came here via train. meanwhile AI uses more electricity than Bolivia to make poorly formatted Powerpoint Presentations for useless meetings.

The AI Demand Bubble

The failures of past doomsayers are important to keep in mind. It’s hard to say “well, but we know things they didn’t know at the time, but this time that won’t happen.” I will observe, however, that Uber’s revenues come from consumers. Consumers are never going to be willing to spend enough on AI to justify OAI and Anthropic’s spending, even if a single company captured all of their demand. They recognized this and pivoted to software engineering and enterprise customers. These are much more sophisticated buyers than someone trying to catch a cab or get a burrito delivered, and more able to be patient or expend resources to find a better, cheaper provider. It also bears mentioning that if any particular AI lab manages to survive and succeed in the way Uber has, there will be several mult…

Apple says more ex-employees may have taken confidential data to OpenAI

I think it's notable that Apple is vague about what was actually stolen and what OpenAI has actually received. I read into these PR blasts, lawsuits that Apple is sour about losing employees to higher salary opportunities, and is likely using lawsuits instead of higher salaries to retain them.

DeepSeek V4 Flash on a Single AMD MI300X

They claimed that OpenAI and Anthropic have positive gross margins. I don't think there are many credible claims saying that's not the case (at least for API usage)?

I don't think it's Kool-Aid, I think it's "Apple has notoriously low salaries for a FAANG and OpenAI will probably have a trillion-dollar IPO". You can see right through Altman's charade and still want to work for him for equity.

He's saying the demand is artificial because it's all from Anthropic and OpenAI but they have revenue from paying customers of about $74 bn and $49 bn annualized respectively. If those went under the customer demand would still presumably be there. And it's not like those numbers are static - they are probably up several times on a year earlier. In July 2024 Anthropic's annualized revenues were ~$0.5 bn when Ed wrote >And yes, that sound you hear is the slow deflation of the bubble I've been warning you about since March... >How does GPT – a transformer-based model that generates answers probabilistically (as in what the next part of the generation is most likely to be the correct one) based entirely on training data – do anything more than generate paragraphs of occasionally-accura…

It's probably not as much of a joke as we want to believe, given the current administration in power and the potential 5% stake in OpenAi via Kushner's firm, and how SamA can just pull the "national security...Chinese labs something something" argument along with some bribe money and potentially make this whole thing disappear. With the corruption so blatant and on public display now, and with how much the labs have been trying to sell "too big to fail" to the government, the standard rules no longer apply when it comes to anything involving these labs.

There is a lot of demand for AI denial, but nearly everybody who is capable of writing even semi-coherently on the topic recognizes AI denial in general as cope, and has too much moral dignity to propogate their coping denial for personal gain. So the ~one guy who doesn't gets around.
