[FRIAM] Cory Doctorow on AI hype vs Crypto Hype

[Pieter Steenekamp]

I am very excited about the basic idea that neither Google nor any Big Tech
company has the Moat as per the hackernews reference above.
Very interesting around this is the interview with James Wang of Cerebras
James Wang about this where he makes a strong case (in my view in any case)
that in future open source large language models are going to be much more
prominent than those of Big Tech.

I quote from the description on Toutube about the interview:
"Scaling laws are as important to artificial intelligence (AI) as the law
of gravity is in the world around us. AI is the empirical science of this
decade, and Cerebras is a company dedicated to turning state-of-the-art
research on large language models (LLMs) into open-source data that can be
reproduced by developers across the world. In this episode, James Wang, an
ARK alum and product marketing specialist at Cerebras, joins us for a
discussion centered around the past and the future of LLM development and
why the generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) innovation taking place in
this field is like nothing that has ever come before it (and has seemingly
limitless possibilities). He also explains the motivation behind Cerebras’
unique approach and the benefits that their architecture and models are
providing to developers."
