Scared? They just tune the balance because they see that the currect level of investments won’t provide a nice ratio of profits. Scared… Scared of who?

They aren’t scared of shit. They aren’t even risking their own money on any of this shit.
Scared of losing some of their money
Scared of the proletariat that will come for their heads. What is happening in the USA right now is the same as what caused The French Revolution and we all know how that turned out.
I get how it feels that way, buy Americans have a LONG way to go before they know anything like that sort of poverty.
Depends where you are in America. Might be a rich country but there remains a lot of abject poverty.
Scared of the proletariat that will come for their heads
Americans won’t get to that stage until they abandon electoralism and realize No Kings has been neutering their political outrage
Not scared enough
Not anywhere close.
Only thing that scares them is the market crashing before they can cash out.

Have any of their super models lived up to the hype?
Of course this one won’t either.

Also the ML you’re talking about is being treated like the red-headed stepchild, despite being the only type that has yielded real benefits. The vast majority of this investment appears to be in LLM systems and facilities to run them.

You’re right that it is fairly opaque. I am largely speaking from what I understand to be the sentiment of the AI companies themselves. All of the media and material put out is is in advancement of and advertising for agentic tools, which are LLM-based. I find that the other ML tools take such a distant backseat that most people don’t know what I’m even talking about when discussing non-LLMs.
I love how all their proposed solutions are similarly disconnected from reality. Like “Let’s just give the poors a big break on income taxes”. Income taxes on lower-income families are already low, plus if nobody has a job in the AI dystopia then what do income taxes matter?
“Let’s make some consolations through the government, so they can pay for these things, with the money that we are avoiding paying in corporate taxes.”
There’s also another option that none of them seem to be pushing: if AI is as disruptive as they say, there’s always the option to pull the plug. That they won’t even consider this choice suggests that their appeals to the toiling masses aren’t in good faith — which at this point should be obvious to just about everyone.
There’s still this other question: Who will it be who pulls these plugs?
If SCOTUS wasn’t complicit maybe they would find replacing human workers with AI illegal like China’s did.
I found an interesting summary of court cases regarding AI’s infringement of authors’/artists’ copywrite.
