I will say that Israel is many times more evil than Hamas.
But Hamas definitely is evil, too.
They torture and kill Palestinians to maintain power. They had even smuggled a Yezidi slave girl into Gaza.
Of course, I do understand that they are resisting oppression. And that is justified. And I also know that a lot of the propaganda against them is false, such as the beheaded babies thing.
But there are enough credible reports of them doing really shady stuff.
You could have made this same analysis in 2000 and it would be equally valid.
Yes, the business world is willing to pay big bucks to reduce labour costs and that business case is solid.
But we already see that success is not determined by the size of the model, but by the data and providing and processing that data in a smart way to the AI. And the companies that are successful in this area are model agnostic. They can, and will, switch to cheaper to run models that are good enough for their purposes.
So the dogma that whoever has the biggest model wins, just doesn't apply. AI is already hitting diminishing returns.
Once the investment money pumping the hype is gone, there will be a glut of capacity and a heavy price competition, which will drive down margins.
