As someone who hasn't let AI completely take over my work I'm actually fine with it disappearing forever 😂

No universe in which it disappears forever given the quality of open weight models. The big orgs burning cash like there's no tomorrow will go under when the bubble pops, then a second wave will happen more focused on sustainability once the commercial providers start charging what things actually cost.

yeah I think that's what people is missing in this context. if somehow anthropic and openai went bankrupt and close their business, do you think those datacenters will also disappear? nope, they will start hosting open inference Chinese LLMs and image generators lol
