As long as the consumer base is being caught flatfooted at the idea that one of these companies is making a big step towards AGI they can continue to have just enough compute to convince the consumer base that they have made substantial steps. Also part of the value of the open-source community is that if these companies can cultivate them they will provide the compute to run the AI software themselves, no cloud necessary
On that last point, there is part of me that wonders if something like this happens:
1. OpenAI et al build huge proprietary models
2. They buy tons of computers to run them
3. The other models all get pretty good; there isn't really any differentiation between them; etc etc.
4. OpenAI et al just become generic cloud providers because they have tons of computers.
The cloud providers seemed to sort of back into that, in part because they had to buy a bunch of computers to run their very big computer-based businesses. AI companies don't seem all that different.
Taking pulls, oof, that sounds brutal. Though from Googling, the biking thing you go from front and fall to the back? The sprint to the front was always so bad; there's something about running and then having to go faster that seems so hard to me.
I don't see the problem with indian run.
But over here, it's called "satellite run".
Yeah, I have no idea why it's called that, but I kind of assume anything like that here has some very problematic origin.

I remember that ____ run. Today bicyclists call it a “paceline” or “taking pulls”
