Well if you can come up with a more elegant way forward, one that doesn’t require all that hardware and money and should, therefore, by definition be within the reach of the critics of “big” AI, I see no reason why it’s superior qualitative results wouldn’t be appreciated.

I'm not a critic! But I can see how my comment, meant to be a bit humorous, could be misinterpreted as being critical.

Personally, I think the friendly race to build bigger models is a great development. As I mentioned above, it seems to be leading to models that generate text/sequences that are qualitatively much better.
