How do you expect to make a difference without having a mega-server farm to train the Next Big Thing?

From what I’ve seen so far the ‘impactful’ models take tons of cash to initially train, tons of cash to continue to train and tons of cash to provide “free” access to the public to get the hypetrain chugging along.

Not criticizing but this is what I think people should be worried about, the “future” locked behind a handful of super rich corporate firewalls. Not even mentioning they have real-time data feeds on virtually everything they can pump through their AI for whatever purposes they can dream up. And I’m not even paranoid…
