I wish they would just open the floodgates. The vultures will realize that their extractive problems won't be solved by a generative model, no matter how "multimodal" its inputs are. Of course, that won't happen, because that would require certain charlatans admitting that their models won't hold up in half the places the even more greedy vultures are vying for.
Anyone who acts all casual, as if there is not a constellation of vultures circling AI right now should consider themselves 'off-grid'
