Competition isn't a waste of resources, it's the best mechanism we have to ensure quality.

Furthermore, I'm happy to be in a golden age with lots of orgs trying things and many options. It's going to suck once the market eventually consolidates us and we have to take whatever enshittified thing the ologopolists feed us.

It's a wast if they are mostly all trying the SAME things. Which is mostly what is happening.

I want someone to spend a million on a Chess LLM so we can get a sense of how sophisticated they can get at non-linguistic pattern matching.

I want someone to spend a million on an LLM trained on Python program traces so we can try to teach it cause and effect and "debugging". Maybe it will emulate a Python interpreter and get highly reliable at predicting the outcome of Python code.

etc.

Gods if this isn't exactly how it'll turn out.
