I don’t get this idea that AI will go away at some point. We’ll still have all the self-hostable models even if there are no newly trained models for a while. There will be companies that make money hosting those and selling tokens at a profit. We already have a pretty good idea what that looks like.
We’ll also have companies like Google and Meta where AI is not their main product, who get competitive benefit out of offering AI.
We’ll have companies trying to figure out how to update and train models more cheaply.
People aren’t just going to walk away from it all.
Very cheap uber rides went away and so could very cheap subsidized AI.
That said I personally think AI at the level today will get cheaper and probably run locally on boring hardware soon enough. FOSS code doesn't need to FOMO.
There is only one 'falling whale reference' and it is this:

Oh no, not again.
I agree completely.
