Debate: if weak generalization is asymptotic, frontier models will keep commoditizing faster
fkasummer · x · 2026-10-23
bayeslord argues that if weak generalization is an asymptotic property of 'good models,' natural market conditions will continually commoditize the frontier at an increasing pace, at least for distributions seen so far. fkasummer adds that the resulting 'nature of complementarities' deserves attention, implying value shifts to complementary layers rather than the models themselves.
