mgostIH · x · 2026-11-03
- Responding to Victor Taelin's thought experiment (whether a small lab with a Fable-10-level closed model priced at Luna-5 costs could sustain revenue and valuation), mgostIH argues the business framing misses the point.
- He mocks the idea that alien ASI tech would generate "revenue" rather than control reality, and quips that Anthropic's explicit goal is to let its newly built god rearrange your atoms — not to keep selling tokens post-AGI.
