"The gains are aggregating towards Chips, Clouds and Entrepreneurs. "
Are the gains aggregating to entrepreneurs? It seems like every just a matter of time before the function of the big models overtakes any entrepreneurial idea other than hardware and the models themselves.
AI overtakes software, finance, and distraction industries (content generation of any kind - text, image, video, multi-modal). Distraction industries (social and regular media) are a time waster and brain frier for most humans who often consume to escape their world or decorate /fill their time.
In software the UX is the big burden AI will overcome. Not having to deal with all the typing and clicking frees up more tasks and energy for deciding what needs to be done. Brain energy.
Distraction industries, like sugar, become obviously tart when oversaturated and AI is quickly pushing that boundary. Once people realize they’ve been served a pacifier to the brain in every free minute, they will start thinking more and consuming less.
So now AI frees more human brain energy towards what is actually needed - what problems need solved for humans, not for overloaded interfaces or zombified content consumers.
Examples: Trustworthy, efficient and safe transport for kids to and from enrichment activities. Education of others on tasks that could earn them a living. A better healthcare experience, because 60% of the admin paperwork is AI automated and health workers can talk to patients instead of typing. Organizing people to do more things together to clear the social-media-generated loneliness epidemic. Making new, interactive experiences people would pay to do, especially with friends. People ask for more things to look forward to. Not more things to type. AI is a new hands-free take on UX and UI.
obviously someone shadowy and non-corporate (eg. an artist) just needs to come out and make a model which includes promptable artist/producer/singer/instrumentalist/song metadata.
describing music without referring to musicians is so clunky because music is never labelled well.
of course saying "disco house with funk bass and soulful vocals, uplifting" is going to be bland.
Saying "disco house with nile rodgers rhythm guitar, michael mcdonald singing, and a bassline in the style of patrick alavi's power" is going to get you some magic
so this model can only ever understand music which is classified, described, labelled, standardized. and recombine those. sounds boring, sounds like the opposite of what (I would like to believe) people listen to music for, outside of a corporate stock audio context.
