I think that the disparity comes between people that are too in the weeds believing that their use cases apply to everyone. The reality is this world is made up of people with a wide array of different needs and AI is yet to proliferate into all usage applications.
Sure some of this comes from a lack of education.
But similar to crypto these movements only have value if the value is widely perceived. We have to work to continue to educate, continue to question, continue to understand different perspectives. All in favor of advancing the movement and coming out with better tech.
I am a supporter of both but I agree with the reference in the article to both becoming echo chambers at times. This is a setback we need to avoid.

The difference in the AI case is that companies that are actually able to use it to boost productivity significantly will start to outcompete those who don't.
That's why, unlike crypto/blockchain, so many mainstream companies are pouring money into AI. It's not FOMO so much as fear of extinction.
Asia does need to do something about this, so many beautiful countries there. I greatly enjoyed my time there but I did notice the air quality difference. It affects all differently but to see what is occurring on a more material level in the human body is startling.
It will interesting to see if it runs into issues in syntax of sentences. What am thinking of is specifically between Spanish and English, sentence structures often look completely different. How will this real time interpretation be affected?
I feel that the details regarding the type of the model and the purpose it serves are underrepresented here. Yes existing models will get cheaper over time as they become more obsolete but to be at the forefront of innovation or models costs will only increase due to the these mentioned bottlenecks. Also there is the basic law of supply and demand coming into play here. As models get more advanced more industries will be exposed to them and see the potential cost savings compared to the current alternative. This will further increase demand and with further innovation, there will be further capability in turn again increasing demand. I only see this reversing is you are not at the forefront of innovation and many people using these LLMs at this point are close at least compared to many "normal" people and their understandings of LLMs.
