The scale of being "tested" clearly convinced Meta (beyond OpenAI's scale) [0] HuggingFace [1], Perplexity [2] and unsuprisingly many others in the AI industry [3] that require more compute than GPUs can deliver.
So labelling it "untested" even at Meta's scale as a customer (which exceeds OpenAI's scale) is quiet nonsensical and frankly an uninformed take.
Denial everyone. Amazon will have the same profits running on AI and robots with minimal expenses. All the other companies will follow. Wake up to reality.
There is widespread denialism in the tech community about this. Most think they will never get replaced until they get a call from the manager. It's called normalcy bias.
In the 90s, I remember explaining to my college econ professor that the cost of developing software would decrease to zero within 30 years. He kind of got it but then kept encouraging kids to study computer science for the money.
I saw the writing on the wall the first day in the office. Microsoft was already dumping loads of R&D money into software development automation. They were very motivated. Everyone hated software developers because we made too much money relative to people with important positions. And, we were too weird. To them, we were 'blue collar'. I figured with exponential progress it wouldn't take long. Pretty much my strategy after college was bank and invest and get out as early as possible then go hack on my own projects until my end of days.
