Can we just start a class action lawsuit against the US government? US Citizens v United States. Gross negligence in handling taxpayer funds would be a good start. Who's in?

It has already begun: https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/26/26-179/418476/20260817105050423_20260817-082402-00002063-00005221.pdf

And it is over property rights. Started in Texas courts, where it was predictably dismissed. Appeals to the Texas Supreme Court went unheard, putting the entire members of the court under potential future prosecution, then appealed to federal Supreme Court.

The federal supreme court added it to the docket just 5 days after filing. That is unheard of. Less than 4% of all filings even make it to the Supreme Court (usually pushed back down to local jurisdictions). And those that do take months to be docketed. This took 5 days.

So one way or another, a major test of law is about to occur.

I don't have my hopes up, but I am very interested to watch nonetheless.

It is exoected that a hearing will occur sometime between November and March (per typical timelines).

AI corporations borrowing like there's no tomorrow and subsidizing tokens (although I'm not really sure if it's a true subsidy or the API is just overpriced). It can pay off for them, but they need to...

I think the war for individual users is already over for them.. just a matter of time before streaming expert models allow frontier-level AI on typical consumer hardware.

But for businesses... tougher call. They will definitely lose on the harness front. Businesses are already discovering the power of a custom agent tailored to their way of doing things. But the models? Things like Bedrock make it very attractive for them over managing their own shared models with rented GPUs.

But many businesses that I've talked to are really concerned about per-token costs. So we will see.

I am not saying everyone will move to local inference. I'm saying corporations are burning money to get customers with hope of then raising prices to stay profitable. And the moment they do this, they jump ship to anyone else who's willing to burn money to have them. It's actually amazing for ev...

I haven't used Gemini models in a year and a half 😬

A game of chicken.

I think OpenAI, Anthropic, etc hold more leverage than any given state. What do you think would happen if they said, "fine, we just won't serve your state."

The state would fold so fast...

Only problem is that closed-weight companies need federal stimulusand regulations to survive long term against open weight models. So they will likely comply.
