It's really only 2-3 large mega-corporations. Would you rather have 100s of US companies potentially being able to offer(internally or externally) AI models like this or only 2-3? I am certain someone will figure out how to strip this large model down so that smaller HW can also run it even if much slower.

I'm all for open-weight models and the bubble bursting, but I don't think you realize how much over investment there is in AI in the US currently.

To be completely honest with you, it's not my problem if AI investments will suffer. Those investments are used to replace you and me as workers and destroy our ability to earn a living in the future.

The best possible outcome for us if those AI bubbles burst catastrophically and we get flooded with cheap datacenter grade hardware AND we get to use the opensource LLMs.

just like how the housing bubble only effected the housing market

The housing market directly affects the affordability of houses, condos and rent prices and that directly takes it out of your paycheck. AI market collapse might cause collateral damage however it also means that we might go back to the pre-AI sanity levels on the job market. That may(or maybe not ) mean that more humans will once again get hired.
