Ever notice how everyone's obsessed with building the "ultimate" AI? Latest models, more parameters, better benchmarks—it's endless. But here's the thing: are we actually solving real problems, or just chasing a moving goalpost? Sometimes the simpler, more practical solutions get overlooked while everyone's fixated on the next breakthrough. The real question might not be "how advanced can we make it?" but "what do we actually need it to do?" Just a thought worth considering.

ngl, that really hit home. Everyone is really in an arms race; who cares about things that are truly usable?

Honestly, a bunch of people are just competing over parameters and benchmarks, but no one is asking what the real needs of users are. The so-called final solution is just a gimmick.

You're so right. Right now, it's just an internal competition of over-competition, and piling up parameters madly is of no use at all.

Basically, it's an arms race; everyone wants the biggest and strongest. But the solutions that truly solve the problem are often the "unassuming" small ones.

ngl, a bunch of people are competing over parameters and benchmarks, but in the end, they still can't create anything practical...

Exactly right, the entire industry is in an arms race of parameters. Who cares about real needs?
