ADMIT YOUR MISTAKES. You’ll remember that at the core of Diminisher logic is the belief that people aren’t going to figure it out without me. Nothing fuels this cycle like the unrepentant mistake. When an employee makes a mistake and hides their misdeeds, it leaves the manager to question both their capability and their judgment and to assume the mistake will be repeated. This can place the manager on a trajectory to be overly prescriptive or to intervene at the first hint of an error.

Perhaps the clearest takeaway for model providers, so far, is that commercialization is likely tied to hosting. Demand for proprietary APIs (e.g. from OpenAI) is growing rapidly. Hosting services for open-source models (e.g. Hugging Face and Replicate) are emerging as useful hubs to easily share and integrate models — and even have some indirect network effects between model producers and consumers. There’s also a strong hypothesis that it’s possible to monetize through fine-tuning and hosting agreements with enterprise customers.

And for all practical purposes, you receive even better protection than under a two- or three-year “contract.” Security under those deals soon elapses to zero. But with an 18-month termination agreement, there’s always a year-and-a-half of future paychecks. Even if you become CEO at $1.4 million per year, you can still whip out the termination agreement you got when you joined the company as a zone manager at $102,000 ten years earlier. You’ll collect $2.1 million during the next 18 months…thanks very much!
