"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I like Ed, but I don't think there's anything he could say or do that would blow up the AI grift. It just has too much money riding on it now. I think it will blow up on its own at some point. Until then, the most someone like him can do is to put out stories so that its demise is seen as obvious in retrospect once it happens.
I also doubt it'll be enough to "blow" the grift. "The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent". Granted, Altman, Thiel and other scum are already feeling the metaphorical knife edging closer to their throats, because investors are just like loan sharks.
I agree with you. I will say, the only way to blow this up would be to go for the investors. To scare them away. But like you say, the market is irrational. Hell, we see this with SpaceX and Tesla that are both grossly overvalued.
I am still looking forward to his revelations, because I like to watch pro AI gremlins suffer.
The companies plan to go public to let their early investors get rich, and leave dumb investors (and possibly pension funds obligated to buy things that are over a certain size) holding the bag.
the casino is designed to build and pop bubbles, anyone with the tiniest bit of experience in this rodio knows AI is a shitball.
the issue is...there is loads of $ to be made passing a shitball around, just a matter of hedging properly so your not holding the bag ultimately.
there's an old Soros quote that goes something like "if you find your in a bubble, your job is to jump in and inflate it as much as possible"
See my comment on that.
