"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.

The closest American company seems to be Google. Even then, they aren't trying to sell AI to extent that other companies are. That seem to me selling more trimmed down and optimized AI solutions integrated with existing products.
Apple has spent 5 years selling products with neural cores in them, they are well placed to add functionality that runs on device
They were also smart enough to realise a few years back that the tech was half baked and held of until now
Google has the capital to try it out without leveraging too much debt I assume. They were wildly profitable before, so it makes a bit more sense.
I am really referring to the companies that are mostly invested in AI. Whether that’s the developers, or just investors with majority holdings. Either way, what’s the plan?
All the AI companies have the same plan that other tech companies had. Set VC funding on fire until you shrink the market to the point where you can set monopolistic prices. The problem right now with AI is the same problem Uber and Lyft have; the market won't pay the break even price.
