how do we make sure that all the fanboys who fell for it are not in charge of studios, universities, government etc? because there will be another gimmick in the future

Hey, we’ve all listened to Schism on a loop before. Nothing dumb about that.

Certified Dumbass! Never forget to get your credentials renewed every half a decade! (I do the exact same thing; game recognize game 🤝)

Mom's gonna fix it all soon

The real magic trick isn't the AI; it's convincing VCs that burning a small country's GDP on GPUs to generate "cat in a spacesuit" images is a sustainable business model. We’re just automating the hallucination of profit.

(ridiculously paid dickhead keynote speaker at an AI industry conference voice): “Remember when Apple forced that U2 album onto everyone’s phones, & everyone hated it and was pissed and the album went on to become basically U2’s worst selling album of all time? What if that - but for *EVERYTHING*…”

People in my group chats calling me a pedantic luddite for AI skepticism certainly could have known

"How could we have known?" I knew the whole time, I've been yelling about it the whole time, if u bought GenAI up in any way that wasn't negative, I told you We've been telling you cuz we knew It stole our art, didn't hide what it did, & we all knew

It’s crazy when you talk with people who breath LLM even in software engineering. Like I’ve used it and it’s helpful for some things. It’s not magic the way people treat it. I haven’t come across an AGI brained person though. Bubble popping will be interesting.

Hoocoodanode Classic response after thing lots of people warned about happens

But breaking people’s brains makes the line go up 📈

Can't like this enough

I fully agree

This! Well stated.

I have you pegged as a death metal fan, as everyone with excellent taste is.

Twenty years ago, some economists were writing vividly about the subprime mortgage crisis that they could see coming. At the time, most of the response was to point and laugh. And we know what happened after that - the financial sector was reformed to make sure it wouldn't happen again... oh, wait.

I guess that, if the AI bubble pops, it will not be perceived as an AI bubble but more of a Tech bubble when investments in many other tech projects (robotics, aerospace, and basically all the domains that Musk has touched) start to dry out...

Savatage!

I thought you might find this useful, or at least mildly interesting. An overview of how AI is being used by corporations and businesses providing the broad spectrum of services we interact with, and often depends upon, every day. open.spotify.com/episode/0AYj...

these companies are a cult I tried to explain the economics of the app store with data and nobody pays attention to this at all no matter how much you explain it because it seems absurd even if you got charts.

...or you just remembered that brain skills are use it or lose i.e. A.I. makes you stupid and you can do everything youd have A.I. way better than it can and never ever thought about using it again.

The venn diagram definitely has a lot of overlap.

Its also a really old con, fake ventures for VC funding eate back to Gregor Macgregor in like the 1820s

every terrible thing can be gleaned from listening to the people trying to put genAI in the best light possible lol

I have depressing news for you then...... (Grifters gotta grift)

it’s just nothing like it, not even the same thing, not a hypergrowth or even a growth industry

It's pretty easy to piece together if you learned about groupthink and the sunk cost fallacy in high school like most of us

They'll ask this question and then move on to the next stuff without learning a single thing, the Kevin Roose way.
