"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.

Jesus, dude... Their fucking business model is theft and they still can't make a profit...
Lemme go buy some shares right now! ๐
I am legitimately surprised that these companies aren't throwing lobbyists out there to eliminate IP laws to account for this. It's almost like many of the companies which rely on IP laws to make profit are also those which have to break them to save money by replacing jobs with AI....
They don't need to. In sarcastic words of Cory Doctorow, it is OK because it's through the app.
Illegal unregulated hotels? It's OK because it's through the app. Illegal taxis? It's OK because it's through the app. Plagiarism and IP violations? It's OK because it's through the app.
They didn't need to. Copyright enforcement was unequal enough that it only applies to regular people. Facebook downloading illegal torrents doesn't count for some reason.
More likely they'll just start bribing CEOs of big IP holders to look the other way. There's already too much lobbying interest in keeping IP laws draconian.
Only put a few tril in there bro. Don't go wild.
Right now or in the very near future (i say 3-6months) anything to with AI and their hardware suppliers will peak. Probably best to jump the ship now, wait for the crises to kick in and buy all the stocks you can with the money you gained selling AI.
The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
These last ten years the market has been a stark raving lunatic. You cannot predict it's behavior reliably with the forces at work, including the belief government will bail out any crash, the fed will move heaven and earth to help big players across the board when that happens, then just all the uncertainties in our bloody minded leadership.
Too big to fail
Just like some billionaires already divested from AI
Yes, but short nhem. Puts on their souls.
