"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.

No. The US GDP is $32 trillion, China is at $20 trillion. Germany is $5.5 trillion, Japan is $4.5 trillion.

The US is roughly 25% of the world's GDP on its own. China is approaching 20%. China is growing, the US is shrinking. But, the US is still huge. The Strait of Hormuz is 20% of the world's oil supply. We've seen recently what happens to the world's economy when 20% of something goes away. If the US economy tanks, the world's economy suffers greatly.
