"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.

AI bubble could burst and take global economy with it, IMF warns (www.theregister.com)

AI investment has helped keep markets and economic growth ticking along, but the IMF fears the boom could quickly turn to bust if the promised profits fail to materialize. With tech giants borrowing billions and investors piling into the same handful of companies, a selloff could leave more than just Silicon Valley nursing a hangover.

The whole AI bubble is just one big bet: "AGI is around the corner and will replace all white collar jobs"

Now, LLMs get slowly better but aren't AGI and it's unclear if our current approach is even capable of reaching AGI.

Sadly the US went 'all-in' on the bet and everyone except the ultra rich will feel the pain.

AGI will never happen with LLMs, but if you think in terms of a human brain out can be effective language and output and image recognition module. But there's no there there. Something else entirely is needed for true thought and sentience. But llm ai is already sufficient to translate machine thought into language sentences. You just need the spark of life that can actually think for itself.
