"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.

I think this is probably not a good way to look at it.
The company you work for, or the company that supplies the company you work for, or the company that manages your 401K etc are all invested in this bubble.
When I say that the growth of GDP of the USA used to be 70% consumer spending year over year and it's now something like 60% AI, I want you to understand that consumers aren't gonna have money to make up that 60% when this bubble pops. Because all of us will be detrimentally affected when it happens.
A lot of us don't know where or when the blow is going to come from, and somehow we think ourselves insulated from the effect this bursting bubble will have. But that's simply not true.
The prices of everything that we need to live and every convenience we rely on to make our lives easier is now tied to this bubble. Things are going to get more expensive when it pops (even if it craters the market on some components etc).
