"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.

To be precise, it is LLM bubble. We never know if other, more useful flavors of AI would need that much resources.
Well, I sort of agree but I'd be more specific: It's a chat LLM bubble where all the money is going to a few players that do that. LLMs for other purposes (e.g. programming) have already begun to diverge and I believe they'll continue to do so.
My hypothesis is that programming LLMs will reach a plateau soon where even the open source models perform within 90% of the most expensive, top-performing commercial models (e.g. Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Gemini 3). When that happens, the market will switch from a handful of big players to a whole lot of service providers that merely host all the open source models like Ollama Cloud does today.
