Also, hyperscale models are opinionated and don't like certain topics. Home-grown AI doesn't have those objections.

Unless you create or review the training data and train your model yourself, home grown AI models do have those objections.

Exactly this. If you hear people talking about investments around the Thanksgiving table, its time to bail. All the smart people got in months ago and have left, they are just looking for bag holders now.

Why would someone ask a person to explain an AI response they didn’t understand? Like, you’ve already offloaded the most important part from a human brain (getting a fucking answer)… Why wouldn’t you at least then ASK THE AI TO REPHRASE AND SUMMARIZE the response you didn’t understand? That’s the thing it’s actually good at doing ffs.

I recently read a decent article (in Danish mind you), focused on the positions some volunteers had from getting more fans to their local football club... Because they now posted stuff on Facebook.

Then followed up by an expert on engagement, and statistics on about half the population felt AI image generations to be off putting - And a fair chunk of the remainder not really caring, and a small minority finding it cool/useful.

That experts main position, was the human touch was lost and the volunteer of the local football club would most likely get more people to stadium if they asked a bunch of 2nd graders to draw match day posts.

Because it would genuinely connect to people. So yeah, a lot of smaller businesses and volunteers are currently having a feeling all of this AI gen is giving them more traffic and attention, but in reality they're getting more attention because they went from doing nothing to doing something

The amount of food menus with it on is ridiculous. If you sell food you want it to look good, appetizing etc, so making it look like plastic tat is counter effective.

Second I immediately think they either don't care or are uninterested in their product. That makes me question how much they care about their food, safety quality taste etc. It's an immediate no for me.

I popped the email into chatgpt and asked if it wrote that email and it said it did, lol

It doesn't work that way tho

Isn't a beer bar just a bar?

it's so bizarre to me that people who work with food don't realize that the ai trash is producing images that are REVOLTING, do not look like food, and actively deter people from their products.

you'd be better off with a half lit shitty polaroid of actual food than putting that trash on your branding, so much of it is nightmare fuel

A usual ramen spot I've been going to for the past few years for some reason replaced the old images of the food on their menu with AI-gen ones and it looked so weird. I saw it last time I went for my usual, but I kept looking at the art and like a Lovecraftian horror the longer I looked at it the worse the details appeared. It literally affected my appetite because psychologically I couldn't help but think I was ordering some freak-ass food as depicted in the new ai-gen pictures, and the ramen just didn't taste as good to me that day. And I don't think I'll go back anymore :(

It’s always an “it’s inevitable” argument.

I saw a meme recently- WinRAR is more profitable than OpenAI. Kind of funny to think about

An investment that would pay off if the tech industry went to hell would be Put options on QQQ (an ETF that tracks the NASDAQ-100). You have to get both the timing and the drop correct, and better funded groups with much faster computers AND the ability to make trades to prop up the market while they unload their shit will be competing against you (every options trade has an opposite side and most of them expire worthless). Watch the movies Margin Call and The Big Short for research as much as playing the lottery can be researched (they're good movies so it's time well spent anyway). Make a movie night out of it and watch The Other Guys which was directed by the same guy who directed The Big Short. Watch through the end credits.

I didn't read the article because gizmodo, but as other people here have said, Dr. Burry (he's played by Christian Bale in The Big Short) often thinks things are going to go south, and there's usually reason to think so, but in general as Warren Buffett could easily have said, "stonks only go up." NVDA, AAPL, and MSFT make around 15% or so of the entire world stock market and around 20% of the US market. Nobody's going to let them collapse and even without the AI craze they still have all the other stuff to fall back on. Thumbs will go on the scale to an extent even greater than the 2008 collapse.
