    Pivot to AI! These companies are going to be in for a rude awakening when the AI scam collapses.

      What else is there? Hardware has become a commodity product and server side software is mainly modified FOSS.

          Uhh… what?

          Could you pretend I don’t already know what you mean and explain what you’re trying to communicate a bit?

              Thanks. That makes sense

              Who would be Enron in this scenario? I’m thinking of openai or Nvidia but can’t imagine they’re at risk of much. The game seems far more rigged in favor of corpos than 20 yrs ago. Can’t imagine how they could ever fall off at this point. Or, say a company like Netflix which I’m is using tons of algorithms…

              Wait a min. Isn’t AI now used as a catch all for any and all tech laymen don’t understand? Do you specifically mean llamas are being overhyped (had to leave the autocorrect version of LLMs)?

              Sorry, if I’m slow to the anti-AI party. It’s been hard figuring out what’s sensationalism, what’s contrarianism, and what’s legit nowadays (or maybe I’m just getting dumber :D)

                  You’re makin great points!

                  I was actually just hearing about this Karla Ortiz copyright case. Sounds like it’s going to shine a big ol spotlight on how these systems work and how exactly they copy other people’s work.

                  I wonder if it could make things so prohibitively expensive it’s no longer worth investing in for most companies. At the very least, it hopefully gives artists/content creators some kind of legal protection

        Copying everyone’s work and dumping out shitty versions of it. Using people behind the scenes to give your software the feel of having true intelligence. It is a con job.

          Ah, gotcha. I totally agree in that case, but that also sounds like standard capitalism. lol. And that shit is going strong!

        Companies involved in delivering AI solutions are over-selling it. In the long term it will produce much less value than investors have been led to believe. A hype train, if you will.

      The bubble just keeps growing. CEOs and hedge funds pumping it will be long gone when this thing pops
