And the whole AI industry is holding up the stock market, while AI has historically always ran the hype cycle and crashed into an AI winter. Stock markets do crash after billions pumped into a sector suddenly turn out to be not worth as much. Almost none of these AI companies run a profit and don't have any prospect of becoming profitable. It's when everybody starts yelling that this time it's different that things really become dangerous.

Yep, exactly.

They knew the housing/real estate bubble would pop, as it currently is...

... So, they made one final last gambit on AI as the final bubble that would magically become super intelligent and solve literally all problems.

This would never, and is not working, because the underlying tech of LLM has no real actual mechanism by which it would or could develop complex, critical, logical analysis / theoretization / metacognition that isn't just a schizophrenic mania episode.

LLMs are fancy, inefficient autocomplete algos.

Thats it.

They achieve a simulation of knowledge via consensus, not analytic review.

They can never be more intelligent than an average human with access to all the data they've ... mostly illegally stolen.

The entire bet was 'maybe superintelligence will somehow be an emergent property, just give 8t more data and compute power'.

And then they did that, and it didn't work.

I agree with everything you said, but that doesn't mean it can't be very useful in many fields.

I mean, I also agree with that, lol.

There absolutely are valid use cases for this kind of 'AI'.

But it is very, very far from the universal panacea that the capital class seems to think it is.

When all the hype dies down, we will see where it's actually useful. But I can bet you it will have uses, it's been very helpful in making certain aspects of my life a lot easier. And I know many who say the same.
