In the 1993 movie Matinee, John Goodman plays a small-time producer of 1960s kitschy and gimmicky horror movies. He drums up interest for his movies through P. J. Barnum-style tactics like having actors to stage a protest against the movie having a "nurse" at the door requiring the audience to sign medical liability waivers in case the movie "gives them a heart attack."
I'm reminded of this movie every time I see an article where someone talks about the dangers of AI.
Is someone seeking to cash out before the #AIbubble bursts?
Finally. #aibubble pump-up slowing down, #aibro revenue projections getting shaky ๐จ
BTW where are all those GW #datacenters? ๐

Now I'm just a humble human being, but if I was running a department and they blew through their yearly budget by April, and it came as a total surprise to them...why would I still be in my job?

lol, has a product launch ever gone as badly?
Everybody hates this shit, fuck off with it!
โYou're starting to see the foundations of the trust in the AI hype machine truly shake now as awareness dawns that the fascism-coddling tech titans have wildly overstated what AI can actually do, dangerously overspent on sentience that isn't coming, aren't capable of being transparent about how much any of this actually costs, over-estimated public interest, and ultimately "undercharged" customers for services most people don't actually want to pay for.
And, geniuses that they all are, they've tethered the entire shitshow umbilically to the economy. Tech billionaires are just starting to figure out that the public rage they're seeing now is just the tip of a very large iceberg, since the full concussive impact of the fascism they openly encouraged hasn't even completely arrived yet.โ - @karlbode.com
