The AI industry is a grift so big that it's really hard to explain it to people not familiar with the tech industry.

Yes, Google is perfectly aware their AI-powered search is way worse than their "classic" mode.

Yes, Apple knows their integration with chatGPT is flaky and ads nothing useful to their products. And

They.

Don't.

Care.

Because the goal is not making their products better, the goal is to ride the hype wave so the investors are happy and their stock price keeps growing.

That's almost entirely what's powering the AI industry.

It's a multibillon dollar grift. One so big and so obvious that most people think they have to be missing something, that they don't understand something that makes everything to make it makes sense as a business.

No. That's everything. It's pure snake oil selling.
@javi I thought crypto was a bubble & would be gone by now, yet here we are. 🤷‍♀️
@Nazani @javi This is crypto rebranded. They even get to reuse the same hardware (GPUs) and the main pusher (nvidia) gets to keep selling them.

@dalias @Nazani @javi the really fun part here is that the nft mining gpus are basically useless in this bubble. Everyone needs the latest and greatest, and Nvidia keeps cranking new models out to feed the junkies.

You could buy a house for the price of these on release day.

@ATLeagle @dalias @Nazani @javi So we’re still growing the electronics graveyard. That is a fun part indeed.
