When this "AI" bubble pops, the men pretending they weren't pushing the hype, like "critics" whose position is "AGI is real but LLMs aren't the way," who were in eugenicist and "AI existential risk"🙄 circles, will get specials discussing what they saw coming, when its the women who actually told you so.

And then it will be rinse and repeat, onto the next grift.

@timnitGebru ...the AI bubble will pop, but it will primarily be a financial crisis, GenAI will remain and be used everywhere. Although maybe more responsibly etc

@ErikJonker what makes you think that the technology will stay prominent? The result of over-speculation may not take down the operations of the industry, no, but I do not see a way for OpenAI and others to remain profitable in their current state. The outputs of current LLMs are just not helpful when you consider the resources needed to produce those outputs, and companies have repeatedly stated they are not willing to pay for them.

@technotion ....many medium-sized LLMs are not that powerhungry, are already being implemented, also in on-premis/local applications. Also Opensource models are gaining momentum, surely things will change after a financial collapse but the technology and it's usefull applications (yes, they exist) are here to stay.
