But that’s just not reality. Of course they want us to believe much of the hype. But there’s also a strong degree of truth behind it. AI tech is already being integrated (or planned for) in systems, products and infrastructure all over the world. That won’t just stop because early AI business models implode. It will simply evolve differently. I think our focus needs to be on finding new economic models for human existence, because AI is clearly going to replace tens of millions of current …

No, wha'ts happening is that people are being fired with the -expectation- that AI will do their jobs. These companies are in a Wile-E-Coyote moment as they dangle in the air thinking they can fly with their cardboard wings.
They desperately want to fire people and have the work done anyway, but I don't believe it's sustainable.
If I'm wrong? Then the entire economy will implode, and they'll be selling to no one.,

@shoq I agree that we will be figuring out how to adapt to AI for a while. It’s not the first or last disruptive change but it’s happening much faster than previous changes. The people claiming it doesn’t work are arguing against a lot of people finding it does actually work and is still getting better rapidly. E.g. OpenClaw has issues but it’s the top project on GitHub, didn’t exist a few months ago, and there are improved clones of the idea like NanoClaw popping up.

@adrianco is it possible that the people saying it doesn't work have different use cases from those saying it does?

@dkalintsev Possibly. There are also people who refuse to use any AI tools and are stuck on the way they used to work a year or two ago, rather than what works now.
