Here's hoping that a lot of rich assholes lose a lot lot of money.
They will stay until they are not free.
Even at 20 or 100 dollars they are free, they cost much more than that and investors want their billions backs.
@Aedius @ErikUden They wonโt still go away. Plenty of companies make enough money to still pay for them.
Also new techniques like ternary emulation on binary cpuโs will open up the lower end again.
But big expensive GPU cloud systems as an answer for everything are probably a dead end, that I agree with.
I hope it will remain where it is useful, but allowing ceo to connect to the production database and perform some cleanup in the table hopefully won't stay.
@ErikUden this always happens with new or technologies that become widely available.
Tech becomes available:
-> Early experimentation
-> Rapid growth
-> Scaling challenges
-> Adaptation and regulation
-> Stabilisation
Then, the next wave begins.
The last few years have been dominated by AI-driven tech and LLMs, but eventually we will see their use stabilise into something more normal.
We might be seeing the start of that now, but whether we like it or not, AI is here to stay.
@r3spawndbae "AI is here to stay" is an odd response to "the bubble is about to burst", because one does not invalidate the other. Yes, AI is here to stay, heck, AI has been here for quite a while, and it's gonna continue to be here.
But AI the way it is pushed these days, is not in any way sustainable. This is more than just a "scaling challenge", nor does it compare well with "how things always are", because seldom has logic been tossed out the window like now.
The "dotcom" disaster is the closest, and seem bleak in comparison.
What "AI is here to stay" will end up meaning, no one really knows. What we do know is that "whether we like it or not" is not something we should settle for.
Big tech does not have our best interest in mind, and they should not keep on shaping how tech is made available to us. We have to take back control.
This entire AI craze has all been about then wanting to remove control from us. The next wave should not be theirs to decide.
@ErikUden
@ErikUden Now the rest!
Like watching a dumpster fire ๐ฅ
@ErikUden Wellโฆ it's a step in the right direction.
I'll keep the champagne bottled and corked until I see the likes of Anthropic and OpenAI file for bankruptcy.
