weird how sora AI generated videos were the future until they weren't. first domino to fall in the coming collapse of the AI bubble

@ErikUden

Here's hoping that a lot of rich assholes lose a lot lot of money.

@ErikUden
Crossing fingers for more dominos falling!
@ErikUden Could it collapse a bit faster? I want to be able to afford a new gaming desktop.
@ErikUden Coding agents will stay though. Areas with strong formalism are well-defined enough for those probabilistic outputs to be useful.

@gimulnautti @ErikUden

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 wonโ€™t still go away. Plenty of companies make enough money to still pay for them.

Also new techniques like ternary emulation on binary cpuโ€™s 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.

@gimulnautti @ErikUden

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.

@Aedius @ErikUden Haha. Probably not.

But it will enable some 10x engineers to become 50x engineers.

Rare, but useful.

@ErikUden My usual reaction to these news:

@ErikUden But of course it's not gone, only shelved behind closed doors now.
@ErikUden They seem to use AI for the most BANAL VIDEOS EVER!
@ErikUden All "this is the future" technology coming from US tech giants is being pushed hard before they even know if it's 'got legs'.

@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 ๐Ÿ”ฅ

They thought the output space would grow and just ignored the economics of paying for the intellectual property to do it the only way that is likely to work. All the output looks the same and the kids can tell the difference already. There are more grifters than contributors in the generative software industry.

@ErikUden Wellโ€ฆ 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.
