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 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.

@lettosprey @ErikUden I think I may have misunderstood what was being said—I took it to mean that AI would go away soon.

Lately, I’ve also been feeling quite burned out by the wave of hate toward AI, which seems driven more by what’s currently en vogue, than by a genuine effort to address the ethical challenges of AI as it currently is; and because of that, I may have misinterpreted the point and responded in a way that wasn’t warranted.

Sorry about that.

@lettosprey @ErikUden To be clear, I don't dislike AI itself, I dislike how it's currently used and the unethical practices that enable that use.
