Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

These bonzos want the world economy to collapse so there will be massive layoffs, allowing them to offer AI bots to companies and governments to replace human workers.

Except that it won’t eliminate anyone because they will all get a federal bailout.

Are you talking about the AI / big tech companies? No they won’t.

My fellow traveler in Christ, the feds have already invested 8.9 billion to keep Intel from suffocating to death in its own farts

[–] lumen@feddit.nl 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Intel actually makes stuff that gets used. OpenAI just spends billions upon billions of dollars for a solution in search of a problem to solve. It has to be shoved into everyone's faces because someone has to start needing it, but no-one really does. The total revenue of all generative AI is the size of - brace yourself - the smartwatch market.

Okay? And your point is

You say Big Tech isn’t going to get bailed out during this AI bubble, they already are!

[–] lumen@feddit.nl 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I’m saying that companies whose sole focus is generative AI will not be bailed out by the US government.

[–] ianhclark510@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That’s not what you said at all buddy

👍

I imagine they're referencing the 2008 precedence, although that was banks. But these tech companies are now 'worth more' than the banks so they may be considered 'too big to fail'. Wiki entry for 2008 bailout: Bailout Link

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 7 months ago

they are probably expecting trump to bail them out.

[–] lumen@feddit.nl 0 points 7 months ago

I don't think big tech that does stuff besides just AI (Google, Meta) will go bankrupt when the AI bubble busts. The AI-only tech companies though (OpenAI, Anthropic, ...) - I guess we'll see. I'm pretty sure many of those will die.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Of course they fucking will

[–] lumen@feddit.nl 1 points 7 months ago

It doesn't make any sense for them to do that. Maybe because of corruption. But there's a complete lack of any good business reason to be bailing out those slop companies.
