"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.

Only because MoviePass failed (to become a monopoly).
Something like OpenAI forces investors to operate on a Sunk Cost Fallacy, where they'd rather keep bailing out the company than lose what they'd already invested. Nearly every commercially successfully corporation has followed this exact model.
Once you reach Walmart/Amazon status (ie. household name) you're "too big to fail". Not until something else comes along to replace you. Actual business success is negligible once you're a monopoly.
McDonald's is the shittiest fastfood chain on the planet and continuously going downhill, but not once has the company ever been in danger of shutting down. They've only continuously expanded until they convinced all consumers there was no better alternative.
And last I checked, people have begun to embrace ChatGPT in the same teeth-gritting fashion as McDick.
It might just cave like Vine, or it might outright replace Google. At this point, could go either way.
Yeach thats human fallacy in the work. Way too much brand loyalty.
