"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.

You missed the "AI and robotics" part. He probably shouldn't've conflated the two though.
Nothing about the recent trend of enshitification indicates that billionaires won't replace us all with inept but marginally more profitable GPT-6 clankers. Or maybe they'll strap us to VR headsets like in those faux demos and bring back remote work in the worst way possible.
But forget replacing human jobs. AI robots could mine asteroids and completely disrupt the precious metals market. The potential payout for winning the AI race is beyond fiscal description.
This the type of thing that gets us from < Type 1 to Type 2 on the kardoshev scale.
no, mining precious metals using space bots would just collapse the markets for those precious metals lol
That is what I said. Whomever monopolizes space mining won't be selling that shit on the market. They'll be building more robots and computer chips and in general dominating all the other markets.
Y'all gotta stop thinking like normal ass humans and start thinking like sociopathic supervillans.
cool
