"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.

And the real cost of running AI still isn't factored in.
I hope they all eventually get sued into the ground by environmentalists and protection agencies.
I hope they get in trouble for all their crimes and the ceos have to spend the maximum possible sentence in prison with no parol before 100 years.
Theres fraud, generation of csam, verbal sexual abuse of minors, murder, spying on civilians without a warrant, war crimes on children in Gaza so trump can build a hotel there, assisting in the creation and running of internment camps. And that's ignoring the glaringly obvious issues like the theft of pretty much all intellectual properties, or price fixing on rent, food, etc.
With the amount of crimes ai is responsible for we might as well set up some kind of trial, similar to Nuremberg for elon musk, Sam Altmann, mark zuckerburg, etc etc.
In cyberpunk if ceos are found guilty they are sentenced to death. In China when you become too big for your own good you don't get welcomed into the boys club with open arms. They kill you and take your shit. We need more of that energy.
I'm not even talking about externalized costs, but like, the basic cost of building and running data centers. They're still basically just burning investor cash, trying to reach escape velocity.
Yeah, everyone on the AI-train doesn't realize if they gain a dependency on AI from using a particularly model, the price of that model will just go up every year.
Enshittification is as predictable as gravity. These people are mentally no different than flat earthers.
And as DeepSeek showed, it isn't that hard to distill the great large AI model into something smaller that isn't controlled by a large AI company, making owning the compute made to build the model worthless.
Yeah, I'm really wondering what the investment bankers are thinking on this. Everything they do is replicable.
If the rent gets too high, people will switch to cheaper models even if they're marginally less effective. And once a business starts running its own AI models on its own hardware, they're definitely not going to switch to a more expensive subscription.
There will never be an AI monopoly that will make back all the money they are burning trying to make a monopoly. I honestly don't get it it at all. I feel like the world has gone mad.
They don't think, thats the problem and why we are here.
Or they are thinking really really hard and this is like many of the other articially juiced finical situations that let them rape and pillage the pockets of the average American. Just like how George sorros can flood currency values to control a market and profit off of the demise of others, I like to think every single financial crises going back 50+ years has been some kind of swindle that only the rich with enough money can benifit from.
I was just reading a summary from a book published in 2016 that talks about this:
