"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.

Speaking during an interview on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" segment earlier this week, CEO of cybersecurity giant Palo Alto Networks Nikesh Arora implored the tech industry to lower the cost of AI.

During the segment, the chief executive argued that the cost to use large language models (LLMs) has to drop by 20 percent by 2027 — and 90 percent by 2028 — for the tech to be useful to enterprises.

"We need to see the pricing for AI come down," Arora said.

How do I benefit from a massive corporation making a lot of money for shareholders when I don't have any shares and don't work there because they already replaced all of us with AI?

You won't, that's my point. The shitty system that we live in means that when a ton of companies crash at the same time ordinary people feel the negative economic effects. This what I meant as fallout.

How? What positive effect were they providing in the first place that I would lose.

They weren't providing any. But the share price on the US stock exchange for most of the big AI companies have been inflated through shoddy business practices, but they make up for an insane amount of the current trading of said stock market. When the bubble bursts and the market loses confidence the economy will contract and we hit recession or even worse depression. Much like the dot-com bubble or the financial crisis.

Wasn't that companies that hired people though, rather than bot farms
