Because those other technologies are infinitely more useful.... So obviously governments and private equity you're going to invest in AI. Makes perfect sense to me.
God I'm so tired
No one knows how useful AI will be in the long term and anyone thinking they know is full of themselves Everyone's gambling.
It's hilarious how many downvotes are given to an objectively true statement. People hate when echo chambers don't confirm their biases.
Like the dotcom bubble, the technology will likely stay long term but the hype scam has been the major issue
It will have some uses. But it will not be the foundation of everything in future tech like they are claiming. It will be some limited mainstay markets, which doesn't in any way justify the size of the hyperscaling they are trying to achieve. All that is pure posturing for the stock value.
Especially since the open source models may likely win out over the big expensive corpo models, based purely on costs.
So what about 5 years? Forget the LLMs, seemingly alot of positive things are happening in various industries thanks to advancements in AI (machine learning, robotics, etc). What about 10 years? What about 25? This is one of those things that will keep advancing, just like computers themselves.
Yep I see polymarket and fan duel ads all the time, everybody is gambling
