"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.

I'm really wondering when you think the AI "bubble" will burst, and I admit I'm really waiting for that moment!

Apologies if this question has already been asked somewhere else in this community. I'm not the best at searching to see if it's already been asked..

If left alone, by the start of summer next year? I've thought that for a while but OpenAI and Anthropic were supposed to have gone public by now and have not. Whenever they do I think that really lights the fuse.

But I don't think the current US govt. will leave it alone and just let the bubble pop. They'll find some way to inflate trillions of dollars into existence to backfill the private equity / venture capital dollars that aren't there and keep the line going up for another year and a half.

Then they pull the plug on the rolling bailout Nov. 28 and let it all come down early '29, and tell everyone the collapse is the incoming Democratic president's fault- a stab in the back by America-hating woke socialists- and voting for a fascist supermajority in congress in 2030 is the only way to fix it.
