The most optimistic take I’ve seen: AI is a drain on the entire economy that sucks up all investment and this is why the rest of the economy is basically in a recession. Once the bubble pops, investors will flood back into the real economy and correct the problem.

I’m not optimistic.

Can’t wait for US Catholics to make an AI pope and split the church.

This was basically the plot of the new War of the World’s movie.

Do you think he used classified systems to spy on his family too?

If driver’s licenses were invented today they’d be a public-private partnership.

afaik it’s inconclusive, and just as likely that big game was rare and supplemented by many other forms of hunting and gathering. It’s a lot easier to spear a fish or steal some eggs than to spend a whole day tracking down an elk until it collapsed from exhaustion.

We haven’t been eating like this for a few million years, humans mostly subsisted off of whatever they could get. Eating red meat every day, or even every week, is very modern.

I can see government contracts making a lot of money regardless of how functional their technology actually is.

It’s more about who you know than what you can actually do when it comes to getting money from the government.

I don’t think they can survive if they gatekeep and make it unaffordable to most people. There’s just not enough demand or revenue that can be generated from rich people asking for chatGPT to do their homework or pretend to be their friend. They need mass adoption to survive, which is why they’re trying to keep it artificially cheap in the first place.

Why do you think they haven’t raised prices yet? They’re trying to make everyone use it and become reliant on it.

And it’s not happening. The technology won’t “go away” per se, but these these expensive AI companies will fail.

Those users are not paying a sustainable price, they’re using chatbots because they’re kept artificially cheap to increase use rates.

Force them to pay enough to make these bots profitable and I guarantee they’ll stop.

They’re locusts. They don’t think about anything past the next fiscal quarter.

Okay, but like-

You could just be lying.

You could even be a chatbot, programmed to hype AI in comments sections.

So I’m going to trust studies, not some anonymous commenter on the internet who says “trust me bro!”

It’s okay. Europe and China will replace the US and the world will be better off.

It was a pump-and-dump scam, I’m almost sure of it.

Someone made millions off of that Xeet.

Imagine playing Dwarf Fortress in a recliner with a pair of these.

True, but also, there will be plenty of morons that just openly reveal who they are on their Facebook timeline. That’s still useful.

Although being called slurs by a chatbot will probably just make people stop using Facebook.

Look on the bright side: they’re saying these things under their legal names. You’ll know who they are and where they live.

Trump is the most American president we’ve ever had.

He retired? This fuck better not get an appointment in the next administration.
