"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.

YT;DW. Anybody have a summary?

  • Circular financing where all the "AI" players are paying each other making it seem like they're worth something when they're not (kinda like circle-jerk-style wash trading in a way.)
  • The tech CEOs and government all know that AI's failing miserably and the bailout is already happening. The government is just casting things that are a bailout as "not a bailout" to try to keep it under wraps. (The "Great Big Beautiful Bill" had measures in it specifically to bail out AI companies.) They're also propagandaing us hoping the public will support (or at least tolerate) a much more blatant bailout in the near future.
  • CoreWeave is a former crypto company that pivoted into building data centers. Many of the other AI players are financially dependent on CoreWeave. Meanwhile CoreWeave is in gar-fucking-gantuine amounts of debt that they will never be able to pay back in a trillion years. It's very possible CoreWeave could be the first major domino to fall.

For a fun read, go look up how Lucent Technologies failed.

History really can rhyme.

U can use AI.

Edit:
That was a joke.
