This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Perhaps it should have been wide adoption that led to a boom, instead of a boom in hope of adoption?
That’s just crazy talk. You’ll never create a blackhole moneypit that manages to keep you a billionaire that way.
Something something where to place the cart in relation to the horse.
If nobody is using your product then you made a shit product and should scrap it before you lose any more money.

Not much of a "boom" then is it?
Has there ever been a true world-changing invention where the "inventors" had to beg the public to use it?
“Ponzi scheme could falter without wider adoption, warns early Ponzi scheme investor”

AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns
Fantastic! Let's work to get to that point.
Big tech boss tells delegates at Davos that broader global use is essential if technology is to deliver lasting growth
Let me rephrase:
"Smart" entitled person says our product is not showing value, so we need to force people to use it more than we already are after years of cramming it down their throats.
The stone hasn't bled enough. Squeeze harder.
I can't wait for the full on gaslighting to start. They're going to tell us that the economy will fall into recession if we don't embrace AI.
Capitalism: “The customers get decide what suceeds and what fails!”
Capitalism: “What a load of horseshit, and they’ll eat it up, too, the idiots.”
Always incredible to me how staunch supporters of capitalism are routinely ok with handouts to the tune of billions of dollars when they aren’t getting any real benefit. They’re even the type say they don’t negotiate with terrorists and I guess they’re right, since they just immediately fall to their demands.
You could have every single piece of technology on the planet using AI and it would still falter, because HUMANS DON'T WANT AI! Time and time again it's been shown that people don't like this shit. You're spending money that hasn't been made, on ram that hasn't been produced, to be installed in AI data centers that haven't been built, to run AI farms that have zero interest from humans, to chase profits that will never come.
I would normally say "congratulations, you fell for it again", except nobody is tricking you here. YOU are the one tricking yourself. Every expert has stated that CEOs everywhere report no actual benefit from their AI use. Tech experts everywhere report that customers don't want AI in their toilet. Or their toaster. Or their TV. Or their cell phone.
So who is this for?
You mean you're telling me that the technology that can't even correctly predict my next word in my text messages, is untrustworthy at an even bigger scale? I remember when AI first came out and I talked about that, they went on and on about how they're different.
Also, please don't anyone forget that the CEOs of these corporations were firing and replacing their workers in proportion to the amount of trust they gave LLMs. Do not forget.
If people aren't adopting it, it's not a boom.
It's an investment boom.
Man, I cannot wait for the comedy movies that come out based on this farce, explaining exactly how these jokers lost all their money.
Translation: "Please help us justify our choices to our board. They want to know why we YOLO'd billions into making our users hate us."
So they‘re finally reaching the „we could fail…“ stage of the hype cycle. This is great news, actually. The sooner this charade ends the lesser destructive it will be. Even when it already caused devastating damage to society.
Whining that nobody wants to use your product worked pretty well for Zuck and his Mii-verse. Oh, that’s right, it didn’t, never mind.
"This totally amazing new product that everyone will definitely want might turn into a total failure if everyone doesn't actually want it. Clearly, this is your fault for not wanting it hard enough, and not our fault for shoving a totally unwanted product down everyone's throats."
As this asshole and his asshole company tries to force adoption via shoving it down Windows 11 users without consent.

Looks over his shoulder at the pile of money that’s burning to ash
If he wanted people to like it then he should have made it do things people want it to do.
It is the new metaverse.
Hell I'd almost settle for just "making it work". No disclaimers, no bullshitting. Computers should be optimized and accurate. AI is neither.
Oh no! Anyway...
Translation: We need more suckers now!
Stop calling LLMs ‘AI’, there’s nothing intelligent about regurgitating statistically luke-warm refried Reddit threads.
Don't threaten me with a good time
Microslop chief Satya Nadella warns
I'm not an AI hater but make literally one functioning AI product bro before you say that
Get fuct “big tech boss”
It's nice to wake up to good news.
He means the LLM boom. Their conflating LLMs with all of AI is nonsense.
There are plenty of other machine learning projects, even ones using Transformer-based neural networks), that are doing just fine because they are not built on top of ridiculous business models like 'buy every bit of computer hardware and hope someone makes something to run on it'.
The faster this thing crashes, the faster all consumer electronics becomes cheaper.
"People don't want our product and we're in danger of failure, wahhh" -capitalist oligarch
Something something free market dynamics something something. Oh wait, they only believe in that when it means deregulating, but if it means letting their company fail then all of a sudden everyone else has a responsibility to carry weight for them?
Privatized profits and socialized losses. Damn greedy crooks.
“For this not to be a bubble by definition, it requires that the benefits of this are much more evenly spread,”
I would correct that to say 'for this to not be a bubble by definition, it requires that the benefits of this a. Exist and b. Are significant enough to justify the extreme costs of building these systems'
Right now I don't see anything coming out of this that justifies even 1/10 of the $trillions being poured into AI.
In fact I think you could make an argument that the net result is negative, even for businesses that adopt it, due to the increased prices they will pay for hardware over the next few years. If it makes your employees 5% more efficient great, if it makes your technology 50% more expensive in return, not so great.
If that's not a sign the bubble is about to pop, I dont know what is...
This isn't how fucking markets work you God damn dweebs. Has nobody in Silicon Valley taken econ 101
Pictured: Nadella holding in his hands all the profit M$ can make in the next 30 years even if AI booms like he really really really wants it to.
artificial intelligence (AI) risks becoming a speculative bubble unless its use spreads beyond big tech companies and wealthy economies.
Oh, you mean there is a risk it becomes the thing it already is? Boy, imagine that!
The really funny thing is how he says that "the benefits need to spread outside the tech sector". Golly gee, I wonder why other sectors haven't benefited yet! Could it be that it's not worth the hype and it does not improve anything that typical computer systems are already working on, like managing electrical grids, keeping track of shipments, avionics, etc? Nah, it's all the doomers' fault
Nadella maybe knows a lot more than any of us about LLMs/GenAI tech, but one doesn't need to know anything about LLMs (or even technology) to know that an oligarch like Nadella cannot be trusted (in any context).
AI is not a bad thing, but it's way more niche compared to what was promised. There's certainly way less demand for it than these big investors want people to believe.
Microslop behaving like a tumor.
