Bingo. Good luck telling this crowd that, though - all they know is "black turtleneck" and pestering middle-aged Disney investors for cash.
These AI companies provide marginal utility that will get swallowed by later iterations even if AI is a technical failure. The "industry" of AI is bound to fail whether the technology impresses us or not.
- zerbinxx 3y agoJust curious why you think AI is destined to fail. Is it like a hard-AI is incompatible with consumer capitalism or a soft-AI is simply not a feasible money-maker within the current economy? Or just that a lot of this is overblown and won’t really amount to an real productivity revolution (or so the present line of investor hype-training goes)?
