I'm so fucking tired of this AI bullshit, and I don't mean you OP, I mean this bubble at all.
Oh it's the end of the world thanks to AI, we will not have to work anymore because AI can do it for us! But at the same time AI stole our jobs so we can't buy shit.
And in the other side, AI is the most important advance in human history, we will unlock space time travel and we will be able to be inmortal all thanks to it!
No matter where the fuck you go, there's always AI now. I just hope this shit ends soon, like the crypto currency scam that happened some years ago.
Ever if the bubble pops, AI isn't going to go away. Profits will never justify the current expenditure, but they will make more efficient AI and it'll still be everywhere. Just probably not quite as good and enshittified to the core.
I can only hope open models can deliver what corporations will not.
Historically, the only real parallel I can think of is the discovery of electricity, and then the mass deployment and use of electricity.
Both Westinghouse and Edison marketed the benefits and drawbacks, seemingly to create their own moats, but electricity and electricity distribution ultimately became a commodity that we all use as a tool.
LLMs[1] won't go away. However, I don't see these big 'AI' companies - OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI (shudder) - lasting another 5-10 years as their moats disappear through LLM commoditisation like electricity and electricity distribution.
We're already seeing this with DeepSeek, et al.
[1] I hate referring to them generically as 'AI'. The artificial intelligence field is so, so much bigger, more exciting, and I argue more beneficial to the world than The Tech Bros ejaculatory visions of world domination.
Obviously he won't explain exactly how that miracle would happen, just that AI is magic, like Jesus Christ himself. AI will wave it's hands and magically 7 companies will feed all the world or something, right?

I've been thinking about this a bit.

when the bubble bursts, it won't go to zero, it will just slightly decrease and then stabilize
like this curve
100% - the limit of LLMs will be reached eventually and then it will fizzle slightly but not go away until we have AGI or WW3
It wasn’t very effective.
Tell that to the folks looking for work and getting rejected by AI systems!
Which explains tech companies that make billions laying off people by the thousands with no consequences. Labor shortage. Riiiight.
IIRC san francisco bay area alone laid off 800k tech workers since 2022
A stupidly transparent lie that no worker would believe. What does he think we are, investors?
gag
Oh....sorry. I just threw up in my mouth a little. It's just when these billionaires talk, I can't stomach all the bullshit.
When the lion is explaining what's best for the giraffes, do the opposite.

No more billionaires, I WANT WEALTH CAPS!
This is insulting to clowns.
Then it better lead to him and his ilk coughing up some of that paper for UBI
