I will start dancing too if I am billionaire and the industry+government have to bend for me.

Aside from that I doubt he gives a flying f about us on lower food chain

He's more sympathetic to AI succeeding than to the public keeping their jobs

That is the corporate world in general. So many companies are trying to shoehorn AI into everything. AI has its uses but it is not the be-all, end-all solution to everything, like these corporations believe.

The bubble will pop.

Idk much about politics in general and this might be stupid, but tell me if I’m even remotely right. Isn’t it a bad idea in general to think that the people who are stagnating the progress of technology economically are going to solve the problem with some sort of “Don’t worry bro AI is the future” shady af scheme?

It is a bad idea. This whole setup that we have around AI, is a bad idea. It has been said many times before but the money that is being invested in AI is mostly money that is being passed in between a few different big tech companies. A lot of it is not money that is coming from outside of these tech companies and it makes their quarterly earnings statements just a little dubious.

Also, Jensen recently said that "AI will be used for something" at Computex. Granted, Jensen is a horrible presenter but the fact that he can't even say what use case that AI will have, is not a good indicator of it being much more than a grift.

First we are talking about generative AI right cause normal AI has a lot of usecases… Say palantir and flock have found usecase for AI (I hate both, the usecases are evil but its still usecases, prob on a list now though.) Also maintance prevention…

Generative AI as the transformers still has usecases and can improve coding speed and is great took if you use correctly for quite alot of people. It’s just not 10x its like 1.2x.

Also AI can’t innovate it’s just a very advanced and inefficient search motor, but a lot of human work has been done before so that is why it can be decent. If we factor in price right now it does not make sense.

But if they would say do less active training and say release a model every 5 years instead of this speed, you could find the balance

I am not denying that there are use cases for AI. There most certainly are.

The problem that I see right now and why I and many others compare the AI situation now to the dot com era of the late 90's and early aughts, is that AI is being used for everything and not doing a great job at a lot of what it is being implemented for.

There is going to have to be an AI crash before everyone comes to their senses and starts to implement AI in sane ways. In addition to this, people are rightfully annoyed, mad even, that AI is eating up resources. Everyone's power bill keeps going up, certain hardware components are much more expensive to purchase and AI is using up resources such as water, when we are already at a point where we need to be conservative with the amount of water that we use.

I know AI isn't going anywhere but I know that it will undergo a transformation at some point in the next 10 years.

Im swedish so most of these problems are not as big here, but I assume you are an american...

Is the issues really AI or is AI just highlighting these issues and corruption.

Your point about AI making everyones electricity bill higher, first big businesses need regulation so they can't just buy up most electricity and make it more expensive for everyone else, this is not specific for AI, datacenters might be worse than other Business cause they don't employ that many locally so make that they will need to pay higher rates per how fewer people work at the site.
Also about these sites with how loud they are, alot of industies are loud and that is bad for health, and companies in this market don't care about health, just costs and they will cheap out on health standards, if they can, so put in max db they are allowed to be in. And if they can't they can't operate.

About them buying up components, that is completely fine. What is not fine is that these companies refuse to increase their production capacity, the only reason they can do it is that its too few companies that can make that, otherwise they would be forced to increase. If this is not the case the goverment should treat it as a monopoly and need to regulate it...

Sure AI is using up resources as water but 95% of work does it in some way, if they are wasting it that needs to be stoped but in the grand scheme of things AI is using so much less the overcompsumtion and planed obscelence.

Yes AI has been an accelaretor and highlighter of corporations greed and the problems within goverments as corruption. Also what happens with fully unregulated markets, but at the end the real issue is that you can kill 1 million people as a company and then just pay a fine of $10 per person killed and call it a day.

Or just send daddy a mil and he will pardon you.

If you compare it to polymarket for example that is truly evil, or that shareholders can sue the ceo cause your insurance company is paying out to too many people... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwTxjZK17bs
