Haven't watched it yet.



I don't have a job like darthska where I can just sit around watching stuff.

Recently my job sent me to a bunch of conferences and I had to write a report on AI and the impact on the business ect.

I don't know where to post this, but I just want to put this on record; I think the AI hype is totally unsustainable,

it has no practical business use case, and it doesn't actually make humans more efficient or productive.

it ultimately will be a totally flop as costs continue to rise, and the profit generating potential remains illusory .


I could be wrong, but I feel pretty confident about the entertainment industry especially. i could see some limited use cases in animation, or some aspects of video game production.

i think it's great for making scams, or like semi legitimate looking malware, or instantly generating taylor swift gang bang porn...

but for the most part I just don't see this massive revolution coming.

I agree, but reading this had me remembering when I had the same sentiment about the internet.

I appreciate this perspective— I work in a school, so this has been posited by various people as Freedom or the End so many times I’m wondering when we’ll actually « get it » about what it really will mean.

Thank you for sharing this!

I feel like Sidney Sweeny came and took all of Florence Pugh's juice. With that being said, the two of them should star in a remake of Gia.

I agree, but reading this had me remembering when I had the same sentiment about the internet.

one of the main traps people fall in when analyzing AI's future impact is they assume a linear improvement trajectory similar to the internet or computers in general.


The internet utility improves as you connect more people, it's really simple,
more connections = more utility

Computers improves by getting faster, getting faster simply means putting more transistors on a chip,
more transistors = more speed = more utility.


but AI doesn't work this way. AI abilities are emergent properties, as in the components of the system don't predict the abilities, it's the interaction between components.

AI doesn't improve linearly. you could have decade of feeding the model data, and see no progress, and then one day get a massive leap in performance, then you could spend the next 100 years waiting for more improvement.

that's why Chat GPT feels like it came out of nowhere. they were working on it, and all of a sudden there was a huge leap in performance. no one has any idea when the next leap is coming and how long it will take to get there.

the problem is these systems are so incredibly expensive to run; to put it in context, a chat gpt search costs 4-5x more than a traditional google search.

and they need bigger and bigger data sets to train on, it's going to be incredibly difficult to get enough data to train the models going forward.

they have significant legal exposure, with all the copyright violation they did to build chat GPT in the first place.
and now no one is going to give them data for free anymore.


So can Open AI continue to run this insanely expensive machine that has no actually profitable use case for the next 20 years while they wait for the next jump in performance?

can they do it for 30 years, how about 40? because it legit could take that long, and they have no way of knowing when it's coming.

i could go on, there are more problems. but the more i read and learn, the more like this feels like totally unsustainable nonsense.

I’m not into sports or gambling but it’s big in my group of friends. Is A.I. really a cheat code for betting? I see some people eating I’ve never known to really be up with anything but my rational side tells me it’s too good to be true. I’m completely clueless to this really just trying to gethip

The house always wins.
You see them eating, but they lose, too... A LOT.

I just did that crossing the street a few minutes ago. I hit her with the peace sign though. She was super cute and I saw her break a smile
