it’d be fun to watch if I could isolate myself from the chaos that will ensue, but we’re all gonna get fucked by the aibros, it’s only a question of which segment of the economy blows up first.
A lot of startups whose entire business model relies on OpenAI’s small model API calls costing under $1/Mtok, are going to go bust when OpenAI finally runs out of money and ramps the cost up tenfold.
Yep it’s blitzscaling. Run it at a loss until it’s a necessity, then charge whatever the hell you want.
They’re blitzscaling our right to intellectual property and our right to work.
yeah that’s one of the more egregious examples, basically a methane factory that eats prodigious amounts of water and power, all in process of giving us MECHAHITLER.
yeah secondary knockon effects - once nvidia realizes it’s not going to actually sell 5 gpus per human being, the datacenters for them evaporate, then the power production to feed those datacenters becomes pointless…
an effective administration would mandate all renewable energy for this purpose, so when it implodes they could at least derive a benefit from the expanded production… but no, trump will have them build coal plants for it all. or like grok, methane powered generators fml
when this bubble pops it’s gonna be horrific.
google, meta, ms, so many more leveraged out huge investments in datacenters. nvidia is propping up whole segments of the fucking economy.

good point, it’s all been artificially priced to get users onboard then dedicated.

TIL there’s a word for it. Thanks
Yeah I’m getting real dot com bubble vibes from all of this.
I think the fallout is going to be much larger.
It would probably be fine if there was someone competent in Whitehouse to manage the fallout.
But since there isn’t, you are very likely correct.
Yep, the only thing I’m 100% confident about in this whole mess is that Trump will find some heretofore unimagined way to make it worse.
the shitwad is consistent I guess…
They will manage the fallout just like the sub-prime crash and PPP program, with huge cash transfers straight to the wealthy.
fuck. and that idiot is all in on cryptocoin and other idiocy. fuck.
Came here to see if someone had mentioned Ed Zitron’s blog. His last two pieces on the AI bubble are fantastic reads.
pretty sure someone here linked it, it’s a long read and worth it.
Any chance you have a link,?

Thanks buddy!
Damn. We’re looking at another recession when this bubble bursts, aren’t we?
Just great.
recessions work themselves out. I’m worried it’ll pitch us into a worldwide depression coupled with trump’s tarriff bullshit.
it’s the 1920s all over again. smoot hawley fascists and clouds of war
Hopefully sooner rather than later, and maybe Elon can stop poisoning a neighborhood in Memphis with Grok

what’s not to love?
The electrical industry is going to have a real bad time.
