Holy shit guys, I just had an epiphany. What's currently happening with AI is an EXACT replication of what happened with wokeness. Let me elaborate: >~2013>wokeness and social justice dominate the zeitgeist>companies start promising shareholders that adhering to ESG standards will generate value >the biggest woke shills move up the corporate ladder >opposing voices get ostracized>forward a few years >leading positions are filled with people who ended up there just because they never shut up about wokeness not because of their merit >proceed to shit everything up with woke shit that nobody asked for >~2023>AI and LLMs dominate the zeitgeist>companies start promising shareholders that introducing AI to their products/workflow will generate value >the biggest AI shills move up the corporate ladder >opposing voices get ostracized>forward a few years >leading positions are filled with people who ended up there just because they never shut up about AI not because of their merit >proceed to shit everything up with AI shit that nobody asked for
I'm already primed to reject the 2033 thing.
>>107854136>~1995>internet dominates the zeitgeist>companies start promising shareholders that pushing websites and connected services will generate value>the biggest internet will solve everything shills move up the corporate ladder>forward a few years>leading companies are all centered around ecommerce and connectivity>proceed to shit everything up with bespoke websites nobody asked foryeah man, after the dot com bubble popped and shit like pets.com took billions of dollars of investment the internet diednoone uses it anymore because it was overhyped, overinvested and made a bunch of useless shit
>>107854196Pretty big cope, buddy. You know you're too emotionally invested in a topic when you start attacking points that weren't even made.
>>107854196And pets.com is still not a thing. Essentially, people burned billions of dollars in a big fire, gained nothing, and also failed to invest in a majority of the major tech giants nowadays. Much like the Dotcom bubble, the criticism is not that it is a complete scam technology, but that it is not mature, has no clear market, and despite this, it is having ungodly amounts of money dumped into it.It is about scale, not whether it has any sort of use at all. Retard investors were dumping money into Dotcom because they could see potential, but they didn’t understand the technology, the userbase or the work involved. They hyped others up, those people then dump money in, repeat until it becomes so blatantly obvious it’s not sensible to dump billions of dollars into a nascent technology without a clear or tested market, and it crashes and burns. AI is even worse, it’s not even going to build useful infrastructure we could bring back online in 10-20 years when we actually need it, power plants don’t mothball well, data centres have excessive maintenance fees that will see them either demolished or ignored (and thus rendered useless) during the interim. Not only that, but it is actively hindering other industries by hogging resources and investments. In short, most investors are retarded, and will buy anything another rich investor says is a good investment.
>>107854136Why did they ever think that wokeness would somehow make money?
>>107854343Agreed. Also imagine the fucking collosal influx of cheap throwaway enterprise tech flooding the market after it all crashes down. I precum a little every time I think about that.
