Given how boom and bust cycles work, It's not a matter of if but when AI winter is coming. Once Big Tech gets bored of AI, what does /g/ predict to be the next big thing in the world of tech?
>>109590893Youre insane if you think AI is going away at this point. What will happen, is we reach a cross roads of local models becoming good enough, and cost of components dropping enough for people to afford dedicated AI boxes. This wont happen anytime soon, thanks to trumpian economics. BUT hopefully in a few years, when we unfuck ourselves, its possible.
>>109590893>next big thing in the world of tech?What next big thing? AI is *the* information technology. Everything else is just side quests.
>>109590893AI is putting Math Professors out of work.There is no Winter. You are getting replaced.
>>1095908933D TV, obviously
>>109591020Ya it was Trump that dumped 10 trillion dollars over night and created for the first time since the 1800s 18 month treasury bonds. Oh wait no that was Biden and Janet Yelen. I hate dumb as rocks liberals who don't know about economics.
>>109591105He sure didn't do anything to fix it except enrich himself and his friends through insider trading, but go ahead and fellate whichever elite you want
>>109591121Trump or Biden isn't the reason your broke
>>109591020Away? Nobody said away. But despite heroic injections of public funds into AI, they can't make any money. In fact their creditors are frowning and even NVIDIA is frowning at companies they leased nearly free GPUs to and reported said leases as sales, in a scam that should be illegal but somehow isn't.Somebody is going to have to make some money at some point aside from NVIDIA or else the entire tech-o-sphere collapses. Semiconductor factories are booked out 'till 2030 on promises that the money is "coming soon!" and the same with the investor bag-holders. It's not sustainable, which is why these companies are all shoving AI into everything and jacking up the subscription costs and spy-monetization AI enables. A desperate search for revenue so they can pay the AI companies they've partnered with, so these AI companies can pay the datacenters, so the datacenters can pay the computer and board makers who can pay the semiconductor people. The feeder, the AI consumer market / great replacement / whatever it is? If that doesn't turn into MORE MONEY than uptake will be shit and the rest of the downstream industries get fucked.
>>109591049math professors' primary contribution to the economy is grant writing, teaching, and grading, they aren't being put out of work until openai opens a university
>>109591198>. But despite heroic injections of public funds into AI,IDK where this idea comes from but the US government has been completely restrained in giving much money for any AI companies.What money has been given is completely dwarfed by private investors and companies themselves.I guess the confusion comes from whenever the trump admin announces investments but that's not at all tax money but basically "words of intent" from outside investors.If you twist yourself into a knot I guess it's possible to claim that tax breaks from all those involved is "public" money but you'll have to be outraged about alot more things than a datacenter.
>>109590893Robotics will have a (proper) boom but that is in some years time (5-15 I reckon, but probably in the tail end). Brain chips and brain interfaces will be massive at some point, hopefully many years away, pray with whatever means you have that we will live in some utopia till then>>109591020Profitability will not be reached, prices will go AWOL, then with time it will become a cheap nifty tool like everything else
They're gonna put all their money into buying territory/citizenship in third/second world countries. Vacation homes, bunkers for the elite, that sort of thing since that 1%-10% hold like 90% of the wealth. Pleasing the bottom 90% doesn't matter anymore, they don't want the volatility that comes with a fragmented nation, so they'll make their little club countries invite only and use complacent Rednecks/Chinese/Indians to do all the time consuming crap.
>>109591220AI can do that, lol.
>>109591146Lick that boot
>>109590893>What's next?HAL is to IBM what AI is to BJ
>>109591105yes, it indeed was trump that shut america down because of the flu
>>109590893It's not gonna be easy to keep number going up. I'm thinking (fake) alien tech.
>>109591020It doesn't need to "go away" for a major crash or crisis to happen. The Great Depression didn't eliminate banks. The Oil Crisis of the 70's didn't eliminate oil. Dot Com bubble didn't end the Internet.AI's plateauing is increasingly obvious. The big gains are all behind us, what's left are improvements so small they're not worth the investment."AI write me a book/script" and "AI generate me enough videos for a movie" are what is being pushed right now, and eventually that will fall flat when it fails to make a profit.
>>109592273>AI's plateauing is increasingly obvious.Is it? It feels like the opposite. Its only just recently became useful. New math theorems are being proved every day. Vibecoding just werkz...like ridiculously well. Earlier today I asked Codex to edit my KOTOR executable directly to make it compatible with 1440p widescreen resolution and...it just did it. In one shot. In only a few minutes.
>>109591337AI cannot provide the degree with the name of a credentialed institution as the issuer, which was the whole point of>until openai opens university
>>109591020yeah we just need to get AOC in there so she can wave her magic wand to make this all go away then we can go to brunch
>>109591020You’d be insane in 1999 to think the internet was going away, but the Dotcom bubble still burst didn’t it?
>>109590893Back to Bitcoin
>>109591049>HURR DURR U GIT REPLACE HURR DURRI hate this retarded FUD so much.
>>109592697meanwhile, dead internet theory
>>109590893Non-personal computing. Everything will be run by AI remotely.
>>109591020>cost of components dropping enough for people to afford dedicated AI boxes.You really don't understand do you? The people who control the world (not Trump) are making sure this will never be possible. They need to make compute power a scarce commodity like land and oil. Oil is gradually being deprioritized for various reasons, land they are going pretty hard on behind the scenes to get under corporate control, and compute power is a new concern they are just trying to get a handle on with fake shortages and artificial price inflation as a temporary stop-gap before more drastic action is taken soon.
>>109591337Ok, then where are the AI universities?
roboticswe've had years of improved hardware designs, sensors, and how they communicatenow the software side is rapidly filling in some gaps in learning and autonomythe momentum is building
>>109592306>ai is going to replace humans because i told it to do [extremely simple thing] and it did it
>>109592789Won't take off in America because of certain people we allow to roam around freely.
>>109592789also, robo dogs and autonomous drone swarms are quietly joining military ranks. Military leads tech development, then it trickles down to civilians
>>109592789forgot to mention AI is what's fueling the software side improvementsgood match, honestly

quantum computing will open up some novel applications that generate hype, but not for another 15+ yearsmaterials science, physics, manufacturing, and algorithmic theory each need to improve, and that is happening, but slowly
>>109591020this is the exact same shit that has been repeated during the shitcoin and nft scams
>>109597194??crypto and NFTs are distributed technology. Nobody was talking about running your own blockchain in a few years
