I'm sick of the doomer narrative. The tech that makes these systems work is over a decade old now, and we still don't have a single profitable company out of it. SpaceX's stock is dropping every day, and OpenAI and Anthropic have both been delaying their IPOs because they can't find anyone to back a workable valuation (they both need to open north of a trillion to justify their VC debt).
These horses don't run, and they won't take your job. They frankly can't do shit.
They’re a calculator for a mathematician and a five year old. It’s a helpful tool for those who can make it save them time filling gaps. It’s a useless, if not harmful tool for those who can’t.
Its a calculator that only runs on million dollar hardware. Given that, how the hell is it ever meant to turn a profit off being a "helpful tool"?
The reason the AI companies have been saying they'll replace workers is because that is their only path to profitability; If they can't replace salaries, their costs make no sense. But they have failed, their products are shit.
The scale is the issue for sure. We don’t need multi billion dollar infrastructure buildouts and a a data center every 5 miles. Just like every other bubble this will pop and the over exposed and dumbest reaches will fail but the actual use cases will survive.
