And people who keep repeating this dumb shit probably visit 50 .com’s a day…

The dotcom bubble didn’t rid us of dotcoms. Neither will the AI “bubble”.

I’d suggest learning more things before sharing your thoughts.

I’m not expecting AI or dotcoms to go away. It’s a way for the right people to get rich before they move on to pumping something else.

Wonder if his pivot to politics is because that is a better fit for his seemingly low attention span and high need for novelty/excitement or if it is because he is starting to realize that he can’t keep promising this forever. (both of course).

Ironically so far it looks like it is capable to replace execs.

It’s easier and cheaper to just use parrots to replace execs.

Replacing execs is the easiest thing to do, since all it takes is someone who is more than willing to fuck up the workers in the name of profit, no actual skills required.

This isn’t stopping execs from laying workers off in droves and mandating AI replacements.

They have been wanting to fire those workers for the past 4 years, but now they can do it in a way that won’t spoke shareholders.

Sam Altman == Elizabeth Holmes

He’s at least an order of magnitude bigger than Holmes. She only squandered billions and injured thousands. Altman’s looking to squander trillions and (if his endless thirst for water and electricity is continuously sated) kill millions.

OpenAI and Microsoft recently redefined “artificial general intelligence” as OpenAI making $100 billion profit.

Defining intelligence this way means that virtually no human who has ever lived qualifies as intelligent, either. That’s one way for machine intelligence to reach parity with human intelligence, I suppose.

Then again, Sam Altman has lit enough of Microsoft’s money on fire that he especially doesn’t count as intelligent according to this definition. So maybe it has some merit after all.
