Can’t wait to short-sell the stuff!
Just when you think the geriatric generational 1% are about to pass away and leave the world to younger, more sensible, caring people who want to help the earth heal, arseholes like these guys come along just to ensure we’re all fucked for another 50 years.
because it’s a class divide, not a generational divide. capitalists fucked the world, not boomers. and now it’s still capitalists fucking the world, not gen x & millennials.
Because it was stupid to think it was an age thing.
The insane thing is that we humans just can’t not listen to what those kind of people say.
They are professional liars.

I’ve always wondered that too. If everybody knows someone is lying, why do we have to keep going along with it?
For one thing I think record keeping.
Like. Part of the problem is he’s lying to investors. He hasn’t ever really cared about what the general public thinks except if it affects what investors think of his product. And it’s important to keep records of what he (and the others like him) says because eventually investors will want to sue (which is the only comeuppance these types ever get) if he doesn’t make good on his lies).
Keeping track of the lies proves that he did lie. Doesn’t do any of us any good if investors believe him and he manages to make a deal with them to sweep the lies under the rug in exchange for something that’s short term lucrative. But that’s why.
The general masses just need drama as far as I can tell. Hate sells. Well. that and I think people like him want to keep people like us afraid so we’re more controllable.
Well we’ve got to keep a record, but we don’t have to go along with it! When Altman says “ai is gonna be smarter than people” we can just say “no it won’t buddy” and call it a day.
I think part of the problem is they know a lot people want life and entertainment to be the same thing, so they can sell scifi as reality and it’s a sure way to get tithes from the faithful.
It’s not just about AI, though. This is just an incredibly common phenomenon.
For sure, it’s Elon’s whole thing. Look at Star Citizen, same thing. Blur the lines between what’s achievable and what seems feasible and say you need people’s money to make th dream work. Money go brrrrr
Or the Kremlin, or Trump, or …
I don’t know if that’s a good example, in the US everyone reflexively hates and makes fun of the president no matter who it is. Everything the government says is always considered bullshit no matter what. But for some reason this doesn’t apply to CEOs.
-“Trump indicated that the tariffs are going to make the economy …”, “Trump just stated on trut social that the Iran deal …”
The media sure do listen to your presidents ramblings and social media posts.
Can we please have the bubble burst before the IPO?
Lol, are you poor or something?
There is so much money sucked into that black hole, that it needs to siphon it from the retirement funds and poors investments.
Banks are not going to be holding the bag, my friend.
I want to make sure that the schmucks who financed this abomination in the first place pay dearly for it, rather than fleecing the subsequent hapless small investors and the rest of society who don’t understand and will buy into the hype.
The IPO means they’ll be listed in things like the S&P 500 which means they’ll get automatic investment from our pension funds and the like.
Someone needs to do the needful.
With a little luck it will experience a “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly” before the IPO 😁
Meanwhile musk is racing to do his huge IPO to suck up all investor cash before Altman can get to it. They’re all trying to cash in before the bubble pops, so the damage will be done and it’ll be painful.
It’s just a PR move because they realize they need to sell AI to the general public to let them build data centers and not just VCs and CEOs.
Yeah, Sam Altman ran this ponze scheme all the way to Asia and the Middle East looking for investors and nobody would bite.
Theres no chance a bunch of people with an average of $5k savings each can turn this around for him.
Panic mode is still a few years away. Just wait, it gets pretty wild. Not fun wild, but it does get simultaneously violent & weird.
Nothing like Terminator. More like teenage boys throwing controllers; only we & our beautiful planet are the gamepad being smashed against the drywall.
Hopefully we learn about our collective power before it comes to that, but who am I kidding…
Just keep caring. Stay informed. Collect books and uncorrupted data. Spread the word. Be good.
That way, when inevitably this all goes wrong (as it always does), we have plenty of backup data for whatever eventually finds our remains ;)
Man, I’m pretty sure Local LLMs getting better and more efficient would be one of the reasons why the bubble’s gonna burst. It’s still very technical, though.
I mean seriously, just try ollama with lfm2 on a macbook with the current NPU… Why the fuck would I pay these clowns to run that process elsewhere? Why would I pay for model access when they’ve plateaued and open/free models are everywhere?
“The commencement speaches aren’t working… dang nabit! Time for plan B”
Literally nothing behind those fucking creepy eyes.
