I can't help but put everything abrasive, it's genetic and medical and does not respond well to any treatment for long
I fully agree AI is a bubble, but in the way the Internet was a bubble in the late 90s: Too much enthusiasm with too little application in the moment but an upcoming kaiju style industry that no one really expects to blossom. Same thing applies to NFTs but it'll take a decade before people really understand the programatic contract capabilities of actual NFTs (I'm not referring to pngs stored on someone else's server), and I think it will take less than 4 years after the AI bubble pop for the really bad knock-on effects of social control start becoming public.
LLMs eventually will be the interface to stacked suites of expert trained relational nodes, not the actual horsepower doing the data transformation itself, and I feel that is what will be developed after the 'AI chatbot is your friend' hype dies down and the investors find the next big thing to ruin.
When our fascist government agents want to crack down on dissidents they will ask an LLM to go query the expert nodes and cross index a list of questionable sentiment posts in the last decade and produce a geoip'd list and real name for every user that doesn't bow to dear leader and it will be done in a matter of minutes to a high degree of accuracy.
Every other concern, power, IP rights, censorship, all will pale to the chilling effect of the first fascist government with an unblinking eye in everyone's pocket and house. Every one of you is bitching about money or business or investing when we are heading into a wealth disparity dystopia that will make all of our novels pale.
Which is why it's so fucking frustrating that nowhere do I see people even slightly concerned about it, and whenever I mention it I get banned for an unrelated reason within hours.
Starting to think most of you are LLM bots specifically prompted to harass the fuck out of every post I ever make.
