Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders.

AI is booming (if you're a pleb) but if you have money - Goldman Sachs will be honest with you instead web.archive.org/web/20240629...

While the next AI winter is coming, the current hype cycle could potentially last a couple more years yet. It is clear that investors do not understand gen AI, that a lot of people who should know better are vastly overselling its capabilities (or wishful thinking), and that FOMO is *sky high*.

As I repeat ad nauseam, "AI is the new NFT". Next year's fad will be something else, and something we hope will be cheaper and without Sam Altman talking.

Yet another major thing to hear the tech bros go on about that ends up only seeing gains among criminals (last paragraph)

Interesting - solving hard problems still requires human imaginations? Imagination is a superpower. Maybe we should think more about what we've done to and how to grow our imaginations in education and our lives. Likewise, imp to identify organizations, etc. that thwart or corrupt imagination.

So the chips make sense in making money. As do the energy companies. I also understand cybersecurity making money as AI progresses. In addition, I foresee companies like IBM making some profit in consulting on how to use AI. AI is at the very beginning. It’s all going to take a while to sort out.

"One exception, not that it helps above-board businesses? Criminals. Hackers are using AI to steal an untold amount of money, which has driven companies to spend more cash on cybersecurity measures" oh yey

It's because the "ai" they are selling are just llm chatbots. The actual "ai" that everyone is expecting is "agents"(think a system that automatically makes llm calls with a dynamic state). Those are hitting in the fall for users and they will destabilize everything.

From the linked article: “Adoption rates may be stymied by concerns over hallucinations, when AI just makes stuff up” Oh, you think companies that rely on accurate information might be concerned about that? Ya think?

And yet for some goddamn reason my local grocery store still has a weird camera-covered trailer sat in the parking lot next to the curbside pickup spots yelling at me not to loiter while I wait for my groceries. It was put there to deter retail theft that NEVER HAPPENED and now they're keeping it 🤮

Wowie I can't believe the plagiarism machines people invented that can only produce highly derivative work that can't be legally owned by those "making" it can't translate into cash money. Its almost like its a pointless energy draining novelty not worth the hype or something...

Similar to how all the stories about the 2020 election being stolen from Trump fell apart when lawyers were at risk of disbarment if they made false legal filings…
