    It’s shocking to realise how much of capitalism is just irrational bullshit tulip mania nonsense.

    Sure, AI’s going to change the world, but some of the valuations are absurd.

      There’s a lot of people out there with no skills to develop a product that people actually need. They just jump on the hype train and try to sell people what is popular at the moment. Unfortunately, people are irrational, so they buy into the next big thing. Of course this has worked to a degree in the past, we got things like the car, personal computers, the Internet, smart phones, online shopping, etc. Other things became popular/ had big leaps due to necessity/demand, such as online store pickup and delivery, work from home applications, vaccine research. Other things have naturally developed over time out of expectation/ selling points, such as online search, auto correct, text to speech, translation, gps maps, and vehicle safety features like airbags and traction control. Calling an LLM AI is completely laughable when you realize that people have been doing advanced machine learning/bots for over a decade.

        I agree, and also I find “over a decade” to be a very funny duration. ELIZA was developed in the 60s; it’s been over half a century since humans confused bots for people, which was the point.

    I swear, OpenAI is just a bunch of clowns LARPing as a company from Shadowrun and somehow it works and no one questions it.

      It works, as no companies who have institutional power to call them out on their Shadowrun larping will call them out, as their lie relfects their own lie, and suddenly they can no longer sleep. Project mayhem is capitalism! His name is Robert Dunkelzahn!

      E: think my chatbot which I trained on my own posts broke there in the end, should have never trained it on making references.

    This is some sort of april fools joke right?

    Fortunately, the OpenAI fund is insured by renowned financier, Maximilian Bigbux, III, whose vast personal fortune includes uninsurable beachfront Florida real estate, newspaper stock, and some sweet crypto his cousin told him about.
