Why is that wizened old man dressing in a leather jacket?
wizened?
Every picture I see of him he’s wearing that leather jacket - tell me a CEOs role isn’t entirely performative.
They obviously don’t pay him enough and that’s why he only has the one outfit.
To be fair, I’ve seen him in another stupider leather jacket that was reptile textured.
That’s a tech CEO thing - Jobs’ turtlenecks, Gates’ blue oxford shirts, etc. You wouldn’t think twice about a Wall Street guy in a suit, but that’s just a daily uniform.
Yep, they love it.
They also all love saying they could have (or would have) been a physicist.
hello fellow acollierastro viewer
Pretty sure Elon’s completely given that game away.
Elon just dresses like the pig he is.
In a corporation that size? Yeah it’s entirely performative.
We banish you from this plane of reality, AI bubble!

Begone evil beast!
AI casts government intervention at a level 5.
Dm: I fucking hate this new ruleset.
Bubble inflators say there’s no bubble, ask for more pumps for no reason.
Tulip vendors saying mania is fake news!
Like when the coach of a big sports team is interviewed on the half-time break of a game they’re losing, this guy will of course going to say they’re still going to win.
It would only be news if he confessed they were fucked.
I’d rather forgo all of my technology and live like a caveman than use and embrace AI the way these morons want.
The more I learned about packet tracking and air gapped attacks makes me want to just uncle Ted the fuck out, minus the violence.
I wouldn’t mind Tedding out some of these tech bros.
Even if you wanted to you can’t use AI the way these guys want, because it doesn’t work.
Trust me bro. Just one more AI, I swear.
I’m sure he’ll have no problem holding my pet Fluffy then.
He isn’t Fonzie but he has definitely jumped the shark.

Is davos a gathering of villains hell-bent on making the world a worse place?
It’s just one letter away from Davros. They’re not fooling me.
These fucking nerds - Hey, Dipshit! Jedi mind tricks are not real! Your hand-waving “These are not the AI Tech Bubbles you seek,” won’t work.
Autoerotic asphyxiation from farts in an echo chamber produce the wildest trips.
I haven’t read the article. I’m not going to read the article because I, quite frankly, don’t care about these people and I hope they all fucking crash and burn. But I’m going to take a guess and say that their attitude is something on the order of “We’re making tons of money how can they possibly be the bubble?”
In my opinion thus far, AI is good for the consumer, not the enterprise. It has no new information, which is what makes companies grow. I know people don’t think the want it, but in the end, it will be that Microsoft, Apple, and Max n don’t have a reason for it right now. While Google does. (Bing is Microsoft so yes). People are idiots and can learn from others. New ideas can’t come from language models, thus useless to companies looking to engineer new ideas. But if you want to re-iterate BS people could not find, it helps. It will bleed anyone providing the information dry, so that will dry off, but it puts every dollar into the search engines povket for advertising, and steals from anyone chasing “the American Dream”.
The bubble thing is more the financial aspect. None of these AI companies are profitable and they also don’t have a clear path to profit. For some time the business plan of Open AI was literally develop advanced AI and then let the AI figure out how to make money. Yet, these companies attract huge amounts of investment and are responsible for basically all of the economic growth in the US.
Nobody thinks there are no uses at all for LLMs or image generation etc. or that people in general hate all AI. It’s a bubble because a lot of money is being invested in something that nobody managed to make profitable yet, so if the investment stops, then these companies will all implode.
There is also the fact that AI is being shoved into a lot of places where it really is quite useless. Search engines are the most glaring example of this. LLMs aren’t suited for integration into a search engine, and yet every search engine in existence has had one mashed into it and advertised as the greatest thing since sliced bread. And they all universally suck at it.
What benefit? Seriously, what benefits are you actually talking about?
Maybe they exist in niche areas, like improved translation software or some such thing, but maybe that’s just normal “use computers better” technological advancement and not actually anything magical.
