    I think this “AI” (a marketing term) bubble will flop per the article we linked in the post: this is a bubble fueled entirely by investors, mostly VC, throwing money into a fire of unprofitable businesses selling services at a loss that don’t actually work.

    I spoke to a pile of AI industry peons who think the VCs will get sick of setting money on fire by the end of this year. I woulda given it two years myself - there are hundreds of billions of dollars desperate for a home - but the number I was consistently hearing in March was “three quarters”.

    Maybe the Nvidia price will weather it. It took a hit when crypto crashed, though not a huge one.

      The next AI winter can’t come too soon. They’re spinning up coal-fired power plants to supply the energy required to build these LLMs.

        For Christ sake how many meaning do you think VC has?

        we’re talking about a frequently used initialism on this community, which you may want to read more of, or not. Did you find this post by keyword searching?

        Bragging how you didn’t read something is also ill-favoured here.

          shit, thanks to the orange site and tech hypercapitalism in general, VC in the investing sense is an incredibly commonly-used term everywhere in the industry. so between them pretending your site won’t load and flip-flopping between being a tech investing expert and someone who apparently doesn’t know fuck about shit… well, you know what I’m thinking

            so just to confirm: you’re a tech investing expert who posts on Lemmy but doesn’t know about archive links or extremely common tech investing acronyms? is that correct?

                  David I have terrible news about your co-admin:

                  they’re an actual troll in this and every context and I have thereby blocked them

                    btw if you go to the dude’s home profile he tried to delete all his comments to this thread to cover his trail

                    unfortunately, he’s banned from this server, so his deletes didn’t make it here
