While I have you, do you think it’s a bubble that’s going to pop and go the way of the nft or does it live on and manage to find it’s way into everything digital?

    In response to the thread title.

    Now, this isnt meant to excuse AI and it is certainly making things worse but to be brutally honest, climate change is already irrevocably and utterly fucked. Nothing short of some form of global, hardcore Eco-Communism is going to turn that wagon around or slow it down in any large scale way. So yeah, Im pretty much at peace with it and I don’t really have an answer to it. If im seriously missing something anyone feel free to correct me.

    Now, to your second question. I assume the AI bubble is going to pop or at least deflate at some point and various AI companies will probably go under. With that said… I dont think that means the end of AI. It probably just means the industry consolidates into fewer companies. So AI slop and machine learning are probably just going to be part of the future we live in. Pure speculation on my part.

    I hope I dont come of as a doomer but thats my 2 cents.

      I’d say it’s likely AI will still be around but a lot less of it. Right now it’s heavily subsidized. Once that’s gone a lot less people will have access to it. So the sheer volume will go down a good bit I expect. Once the big LLM models cost 250$ a month and the free ones don’t exist anymore.
