AI moving fast

AI's a financial bubble, nothing more. Microsoft is scaling back data centers, this leads to CoreWeave, a major supplier of GPU's for AI, taking on massive debt and no way to pay it. And OpenAI is running at a multi-billion dollar loss.

AI might be able to make Winnie the Pooh yaoi in the style of Studio Ghibli, but there's simply no mass-marketable productive use case.

And they cant copyright that shit. They are pushing this shit everywhere so they can stave off the losses.

I can't believe how fast AI is moving. It's moving so fast that nobody can keep up with it. The world has never seen anything like it. It really shows what an unregulated free market can do.
To me, the AI revolution is peak capitalism. What does AI do? AI is a powerful data analyzer that will drastically lower the cost of producing just about everything. But not only will it make everything we already produce cheaper - it will also create an avalanche of products we didn't even know we needed.

Capitalism thrives on productivity and innovation. AI is delivering both - at scale, and with compounding returns. It's the ultimate capitalist tool: a worker that never sleeps, learns instantly, and scales infinitely. Maybe not infinitely, but close to it.

Yes, but it will also replace everything that is human. Understand, there have been decided periods where man's success has led to his troubles: typhoid in London 1850-1860, Britain-German cold war & mal-alliances, WWI--atrocities of fully mechanized war, The Great Depression, Atomic Bomb, environmental pollution and the green house effect and current global apathy and cultural decline. Yes, the evolution of politics, economy, ect... may relieve some of these troubles, but not our responsibility toward them. Nor may we trust in circumstance to save us from the difficulty of addressing most of them.

This was an amazing Trump impression. It only lacked some of the finer details. Here, let me show you what it ought to have looked like:

This is what AI is going to do

Assuming the robot is not being remote controlled, that robot would be able to do 80% of the work on the packaging lines where i work. That is 30 people who could be replaced by 30 robots and perhaps 4 robotic technicians.

Said robots would likely be able to replace forklift drivers as well, self driving trucks are also being developed

Incredible, isn't it?

Labor is cost, and reducing that cost is always good, on net.

Trump would never say what you claim, because Trump hates unregulated free markets. He is a staunch protectionist and a mercantilist, in case you haven't noticed.

Incredible and a little scary


Not for me, mind you I am a knowledge worker ( not tech) and nearing retirement before I expect the robot and AI wave becomes truly commercial.

More for my son, physical labor opportunities that exist today will be reduced due to robots, AI can seemingly take a lot of the knowledge positions that exist today. So a massive adjustment will take place and what new jobs pop up are unknown to me right now.

Luckily he is a smart and creative kid so he should be successful
