What’s going to happen is that OpenAI and Anthropic will ultimately fold because they can’t be profitable

OpenAI maybe because it has a consumer focus and most of their users aren't paying, more likely they'll restrict free use and increase pop ups to get people to sign up

Anthropic is already profitable if you take out the enormous spend they have on training, which if the bubble bursts would leave them as the number 1 ai provider, it's also insanely in demand and has trouble keeping up with its current product, they also have several products mythos etc lined up

That will have devastating ripple effects throughout the economy

I doubt it, I think it'd be closer to liberation day tariff's or the oil crisis, it'll go down for a bit, many articles will be written about how this is the worst thing ever then 6 months later it'll be back up again

As said all the major players in this game are super profitable major companies, that won't change

Despite Lemmy doomer posting about AI every 2.8 nanoseconds it is getting better:

We propose measuring AI performance in terms of the length of tasks AI agents can complete. We show that this metric has been consistently exponentially increasing over the past 6 years, with a doubling time of around 7 months. Extrapolating this trend predicts that, in under a decade, we will see AI agents that can independently complete a large fraction of software tasks that currently take humans days or weeks.

The only thing that worries me is that:

Economists warn that without AI-driven investment, the U.S. may already be in a recession, raising concerns about economic dependency.

The US economy might already be in the shitter and AI is just hiding it

the bubble won’t burst dot com style like you’re all hoping btw, it’s not a bunch of tiny companies over valued, the biggest companies invested in ai are the biggest companies in the world

they’re not about to go broke, if anything the ai bubble popping would make them return to regular super insane profitability

We are talking about an equivalent 'pod/train car', not a car but I'll bite anyway

Have you ever been on a train? It sucks, a bus 10000% more, buses fuckin suck so much, I'm sorry for you to hear this in the echo chamber which features 'fuck cars'.

Like I said, trains and buses have 2 big negatives:

limited availability and is extremely restrictive in where it can go

Trains especially so, my local train would be a 20-30 minute walk away and it goes far south and to the city, if i don't want to go to either of those I'm in for a 5 hour marathon of a trip at best

But we should invest more in trains you might be saying, and again the question goes back to, why would a train be better than a pod/car that can roll around on train tracks

This whole thread took the original meaning and warped it into a circle jerk about trains which is not what the OP was saying

i was so annoyed it had been nearly 30 seconds since I could upvote a post about ai being bad - average lemmy user
