It’s inevitable that the A.I bubble will burst

[Crude]

I think it’s here to stay in some capacity; however, the long term feasibility of it replacing people is another story…

It requires a lot of electricity, water, and other resources making it highly expensive to use and likely not a viable alternative to human capital right now.

It’s cheaper to just pay someone.

It should be interesting to see where it goes as the technology matures in the years to come though, but we are at minimum likely a few decades away from using the tech how these companies would like.

If they used solar they could maybe do it, but we’re doing absolutely everything backwards these days.

Solar just like all renewables is a non-starter for AI power generation.

If you don’t actually create or own the underlying technology that you’re connecting A.I to, your business is in trouble.

Facts. Big Beautiful Bill was horrible for the renewable energy sector, which could have helped with power generation and freeing up resources.

I tried looking for some clean energy Power Engineering job listings after I finished school and there were far fewer than when I started in school. This is one of those industries that should’ve kept growing. The industry has actually seen recent layoffs because of that bill. Crazy.

Oh it’s completely fukking stupid. We’re becoming a third world country thanks to Trump and the dumb fukk MAGA’z who re-elected him.

Do you know he signed an executive law that lets them use cancerous weed killer in our wheat, oats, and bean production? That is some China shyt. It’s not even in the news cause of all the other stupid shyt he does every day.

There will be a shift for sure, in its simplest terms they are banking on our abilities not to be communal. As a people it serves us to move away from consumerism and develop an analog skill.

We’re too intelligent and have enough infrastructure to not become 3rd world status (in most places) but everything indicates a change in how we live every aspect of our lives.

70 percent of OPEN AIs revenue comes directly from subscriptions which are paltry compared to the amount of money that's being burned monthly isn't adding up. the fact that a majority of these companies have been called out for manipulating the depreciation of the GPUs to cook their books on how much they're actually losing. Add to the fact that Nvidia and Open AI are just investing into each other in a circular manner where it's hard to tell where the money is actually being sent. Google, Microsoft, and the other big players can sustain for a bit longer. But investors want to see a return eventually. AI is viable but it is grossly overvalued at the moment from a stock perspective.

The question everyone in AI asking: How long before a GPU depreciates? https://share.google/lG4FSkFdkGOW17S4y

OpenAI being unprofitable doesn't mean the whole AI market will be unprofitable. Existing companies that leverage AI in a profitable manner will come out on top. OpenAI likely will get bought out for the low low once the bubble pops if they don't find a way to generate revenue.

Gotta ask yourself what is AI good at? More specifically what are LLMs good at. What industries rely most on what LLMs are good at? With how expensive LLMs are to run on a large scale whatever they are improving on either has to be really expensive already or LLMs have to produce so much more output that it multiplies the revenue. In a lot of companies the obvious answer is the people. So they tried using LLMs to replace salaried workers. Billionaires want slaves. Fully automated workers that can produce innovative work 24/7 is a capitalists dream. Turns out they aren't good at what people do for now.

There's a huge misunderstanding about we call AI rn and what people expect which is AGI. You're right in the sense that if the money doesn't flow eventually money poured into AI research will slow and the industry will move attention away to other things until the next breakthrough. It's a race to see who can create the best monetization strategy for LLMs first and OpenAI is no longer looking like the front runner.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Most likely outcome.

As I was saying…

The average business is not utilizing AI like that. With that said the ones that did jump the gun will soon have to hire folks back. People got caught up in the hype.

Even influencers who were talking ubi last month are now talking about the bubble bursting. Zero cred but if you say what folks wanna hear you don't need credibility.

Similar to the dot Com bubble there will be some winners but alot of losers with this AI shyt. The amount being spent on Capex is astronomical and the returns may not be worth it for most companies. I remember 2020 when the Metaverse and all that shyt was gonna take over according to some folks. That ended pretty badly

What can you make with it?

People keep saying this but all we get are wacky AI videos of people stealing a celebrities likeness and using it in some bizarre way. Where’s the brilliant piece of literature? Or music? Or full length feature film with character development and a narrative arc? They don’t exist.

All we are using is Agentic AI and AI agents and I say this as someone who actually works in tech and is hands on with the “implementation” of AI at my company. It’s all cap. Yes you can use Agentic AI or AI agents to speed up your workflow and cut down on tasks for productivity but that’s not something that is going to change society (at this point).

Where are we putting the goal posts here? Just at movies? I can make personal use apps for most kinds of things people pay SaaS companies to use. In fact a claude code account makes most SaaS companies irrelevant

With AI (agents or otherwise) you can spin up an entire website in minutes. Content and all. With good prompts AI art is good enough to create concept art and a sprite sheet for videogames. A months/years long process shortened to days

Like bruh people are teaching Openclaw how to make shyt in Blender right now

The basic free plans are just like an more in depth google search.

But the tech leaning use cases are more intriguing to me. Basically the purpose of the $100+ plans. Been playing around with Claude code and the ability to communicate with external services to pull data/context in to your session and the ability to build your own services that integrate AI have a lot of potential. I saw a girl who basically built a solution to replace her property manager and it can source contractors as well as verify work via uploaded pics. shyt like that will require technical know how but people can basically build anything they can think of damn near

yea, SAAS companies got caught with their pants down. why continue to pay license fees when a company can just spin up their own version of service now or salesforce and have it perfectly tailored for your companies domain and use cases
consulting is another industry that seems like it's going get destroyed by AI. AI can do the analytical work and create the spreadsheets and power points

Anthropic's MCP seems like huge security risk to me. Seems like a bit more cyber security work is gonna be needed when that becomes mainstream.
