None of what I write in this newsletter is about sowing doubt or “hating,” but a sober evaluation of where we are today and where we may end up on the current path. I believe that the artificial intelligence boom — which would be better described as a generative AI boom — is (as I’ve said before) unsustainable, and will ultimately collapse. I also fear that said collapse could be ruinous to big tech, deeply damaging to the startup ecosystem, and will further sour public support for the tech industry.
Can’t blame Zitron for being pretty downbeat in this - given the AI bubble’s size and side-effects, its easy to see how its bursting can have some cataclysmic effects.
(Shameless self-promo: I ended up writing a bit about the potential aftermath as well)
Are you saying that Clippy is proof I’m right or proof I’m wrong? Or I’m I just being unfunny and not getting the joke.
who doesn’t like a good old wordless driveby post making no statement of intent and giving no direction
I swear, some days I feel like some of these people mumble “hail eris” as they wander past
