We’re in the mask off era and given how little is getting done even with what we know from the trump-Epstein files, how can anyone claim a video could compromise them?

I’m trying to imagine what kind of tape could result in actual consequences but I just can’t.

I don’t understand this, who the fuck let them in?

Did they honestly just show up on a boat without any due process?

The AI boom is so huge it’s causing shortages everywhere else The $700 billion AI spending spree has few precedents. Good luck finding an electrician or a reasonably priced smartphone.

Or it could also be case of sunk cost fallacy. They have already put unimaginable amounts of money into it, backing down now would mean most if not all of that is lost.

Holy shit, I didn’t think of that angle, I think you’re probably right and that is horrifying cause I know they have no problem with letting us plebs go down with the ship and using their golden parachute.

That requires it to provide something other solutions can’t (or no longer do).

People need taxis, uber drove them out and then increased the price, so people used it and ended up paying a similar amount to old taxis (maybe a little more).

People don’t need AI, if chatGPT stops working, you can just use a search engine again. Sure you might not be used to it and feel dependant on the chatbot, but if it’s free compared to a big price tag, the path of least resistance would be to use the cheap solution.

The only way is that if your brain dead enough and rich enough to pay high prices, but these robber barons are ensuring people don’t have much cash.

While I agree with you, is there anyway to know how much an average prompt (let’s say a coding question that used to be a quick google search) costs?

I really want to ask people, would you pay X per prompt?

Cause most people “love” AI cause it costs very little

But critics worry that the up-front costs to develop AI have become so mammoth that the investment can possibly pay off only if AI reshapes life, work and the economy in a way that uncorks massive new profits for these technology firms.

So this is why I don’t think it would pay off:

Haven’t they already shoved AI in every aspect of our lives? I’ve literally seen tooth brushes with AI.

Putting aside how much normal people hate AI, if you already have integrated it everywhere, how can you grow further?

Seriously, we’ve already hit critical mass and now some people actively avoid it, even if you force them, how would the AI revolution look any different than what we have today?
