Is the AI bubble popping? 

Just wait a couple hundred years. All metal mines and so on will be exhausted and the state of recycling is absolutely garbage... We're heading back to the stone age, once it's not cost effective to pick up and process 2 gram pieces of metal from a land fill.

totally agree

Was going to say, they’re suffering from the same management issues that a lot of tech startups have. Growth is put ahead of everything in the blind faith that if they get big enough they’ll somehow magically become profitable

They are correlated.

The advancement in society's mode of production from feudalism to capitalism circa 18th century led to great scientific advancements during capitalism's early stages. However during its later stages, capitalism begins to hold back progress for profit

It's part of the natural ecosystem. Money is leafy, just like my salad. You gotta eat good leaf, not ice Berg lettuce which tastes good (I love the crunch) but has little nutritional value and psyto nutrients. You need good leaf, and good salad dressing too, as well as good non gmo tomatoes, onions, and sprouts. Will AI sprout into a beautiful garden salad healty for all of us? Or will it contain lots of weeds and sticker bushes which ensnare even the most agile of wabbit.

Came here for AI, left with salad phd

@@amorkvoc6338😂😊😅

They don’t spend billions in a model, they spend money on an ecosystem and hardwares ; hence the demand exceeded the supply of GPU & TPU. Generative computing is the next step of our technologic revolution. We won’t use « pre recorded commands » through our IT systems but instead we will input prompt to create (generate) an output, customized from start to end, to our demande. The ROI is exponential for the big bucks, they already get millions profits out of their investments. Just take Groq for instance, you’ll have a great view of the global picture ^^

Investors are absolute idiots, but yes it makes perfect sense, it won't just last for a few months, it is stepping stone towards full automation

With crypto, the problem is that it's not an investment and it's more of speculation, you are trying to "predict" when the coin is going to go up or down, but it's more akin to gambling rather than anything else. Also fun fact, day trading is also considered speculation. That's because there's no way a singular person has enough knowledge to understand singular stocks without proper knowledge and studies and how they would behave, usually professionals do it and they still get outbeat by stuff like indexes in the long term. But nooo guys, "Shitcoin v.3.0.1" is gonna go to the moon guys just hold. Guuyys, AI is going to replace our jobs, now keep investing into Nvidia and don't think about it, AI is so advanced it's responsible for all those layoffs, and is totally NOT a red herring for the fact that we overstaffed our offices after covid, nooooo. (Sarcasm of course)

there is this dude in this comment section, saying that investors are too eager to put money in IA because they dont understand how it works. Maybe this firms are a demand for this supply of eager investors...

Yes it called supply the normies, have u seen what hoops and frikken somersaults u gotta go thru to get to these. everything is just way more difficult, im quite savvy . but even i scratch my head with API, tolkens, x per minute.

The fear marketing is the thing I find most obnoxious about AI cultists. They're trying to sell us these algorithms through negative hype, convincing us we need to fund them to stop Skynet when in actuality thye're just snake oil salesmen. It's all a big protection racket.

Very sensible take, refreshing to read someone who understands what current AI tech truly is. Have my like good fellow

because you have a primitive mindset and incapable of adapting to changes

Because you don’t want to become poor and life to be meaningless

because AI bros frame things in a threatening way

Because there’s no reason, historical or otherwise, to think the Silicon Valley tech bros in charge of it will share any of the bounty from their AI revolution with the rest of us. In fact it seems much more likely they’ll use it to accelerate the funneling of wealth into their pockets from everyone else’s.

Totally agree. Separating the business dynamics from the impact here, but you’re right that the models are innovative and needed in the space.

We need a new model to supplement capitalism. Some thing that allows what Stability did, but doesn’t look on it as a failure. We need a system with different incentives. It does feel like a coordination problem.

Yup. "Average American could get richer" just rang the "you mean the already rich Americans could get richer" bell for me. This is why statistics courses are important! Which average: mean, median, or mode?

Interesting. Thanks for adding.

The current AI is only a proof of concept of sorts. Yes it's impressive on its own, yes it's amazing what you can do with it, but its MAIN meaning is that we WILL have significant progress into the direction it points at. It's like seeing a weaving stool two hundred years ago. "fabrics will become much cheaper" and "weavers will face a difficult economic future" is a fools reaction to the beginning of what we now know to be the industrial revolution. It's not about fabrics or weavers at all. It's about the potential of the underlying mechanism of machines and automation. We automated physical labor, and that revolutionized human society in a way never seen before. Ai will automate intellectual labor in a similar fashion. Does it revolutionize human society right now? No. Did the ability to automatically weave carpets revolutionize society back then? No. You are right in your assessment that we require significant progress for it to be revolutionary technology, but it's absolutely foreseeable progress. It WILL happen, and that is amazing. Look at alpha fold for instance. That ain't no joke, it's not trivial, it's INCREDIBLE and it will only continue to become more and more incredible by the years. It's not worth it following the AI news cycle. There won't be a crazy breakthrough, it's going to follow a similar pattern to the development of other technologies. Steady non linear growth, incremental progress, but before you can tell it's at a level where it changes everything. The first plane didn't change anything, but by now EVERYONE travels by plane. Everyone can be anywhere within days. You can generate short texts now, you can generate images or short videos. Soon everyone will be able to generate almost anything. We don't even need AGI for this to be true. It's perfectly enough if we have very capable specific AIs. One AI to plan industrial processes, one AI to design technological applications, one AI to write poetry, one AI to plan cities, one AI to control robots, one AI to solve math problems, one AI to interpret statistics etc. Today we experience the first steps of a technology that will carry humanity on its back. Can you imagine asking a hyper intelligent philosophy AI on how to live a full filled life? Having a conversation with a Psychologist AI about your mental state? This is potentially extremely powerful technology. That is what is amazing. Not GPT4, not lama 3. Those are childrens toys compared to what will be godlike tools.

​@@carlpanzram7081 I like your enthusiasm and optimism on this topic. We should consider a few points though. I'm pretty sure you would need a near AGI level AI to do any of these things you mentioned on a reliable level. So even an "Industrial systems only" AI would need to reason and have proper logic regardless of context, everything else and below that would be process automation which already exists today in one form or another. Alpha fold is mainly based on human labor, human preperation and dedicated curation of usable data. The final execution of pattern recognition is a small part of that long human labor driven road. (It was used to hype up AI talk). I think hyperintelligent philosophy already exists in form of religions and other theories and their teachings its condensed wisdom in shortform (though some aspects are pretty dated). To live your life fullest is maybe a bit pressure inducing maximizing concept which would probably lead to an automatically created state of unfulfilled unhappynes. Try to strive for as much happyness you can aquire given your circumstances while respecting the boundaries of those around and ideally create happyness for many others int he process is the best you hope for in a life. Eventually AGI will happen but then we are at the mercy of a more powerfull entity like animals are to our technological civlisation (its all fun biosphere and understanding until a wild animal attacks your children or lifestock etc.). So we will see how this futuristic scenario pans out the best thing would be to give a good example how to behave towards each other because any AGI will be the "child" of humanity.

@@carlpanzram7081 All true. This already happened, I'm sure you're aware... or at least suspect. What we see around us is--and always was--generated by the very software you are describing. We are participating in a kind of interactive history lesson, essentially. In the higher strata of reality there is no fundamental concept of time. What we experience here in the the third dimension is a carefully contrived simulation of temporal sequencing and causal apparatus. Given that, I mostly wonder what "branching" features are available to its participants. I've wavered back and forth whether or not to slide sideways into a very human, very physical existence--off grid self-sovereignty to be specific--or follow the trail to a technical mastery of the simulation itself. Right now I have one foot in each world, but I know I'll have to commit to one plan or another soon. Any thoughts or advice are appreciated.

I agree with you that AI ad copy writing apps will not create huge innovation, but I don’t think it will take AGI in order to help academics, scholars, and scientists in meaningful ways. The next generation of models that is about to be released will show huge boosts in LLMs critical thinking abilities, and will be surprisingly good at helping people study topics on a deeper level, including scientists.

Yeah the strategy seems to be: 1. Build a big user base 2. Scramble to find a business model that works for it It worked for Facebook. Will it work for AI?

Yeah most of us will just be out of work, watching the local billionaire buy yachts the size of small towns and zipping back and forth to Mars with supermodels so weird they no longer have human faces while we decide which people are the most ethical to eat.

​@@VisiV those supermodels _will have mouths_ , though. It's just that those mouths won't be usable to chew food anymore, as they will be either genetically modified of surgically altered for... Other uses. No worries though, as the supermodels will be fed by IV. Also, by that point they will have _100% absolutely convinced themselves_ that they did that to their bodies by their own choice to provide a better service to customers, that this is how an economy works, and that they are just being "more competitive" than non-altered women, and anyone who says otherwise is just envious. You know? I'm starting to think the end result of this whole game isn't even a cyberpunk dystopia. It's increasingly sounding like collectively summoning an eldritch abomination...

Depends on what the people demand. If enough people wake up, and realize the implications AI will have on our economy and society, they COULD demand new economic standards. For example, we could implement something like an AI Dividend for all. Acknowledging that AI exists due to decades of everyone's data, that gets collected and used to train AI. Since it's guaranteed to out compete a majority of workers someday relatively soon, we need to find a way to ensure everyone benefits. We cannot continue the outdated concept, that jobs should be used to determine how we distribute the basic resources people need to survive. That must end, as well as any worldview that relies on that mentality.

@@GrumpDog Butlerian Jihad now !

@@luizdevil6855 That would pretty obviously only make things infinitely worse. I'd much rather see AI cause the end of capitalism, and the start of something better.

I knew we were dealing with a cult phenomenon just like Bitcoin and nfts when the employees at openai rallied to bring back their fired CEO. Discussions with people regarding AI is just like talking to cultists they have a fixed set of beliefs that reality cannot penetrate.

​@@angelainamarie9656 What on earth are you talking about it's no where near comparable to BTC

It is incorrect to think it's an "industry of thieves and conmen", it is not. The problem is, AI exposes how much of a scam capitalism is! AI tech is the future. Futurists have been predicting it for decades now. And it requires we change our societal standards, the very ways we value other humans. Jobs, and being able to compete, cannot determine survival anymore. And due to it out competing us, and everyone's data went into training it, it owes us all an AI Dividend.

dont worry, they are. it's just that it takes a significantly improved architecture to outweight using models with loads of resourses about them

Yeah the field is dead. Everyone jumped on the LLM/transformer model and said that's the final result. That's the best we can do and nothing else even makes sense to look at. AI winter will happen, and we'll probably pick back up in 20 years. Hopefully next time people will be smarter, but they are people so we know they won't be.

​@@InfiniteQuest86People says this about every new technology. Why do people keep doing this instead of trying to benefit from it?

@@overman2306 That's not true. But if we focus just on LLMs instead of historically, we are in a situation where for every 1 person saying this there are half a million riding the hype train to no where. And it's usually the minority that are warning everyone who turn out to be right. We're in a situation where people are scared that AI is actually a threat to humanity, and I don't even think it can do anything useful. I've yet to see a single use case that I would want to do and I'm not better and faster and easier than trying to convince a chatbot to do it. I want to be proven wrong, but no one has ever said anything convincing to me before about it.

@@overman2306he isn’t saying AI is actually dead, just that it’s going to take longer to manifest than many supporters think right now. I personally agree- there are limits to the current systems that we will run into somewhat soon- just increasing training data and depth leads to diminishing returns from what I’ve read. Development on the fundamental architecture of AI systems is needed to reach the kind of goals many people are thinking.

The duality of man. But in reality, it’s all about the mighty dollar, which separates the classes from each other, utilmately someone will sell out, for exchange for an immediate gain……anyways, when are the Q2 earnings reports coming up?

This. A speculator buys hype, an investor buys hope, a consumer buys value.

Productive economy requires physical educated labour force, which is currently pressured financially in the West, as all production migrates to the lanor market with cheaper labour. The only possible solution to issues of financialised economy is to either make it goverment planned, as in socialism, or to give complete control to monopolies, maintaining capitalist interest through economic imperialism.

Customer service. Replacing legal services. Real time artwork generation for fraction of current costs. Automated accounting. These are all 'real' economy examples I see happening on the grond. GenAI has a lot of real benefits

@@CP-bp7me Are legal services a real economy? of course, when the laws become so complicated and tangled, that it takes someone specially trained to understand them, and on the other hand, when people's hope is not to produce something of value that contributes to everyone's well-being, but to sue or defraud the other, it can be clearly seen that the legal profession creates a "real" economy by itself. Are accounting services real economy? of course, when the tax rules become so complicated and tangled that it takes someone specially trained to understand them in order to make a simple tax return, and on the other hand when people's hope is not to produce something of value that contributes to everyone's well-being, but to evade or defraud, one can see that accounting creates a "real" economy by itself. Of course, every healthy real economy needs a layer of services that support the production of real goods (that can include accounting and law) and the care of human beings who participate in that economy (health and education). But that layer of services, is precisely at the service of the human being and the economy (an economy that in turn serves the human), otherwise it becomes a cancer that eats the human and the economy, as we can observe today. Now, an interesting observation, I find it very curious that when you think about real economy, those are the examples that come to your head. But, before discussing, if your sample are examples of a real economy (and to what extent), I would first like you to provide me with concrete examples where generative models are replacing lawyers (i.e. giving you legal advice in a situation where you lose money or freedom, and where you fully trust those tips), or give me an example of generative models are replacing accountants (i.e. automates all your accounting and pays your taxes, and you trust that you will not have problems later with the government or with your clients), I would also like you to give me an example of a Chatbot that gives you a really satisfactory answer for problems that cannot be solved either by the humans of the first tier who respond based on a list of questions and answers (that is, they are already functioning as machines). And finally I would like you to show me examples of art generated by these models that is really creative and allows, for example, your site to stand out from others, because so far what I see is that the sites that use "art" generated by those models look similar between each other and boring (basically like the sites using "cheap" human art, i.e. when the human, again behaving as a machine, is mass producing with slight variations).

Yep, these boards will largely be an afterthought in the pursuit of profit. When their competitors make ethically questionable business decisions but are making incredible profits, other companies will be quick to abandon their principles. The only thing that companies will be forced to comply on is government regulation. Even then companies look for ways to cut corners that eventually end up costing billions, people getting injured or even deaths.

That's not what oversight board cares about. You're thinking of a regular board. Oversight board usually has no direct stake in the company.

Machines can handle higher volume at cheaper price. Ofc there is an over enthusiasm but machines are often more efficient.

Ah, yes, AI: Assistance by Indians.

Yeah there's no way these models are profitable given the huge amount of trial and error required to produce a decent output, and the power consumption each run has. And it has already been established that if we wanted these models to produce specific, precise output, it'd require an exponentially larger training data and time than even what GPT-4o has. Even specialized AIs such as Devon have been overmarketed failures. You can get away with imprecise output when generating an image or video, but code, the law, medicine, etc those are things that AI just can't handle reliably

Great points. The business model has to be ironed out or the money is going to run out for a lot of these companies. Thanks for watching.

Chatbots are just one kind of transformer for text, the latter of which is one AI architecture among several with more to come. Both lauding and criticizing chatbots come from the same premise of them being the future of AI which is false hype

@@therollerlollerman as soon as I see more resources going into developing other types of transformer networks that actually solve problems effectively, I'll change my tune. Until then, transformers are in the same category of speculative value as LLMs. To be clear, I don't even necessarily disagree with you, I could absolutely see transformers being useful, it's just hard to see those applications emerging from the noise. This all feels like a NN topology got WAY overblown, and we're overlooking the real applications in favor of pretending we're close to AGI, haha.

@@zacharychristy8928 I don't think this architecture overall is heralding the coming of AGI either, just that it is quite useful, among other useful tools. The speculative part is just how the US economy operates nowadays, more speculation leads to more monopoly control in the future where you can just collect IP rents as a business model, no need for real useful applications

@@therollerlollerman which is kind of a shame, to be honest. It feels like the greatest minds of our generation are all toiling endlessly just to find new ways to sell ads and stake IP claims. Personally, this is why I prefer to work in tech fields that DO solve real problems. Ive worked in the DoD refubishing nuclear warheads, and Ive worked for a little local company that made and sold embedded controllers for HVAC units. I got high commendations at both jobs, but I learned way more and felt way more accomplished and fulfilled making little computers that controlled humidifiers rather than nukes, lol. Sometimes I think people think the biggest difference will be made by trying to solve the most financially attractive problems, but ironically that's not even always the best way to make the most money, let alone make any difference at all.

Also, the AI rice cooker.

There is a scenario where AI exacerbates inequality. Needs to be figured out as these things develop. Thanks for watching and adding!

​@@Synapse.OfficialI find that scenario to be the most likely. We already see it happening with artists.

In our capitalist system, any growth we experience will be split in the same way as our wealth currently is, because it's capital that gets things done, and capital demands revenue. I'll just make up a number here to make my point. If, say, 80% of all wealth is in the hands of a few people, then most of any growth will go to them, because it'll be them who put up the initial capital for a new idea to take off. This in turn will make the imbalance even more acute.

Enthusiasm will die off when marketing and lying CEOs can no longer attract investors and stocks plummet

Interesting idea. Thanks for sharing.

Great point. The trajectory is staggering. The business model just needs to be ironed out for some of these startups.

Agree

I don’t agree with this vision. AI is yet to prove its effectiveness in any space whatsoever. It alucinantes all the time, it still saying things totally wrong in a super confident way. LLMs are tools of language, not tools of reasoning and intelligence. I can see them being used as accessibility tool to interact with technology and to help summarize and translate in a more effective and fast way but saying that this will change humanity is like saying google translate will change humanity. We are overstating the impact of current LLMs. Next gen AI will take decades so we’ll be stuck with transformers for a long time…

Interesting. Thanks for adding. Funny idea to think we're somewhere between google translate and AGI. Where we are on that spectrum is a fantastic debate.

@@absint0o so lets say we take the self driving model as an example. Theyve been saying full self driving is right down the corner for the past 10 years almost, yet we still havent gotten to level 5 self driving, though 98% of the technology is there. If we get 98% to agi, even 90%, society will change. The economy, relationships, culture, entertainment etc.. all of these things will be massively effected. I dont think we need AGI for mass change.

but they did solve the 5 finger problem....

Bruh what are you talking about? The 5 finger problem was resolved 9 months ago 😂😂

Also we went from horrible AI generated images in 2022 that looked really bad, to perfect images in 2023

Interestingly, the "people" who say we are 97% to 99% there, are the same people who create and market these solutions. Musk, Altman, Huang, etc. If you read any AI specialist, they'll tell you that it isn't going to happen anytime soon.

There’s another interesting one I saw a few days ago regarding diminishing returns based on an in depth study using captured results and extensive testing over lots of subject material. It shows that the effectiveness of results start to diminish when you aim to get more nuanced, less available information, and requires far, far greater inputs of training data than expected. Makes me think that the AI music hype that’s going on right now will produce good results but it’s not thinking out the box enough and will sound like every other common thing in existence.

As far as the AI assisting a worker to make them faster, I see some merit in that, BUT, and it's a big but, in my own personal experience coding with the help of an AI, half the time the wrestle with the prompt in order to stop the AI from generating the same faulty code over and over again, is really time consuming, if at all possible. Not to mention I'm using my household's entire energy consumption in a day each time I reprompt.

If it was that easy, they would have created reliable, safe self driving cars years ago.

@@nk-cn9sv no, we’re dumber than we think we are. You know how much of the world is kept running by just phoning shit in? Almost all of it. There’s like 10k really smart people in every discipline working on really hard problems and the rest of us are just regurgitating their work. Generative AI is just a new way to build these hacked together ideas.

We have yet to train a self-driving car for long enough to earn its drivers license. We expect a car to learn in months something that takes a decade and a half of pre-work to prompt? Seems silly. We haven’t had power or instruction capacity for all that long to make that kind of progress. Complex adaptive systems take time to build and adapt. The intelligence isn’t the problem, it’s the time horizon.

Interesting. Falls in line with the dot-com era outcomes.

This is how the VC model works nothing new

Interesting. Thanks for adding and watching!

So true. But unstable bubbles have a way of disrupting the important stuff (ethical and effective progression of great tech). Thanks for watching!

@@Synapse.Official I will keep my hands over my eyes and ears! Then bad doesn't exist!

Buy low, sell high! Thanks for watching

k, boomer.

it's in any industry, and it always will be as that's human nature, there'll always be a few bad apples

I'm in fin tech, I work with a lot of these people. These types are "serial entrepreneurs", ie they build something that is an MVP but produces little value and no money. They drive a hype cycle, sell to someone caught up in the hype then rinse and repeat. I cannot think of any industry which has this level of pump and dumping.

ACCELERATE

AI is on an amazing trajectory. The funding bubble… not so much.

Watch the GPT-5 release later this year. We're not ready.

I suspect the "infancy" assumption isn't quite correct. The saddest truth is - even the good AI engines mostly rely on their large model size and not much else.

Thanks for watching. Agree the progress is heading that way. Bubbles just have a nasty way of messing with progress.

i agree. AGI will be "just 10 years away" for at least 50 years 😂

​@@zokalyx 😂 like fusion power

@@zokalyx Well, according to expert predictors and based on required capabilities, its more like a few months to 8 years away, but only few people believe its going to take 10+ years. lower 25% Mar 2025 median Jan 2027 upper 75% 2031 The methods to make an AI which recursively self-improves without human intervention pretty much exist, its just not been put together into a coherent framework yet. We don't really need new paradigms, discoveries, etc. Only more efficient hardware. Unless of course we do get better algorithms in which case not necessarily even that is required. So I guess it will be "the next best foundation model drop" time away for about 3-4 more releases.
