I usually do my best to have substantive layman takes on topics like these, but truly, fuck the economy - the AI bubble bursting will solve nothing for regular people.

Ehh…you sure? I see you’re on solar punk. My first thought was the AI crash would be good for the environment more than economy, probably. Think of the water resources these things are taking alone.

My point was mostly that the economy isn't good for regular people, even in the best case scenario.

With or without AI, data centers will continue to expand and grow and suck up water - unless we design them in more sustainable ways. Even if the AI bubble bursts, the US can't exactly give up when actors like China are making great strides...

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
