From his latest article:

One of my sources has come forward and brought me a story that will possibly burst the AI bubble. The reason they brought this to me is that I’ve shown — and will continue to show — that I actually give a shit about this industry and the people in it. If you’re wondering what the story is, know that it’s the information I’ve wanted for years, delivered as I have always wanted it, and I will treat it with the reverence it deserves. Imagine what the worst possible thing for me to get would be and you’re probably close.

I must say I'm pretty excited.

I bet its evidence that the people involved in this are fully aware of the situation and are making plans for how to cash out and leave us holding the bag when it falls apart.

We can (and should) assume that to be the case, but actual evidence would be pretty significant.

Isn't that what this is? Taxpayer bailout at the tippy top valuation?

Yeah that seems more likely, such as neatchee laid out. They got the perfect guy for it. God damn it.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

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.
