There Is No AI Revolution
(www.wheresyoured.at)
The money in AI is going to be the wages of the people it replaces. Those tech billionaires call it a revolution because getting labor without wages is the promised land for cunt billionaires.
The AI revolution is here because that's what the owners want. If you think they'll wait until the AI is as good as humans to replace humans I'll point out that self-checkout already exists.
The big problem here is that it's simply not reliable enough to replace a worker because you have to have the AI running unsupervised to actually replace anyone and it can't be done with the current technology and something that can actually replace workers is not coming in the next 5 years or so and I'm being generous.
“[Generative AI] is the leaded gasoline of tech, where the boost to engine performance didn’t outweigh the horrific health impacts it inflicted.”
I love Ed so much.
OpenAI loses money on every single paying customer, just like with its free users. Increasing paid subscribers also, somehow, increases OpenAI's burn rate. This is not a real company.

It's almost as if the "aRtIfiCiAl iNtElLiGenCe" is as big a cult as blockchain is, isn't it?
There could be an AI revolution. Send Elon and the rest of the billionaires into orbit, and they'll revolve around the Earth; they're all artificially intelligent, after all.
I'd prefer that revolution be a decaying orbit around the sun.
Hitting the sun is surprisingly difficult
Launching into deep space knowing that they'll never enter another star system on the otherhand...
Look launching our billionaires into deep space is no better than interstellar littering.
We should be better than that.
I bet we could launch them into Jupiter or Saturn no problems.
I mean, I never said anything about space suits or capsules, so the destination could be wherever!
Stellar read. So OpenAI et al keep going at the current rate, and there’s never any profit—when does it burst? How spectacular does it burst? Or will we simply have laid off a significant portion of the tech workforce and then it fizzles away?
Magnificent
Is there an audio version other than TTS? I know Ed does podcasts but the newsletter isn't one of them.
His last couple of podcasts were basically his blog posts so it might be a matter of waiting a bit until it catches up.
