My view of AI (9)

AI business deals are getting a bit 2008-ish

What a (financial) mess

The Ai bubble will burst. Can't wait because it's been destroying the PC parts prices and supply.

I just heard that research shows that every two weeks more AI music is created than there is music on Spotify. The fact that several AI-generated songs are in the top charts on Spotify is further evidence that the music industry is slowly collapsing. I'm glad I chose a different job that isn't subject to AI influences. As a hobby being musician is okay.

That's like a lion saying it's glad it doesn't eat grass, since a plague is killing all the grass. When the antelope all starve, the lion will too. People in jobs "immune to AI" will find their customers all disappear due to losing their jobs, and then the "immune" people will lose theirs very quickly also. No one is immune to this insanity.

the AI bubble will burst before that happens

Oracle’s collapsing stock shows the AI boom is running into two hard limits: physics and debt markets

OpenAI isn't too big to fail. It's bigger.

They graduated from Stanford. Due to AI, they can't find a job

A Stanford software engineering degree used to be a golden ticket. Artificial intelligence has devalued it to bronze, recent graduates say.

Going to be the case for lots of fields. There's already a battle going on with gaming graphic designers.

Speaking of which

Sony developing AI that censors games in real time.

From the source Article

Sony, ever the pioneer, is toying with a future where any game can be flipped into “kid-friendly” mode on demand, and an AI system is holding the scissors. A newly surfaced patent outlines tech that can automatically spot, censor, or even replace problematic content in real time, turning mature scenes into PG experiences without the developer manually building a family-friendly version of the game.

At work it seems every week, or even multiple times per week, there are major outages with Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Office 365, Cloudflare, etc. Probably due to AI generated code. I don't recall these frequent outages all the time from major providers before.

Wish this Ai bubble would just end like a Chernobyl meltdown at this point already

Got to 2:08

Glad I built my PC this summer. Not that it was cheap even then.

[LazyPooky]

This is usually the time I go find a new computer or computer parts, but I skip for now.

Yup no AMD 5 with DDR 5 for a while now. Chuft lucked out.

You know what the most annoying part of that video article was.
When he talked about the new Nvidia Graphics card with 72 gig ram.

Do you know how long Nvidia gamers were were screaming at them to increase
the graphic card memory from 8-12 gig options to 16 and 24 gig? A long time.
It was like pulling their damn teeth out. Now all of sudden it's hey we
have a 72 gig card real fast.

Yup no AMD 5 with DDR 5 for a while now. Chuft lucked out.

Now you have me confused.

I got this

DDR6 and it's the cheapest card they make.

[chuft]

Or do you mean non video memory?

I got this




now it's

He's right about that 15:52 to 17:14

Specifically at 16:47 - 17:14
