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.

It never burst explosively, just kinda slowly deflated into being normal and useful. AI won't do that; too much money (HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS!!!!) has been pumped in too quickly for anything other than an explosively catastrophic collapse of the market. At this point, it's a game of Nuclear Chicken between VC firms and AI firms to see who blinks first and admits the whole thing is a loss. Don't worry, though, the greater US economy will likely crumble significantly too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
The NFT bubble bursted explosively.
True, but the asset damage was largely contained there as well, since nobody actually BOUGHT ANY., and it was all fake digital assets made of fake digital money. AI/LLMslop has LOADS of physical assets, and is burning so much REAL money that it's making heads spin, not to mention the fact it has bled VC firms everywhere almost dry. It's gonna be so, so much worse than NFTs.
