Fascism was always the thing.
But the 'tech bros' never really jumped on it until Mark went through his 'existential crisis' thing.
Look up the history of the whole 'free internet ' shit. They were always corporation ass kissers and remarkably antifreedom. I remember that stuff from the early 2010s.

AND the huge AR/metaverse wave!
Oh yeah that week was crazy
You know what pisses me off?
My so-called creative peers generating AI slop images to go with the music that they are producing.
I’m pretty sure they’d be up in arms if they found out that an AI produced tune got to the top 10 on Beatport.
One of the more popular AI movements right now is DJs creating themselves as action figures.
The hypocrisy is hilarious.
AI generated stuff is fine as long as it's not the same type of content I make.
The AI hype will pass but AI is here to stay. Current models already allow us to automate processes which were impossible to automate just a few years ago. Here are some examples:
- Detecting anomalies in roentgen and CT-scans
- Normalizing unstructured information
- Information distribution in organizations
- Learning platforms
- Stock photos
- Modelling
- Animation
Note, these are obvious applications.
AI itself is not getting better. Humans are getting better at writing the algorithms that will better be able to discern, classify, categorize, identify, direct the information flow, and predict based on more improved standardized inputs.

It will eventually, when people realize it's just a giant and complex statistical response machine. It's really just giving you the words and/or set of pixels back that are the usual response to the words you provided. If there was no training data, there would be no AI.
It's like a parrot, but more complex and requires nuclear power plants to generate enough power to keep it going.
A Parrot has actual intelligence

OP here to clarify: With AI Hype Train I meant the fact that so many people are slapping AI onto anything just to make it sound cool like at this point I wouldn't be surprised if a bidet company slapped AI into one of their bidets...
I'm not saying AI is gonna go anywhere or doesn't have legitimate uses but currently there is money in AI and everybody wants to get AI into their things to be cool & capitalize on the hype:
Same thing with NFT's and blockchains. The technology behind it has it's legitimate uses but not everyone is slapping it onto things like a few years ago just to make fast bank.
Rumor has it that a certain super-rich tech mogul has am AI bidet/toilette in his house, that has to be connected to the Internet before it will work. When the Internet glitched (the site went off-line) and lost Internet connectivity, he could not flush the toilette manually.
