When this ai bubble pops it’s going to really fucking pop.
And the longer we go without the bubble popping the worse it’s going to be.

AI is revolutionizing the world! A Playstation now costs $5,000 and this is the last phone you will ever own.
“.. ‘many system vendors will go bankrupt or exit product lines due to a lack of memory. Mobile phone production will be reduced by 200-250 million units, and PC and TV production will be significantly reduced.’ Yikes.”

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Watching the halftime show has made me consider my position on puerto rican enfranchisement and statehood, i previously supported it but i now think that only puerto ricans should be allowed to vote in us elections
i don’t know what the result of that would be but it’s good to shake things up

Every Super Bowl ad is for the door in the forest. It’s annoying. “You must walk through the door.” Yeah thanks, I know that already. I dream of the door every night

Hey any other successful widely adopted technologies needed wall to wall Superbowl advertising begging people to use it years after consumer products were introduced?

i worry that a 5-year stretch of nothing but ads for NFTs, bitcoin, and AI is a long enough gap that this nation's once-great advertising industry will forget how to sell a product people actually want

Embarrassing to see adults talk to robots in a public forum. That'd be like if your friend asked a mailbox for directions once. You'd roast him for decades for that shit. Every time the concept of navigating space came up you'd hit him with "Why don't you ask the mailbox?"

THERE'S EASILY TIME. We can do better. You don't get to throw people's human rights & dignity away.
