my boss didnt live in the US during the dot com bubble, nor was he aware of the Crypto Crash, so he didn't think the AI ads on the superbowl were a cry for help from the tech bros and it is stressing me out bc I thought it was super obvious we were witnessing the same desperate playbook a 3rd time.

The silver lining to this whole thing is that it all ties into the current AI trend, meaning it's unreliable and could simply collapse on its own in a few years when the bubble bursts.

The biggest difference between the Dot Com bubble and the AI bubble is that the fiber cable that was overproduced became useful eventually and didnt need to be replaced every 3 years. Gen AI data center compute can *only* be used for that purpose and it *rapidly* depreciates.

If the product was as good as they say it is, they wouldn’t need to shove it down our throats during the Super Bowl

The best indication that AI is a goddamned bubble of shit is their frequency in Super Bowl commercials. AI will go the way of NFTs and crypto.

Like half the ads so far have been for AI slop services. Yet it doesn't look like any of them use AI. They also have really boring use cases for AI.
Reminds me of the dot com bubble. Remember when Pets dot com had the most expensive Super Bowl ad ever and that sucked too?

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books.
She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it.
It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

They are the literary edition of NFTs. Worthless financial instruments, masquerading as art, preying on the naive/gassed up.
I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

Using GenAI to write or make art is putting yourself in a market with massive supply and very little demand. You turn yourself into an interchangeable commodity and expose yourself to deskilling. Taking the easy way out is ultimately ruinous to you and your peers.

Working people are worried about how AI will impact their job and their future. That’s why 80% of Americans want common-sense guardrails for AI.
Decisions that lawmakers make now will impact workers for years to come, and they must protect working people.

And I think people don't fully realize *just why* AI is the ubermensch of scams: not only did it corrode everything it touched, it destroyed the foundations of software engineering via the slopcode generators, allowing execs to destroy the profession + it spawned a massive infra bubble to boot.
