Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

Looking at the Google provided tests for different LLM models, their accuracy barely grazing 60% for facts and knowledge!! That's SimpleQA Verified and FACTS Benchmark tests. It means LLM may hallucinate and give wrong answers 1 out of 3 times!

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees. $30 per seat per month. $1.4 million annually.
I called it "digital transformation." The board loved that phrase. They approved it in eleven minutes. No one asked what it would actually do.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

The core thing about "AI bubble" is an enoromously inflated value given to LLM!
The rest of ML and statistical modeling are well integrated & contribute value to the industry. LLM also contributes a value. However, salespeople have been so aggressive, and others blind that this bubble got created!
