I've seen some bullshit at CES, but I've never seen such an aggressive gaslighting - AI that doesn't work but is reported as if it does, robots that do not exist that are discussed as if they do, broken demos that are reported as functional. It's a disgrace, I am disgusted.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

No, AI isn't "the same as Blockbuster becoming Netflix." Blockbuster didn't threaten the global power grid and water suppy while also demolishing higher education and the creative sector. It's not "inevitable." It's tech by capitalist shithawks who think learning/making anything is beneath them.
