In the post-Trump era (now that the "blue" tsunami is worse than every in any ocean/sea, opinion piece makers have started declaring the Nobel Peace aspirant persona non grata, though certain sane voices are maintaining that he is by no means a spent force!), the hot topic is the AI.
What with spy sagas openly doing the rounds (some bitter dose of their own medicine to these privacy marauders), and the skies n the space being declared safer, is it indeed the case that the AI is a bubble about to burst?
Sad memories such as the Lehmann fiasco cum tragedy, the dot.com debacle must send shivers down the spine of those in the know as much too much is riding on the AI back
Well, the AI is energy intensive as much as it is capital intensive. Apparently, it is guzzling not only gallons of water. It is draining down many safes and bank accounts, and the returns are not much to write home about. In fact, the AI is more a circular economy wherein, instead of healthy returns given a shopping spree of sorts by the buyers, money by the investors is 're- turning', but without any dividends, they have to plough back the seed money for the show to run!
Of course, whether it is a bubble about to burst or not, the AI has changed the very perception by the day and beyond, the very notion called humanity, the concepts of the private space and the public sphere. Hence fingers crossed!
Pratima@ One wonders what would happen to multiple social media sites promising to finish off 'claude' in three hours, and so on. I suppose, they would go after newer fields, and new victims! In brief, wait n watch the AI (r)evolution, is the moral of the story!
Quote of the day: Stephen Hawking says, "Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks."
Word of the day: bubble A bubble is an empty space filled with gas. It symbolises something surprisingly empty, despite the obvious promise!
