I begrudge having Antelope Internet when we could have a more inclusive Antler Internet.
Ah, you mean the Antlernet, home of the Herdiverse.

Where can I find this mount?
The last one is a cleverly disguised "Datenelch".
"AI" is the new "blockchain".
You summoned the crypto bros.
And the few people still into blockchain will be like "what if we combined both blockchains and neural networks?"...
Actually blockchain is going to change the world.
Any minute now…
It's similarly hyped but deep learning has real applications wherever huge amounts of data are involved. The only application to blockchain tech is online crime.
Not really. You can use crypto to make non-criminal transactions too. You sound exactly like EU politicians, "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear". Are you saying that you don't need privacy with your transactions? If privacy is outlawed, only outlaws will have privacy. And it's the same with crypto.
Theoretically yes. But practically, the whole tech hasn't reached any noteworthy application at the same age as the Android OS.
The tech is garbage because of its inefficiency and blockchain's only selling point, trustlessness, is a lie because you have to trust someone eventually to get your tokens - or your notary substitute not to fuck up the code of your smart contract (lol).
This only works for criminals in countries that don't give a shit if you scam foreigners, like Russia, for example. They know full well who those criminals are though. But that's fine. Blockchain tech never was meant for privacy (how could it with the ledger being public?)

Sharing this post I made 5 months ago:
I'm an IT consultant and I had a meeting with AWS yesterday. My manager asked me to give the AWS team an overview of our solution so they could see what they could use for a new program they were pitching our clients. That's all the information I had, so I started the meeting by saying "I'm not sure what you all are proposing, so I'm going to give you a high level but please let me know where you need more details."
After I had finished giving my overview, I tried to get more info out of them about what they were proposing to build. I shit you not, their response was that they wanted to "build an app that allowed the business to run with AI and ML (Machine Learning).”
They didn't say, "we want to solve X and Y problems" or "enable Z functionality." Literally their entire goal was to build something with AI. I'm glad I wasn't on camera or in person, because I literally face-palmed.
Time to "build" a D&D campaign with an LLM as the DM.
If someone poured a shitload of money into it, and had actual humans on quality control and some writing... You could generate a setting with a bunch of NPCs who have generated back stories and connections and shit.
And it would still come out as some of the blandest of bland as for as game went. But hey, a bad game is better than no game right?
We're already in a cyberpunk dystopia, I want arm improvements dammit!
I really hope some rich people lose a ton of money when the hype settles
They wont, it's the normal people who'll lose the rich people money.
:( :(
Regular people will lose a bunch of jobs in the process, as they try to replace workers with AI. Then as the AI inevitably fucks up, the companies that fix this will start to fail, and no longer be in a position to hire new human employees to fix the problem. So unemployment will go up, and only the large monopolies or oligarchies will be able to recover. So overall, this is going to suck.
It feels a little dot com boom 2.0
It feels exactly that. (Even down to the reliance on massive purchasing of new hardware.) but the effects will be much more widespread, as it won’t just be geographically in some tech areas, since this will touch a bunch of non-tech jobs.
So, is nvidia the cisco of this cycle?
Yup
Edit: or the Sun Microsystems
Ah. Interesting.
Hey, I totally back arm improvements.
You have an arm on your back?
