I can’t wait until it’s 2050 and all the AI cultists still think the singularity is just around the corner. Their schizophrenic rants are gonna be so funny.

Watch this… watch this shit right here… look at this…

//Recursive render loop
const renderLoop = () => {
    console.log("Frame");
    requestAnimationFrame(renderLoop);
};
requestAnimationFrame(renderLoop);

There has to be a hype machine. Data centers rely on processing AI slop, and the logjam of billions invested needs to exit to the public markets. CEOs need to warn of imminent robot takeovers because of the hyper investment in advanced search and autocomplete is less spectacular. Even mistakes are billed as “hallucinations.”

Hallucination means mistake, no AI evangelist will deny that.

Does it matter if it's a bubble? LLMs can automate a lot of human work, even before they work out the mistakes, it's already happening. When the .com bubble burst the internet didn't go away, but the people predicting the AI bubble bursting think AI will be done when that happens.

My company has voice AI answering calls for clients, and switches them to a human if they press a button. We have 6 staff that answer calls, but we really only need 1 or 2 now. No one's been laid off yet, but the next time profits fall they could lay them off without losing anything.

The genie is out of the bottle, but everyone is pretending this is a fad. It will hit labour like offshoring did.
