But why would you possibly want a tech crash? it's not like it's been over a decade of stagnated tech, with weird fake problems being made, and ideas/products that make things functionally worse than they were before.

Finally, I've been waiting for this stupidity to end.

idk if this will stop tech bros from overhyping AI. A change in companies won't stop them from envisioning the God machine solving their imaginary problems

kriswolfheart.bsky.social•32 days ago

they can overhype all they want, but investors want to actually make money

Then they'll just demand tech companies switch to DeepSeek. As irrational as it is, I think investors are riding this train right off the cliff. They've been promised too much; An asset that prints money with next to no operating cost (salaries)

AI bros can always say the technology is getting better, and the broad strokes of this story superficially confirms that. The average person still thinks Moore's law is in effect, and investors will hold onto that dogma all the way to the bottom

RTX 5090 for only $500 later this year!

Beautiful.

The funniest thing about DeepSeek is that from what I can tell it does exactly what ChatGPT-type models do, but is actually optimized so it doesn't take 5 billion dollars a second and a rainforest worth of carbon to work.

So basically a massive tech crash might happen because, uh oh, looks like we based the entire future of our industry off of the betamax version of the emerging technology.

Me and the fellas donning our animal skins to go hooting and hollering around a fire like we felled a mammoth.

Thought of you when I heard this 😂

this probably won't end the issues that GenAI overall has, but it would be so funny if every company obsessively pushing for it in games & movies suddenly pulls back because now China's the big shot.

maybe Japanese game companies can use this to back away too, I can hope at least
