I agree that that is the most likely outcome. The downside of them selling so much bullshit for so much money is that when it does go, they’ll have scorched their own sandpit, so to speak. Hence “at least”.
Maybe. But there really are some valuable things in this wave. And not all the things people think. I’m personally more excited about #CausalML than #LLM! No one knows about CML but it will be remembered as a product of this wave.
Yes I’m afraid all the #aihype has drawn money away from more traditional #neuroscience research. Seems like neuroscientists have to use industry tech like #deeplearning and #genai to get funding. Even when it’s not sensible. Hopefully #aibubble bursting won’t affect basic research 🤞🏻
I think it is possibly worse than what both of you are thinking. The AI bubble is so big at this point that (particularly if it holds out another year) when it bursts it might bring down the world economy. Money for neuroscience research might be the least of our problems.
It certainly has a tech bubble 2000 feel to it, but worse. Which is why the big money is so desperate to keep pumping billions more in the hope some magic will spontaneously happen. But someone is going to blink next year, and it will be brutal.
That’s interesting- tbh I was not thinking that big. You mean like the fact that so much of the recent stock market gains were big tech and nvidia? And if nvidia and Microsoft’s share prices crashed there could be a contagion. What else were you thinking?
