Certain companies like OpenAI *may* crash, but AI itself is too compelling to ever crash. Even when if the algorithmic capability plateaus out at the current state there'll be people working on it, utilizing it. There are still MANY domains of knowledge that haven't been properly added to AI. For example, I recently asked it for some CNC machining code and it spit out garbage, whereas it is objectively capable of writing complex algorithms and functions in Python or C. Obviously that's because the nerds working on AI focussed more on computer science. At some point the AI will be good enough to assist in a lot of engineering tasks such as CAD/CAM and also architecture or even civil/environmental engineering. Same thing with other fields such as finance and medical. It doesn't have to be perfect, we're still going to need human domain experts. The AI output just has to produce something tweakable.

600 million people use it daily, they're making 3 billion prompts every day .. they aren't going to stop, not any more likely as them stopping using the internet. AI has been adopted faster than any other technology in history, furthermore people don't abandon its usage unlike VR headsets that people bought and used for a week. People have stuck with using AI daily and it will become as routine as using google or brushing teeth.

Comment Why OpenAI failed. (Score 1) 40

Don't read this comment now. Bookmark it and come back to it in 5 years. OpenAI failed because they wasted the $1 trillion dollars. They couldn't build the requisite data centers, the software couldn't improve because it got caught up in management quagmire .. they couldn't really scale far beyond what they have in 2025, and most of the CPUs they acquired sit idle.

Note .. we've seen the pattern before for example when Meta suck 10s of billions of dollars into VR with nothing to show for it. When GM, Ford, Volkwagen, Apple, Uber, and other car companies sunk BILLIONS into self-driving cars with absolutely nothing to show for it.

We get it bro. For everything that happens, your comment is always that it could easily have been prevented if only we'd just have communism. When I stub my toe on some furniture, you're there to remind me that if we'd been living in a Marxist utopia such a thing wouldn't have happened. After all, I wouldn't be able to have any furniture.

Comment Re:Inaccurate statement (Score 1) 126

I don't wanna argue about whether someone who has a strong male-associated characteristics can force people to consider them women. What I am saying is that scientifically, logically, the "man" and "woman" category cannot encompass all human phenotypes. There isn't even a practically usable definition of either. Please give me the algorithm to ascertain whether a human is male or female. I guarantee I can find a situation by which it fails most other people's definition. For example, if you said a person with a Y chromosome is male. Then I will find situations where someone without the Y chromosome has a penis, and a situation where a person with XY chromosomes got pregnant naturally and had kids.

This isn't about who should be allowed in what bathroom. Science doesn't care about who needs what space.

Comment I hate these stupid "what if AI .." questions. (Score 1) 96

What if AI figures out you're a fucking moron? What if the GPS gives you bad directions? What if your coffeemaker breaks? What if your anal beads stop working during a chess match with Magnus Carlsen? You do nothing. Does that work for you? You do nothing. Or, just replace AI with "what if a human .." .. "What if a human gives you bad directions?" You fucking punch him in the face and move on. Just do the same with AI. Dumbass. Humans do all the mistakes that AI does. So does any mechanical object that breaks down.
