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?
Ah. Interesting.
We're already in a cyberpunk dystopia, I want arm improvements dammit!
Hey, I totally back arm improvements.
You have an arm on your back?
Wild flex butt ok.
I really hope some rich people lose a ton of money when the hype settles
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
They wont, it's the normal people who'll lose the rich people money.
:( :(
