But they smell like stale Cheese-Whiz

"Cool a bit"? If the general truth about the subsidizing of prices gets out, we are looking at a big bubble burst at least as bad as the dot-com poppage.

Investor funds and market-share-fights have kept AI prices low or free, but of course that can't last forever. I suspect one prominent but stressed AI company will spill the beans about fake pricing ("we all do it!"), putting pressure on the rest to prove that claim is false, which they'll fail, spooking investors, ending the run, and triggering a recession.

All those job ads asking 7 years of experience in a product that's only been out 3 are real! Illegal pet-eating time-travelers are working multiple jobs in parallel using Flux Capacitors smuggled from Uyghur child labor camps in Jiiihna!

Seriously, though, I met a couple of coders who admitted they lie on their resumes about stack experience and even volunteered tips on how to fake it. Lying makes me even more nervous during interviews such that I prefer to avoid it. I don't have the calm and cool genes to pull it off, Sydney Sweeney got all those.

Work-from-home immigrant AI workers are eating the pet-bots! I saw it on TV!

Even if this is somehow honest, it risks bad P/R and fuels conspiracy chatter. I can see Google donating to a general environmental fund, but they shouldn't run specific programs. Google should stay in its lane.

Squeak squeak!

Just get corn-on-the-cob, it will self-pop after this mess.

Careful what you wish for, the plutocrats always find a way to make us plebeians bail them out.

Don got a gold bar in his knickers after hearing that.

"algorithmic funds" have been around for a long time. Letting neural nets guess rather than a hand-coded algorithm guess is not much different, conceptually. It's generally the type of investment that "high rollers" select.

Somebody forgot to validate the word-count

"AI will save Linux from Rust"

MBA 1: "Hmm, how can we squeeze more revenue out of this gizmo?"

MBA 2: "Short term revenue or long term?"

MBA 1: "Short term of course! It's all we do."

MBA 2: "Then stuff it with more ads!"

MBA 1: "Brilliant!

"Taiwan is booming"

Especially when Xi goes to grab it.
