Two great sources to get you started:

Michael Burry, the guy from The Big Short who foresaw the housing crisis of 2008. This guy know his numbers: https://michaeljburry.substack...

Ed Zitron, investigative journalist. He's been cataloging the AI bubble for a few years now, demonstrating that AI is not profitable and not AGI: https://www.wheresyoured.at/

These guys are in-depth, detailed, and thorough. You'll have to put a few hours into reading them to really understand all the details, but you can get a pretty good AI summary quickly, ironically enough. They both say essentially the same thing: LLMs might be a useful $1000B SaaS vertical, but they are not a $5 Trillion replacement for human labor - and we're investing capex like they are the latter. This is a bad thing.

AI gooners are always telling us what it *will* do if we just wait a few more years - AGI is just around the corner! -The plain fact is that LLM inference systems are plateauing, with exponentially more power needed for smaller and smaller gains. The limit they are hitting is real and far below AGI.

We are reaching the flat part of the curve, where a change in the order of magnitude in model size is yielding only slight, incremental benefit. We are reaching the hard limits of what large language models can do.

Fetterman is the guy who makes moderates lean left; he is a net gain for the party. AOC and El-Said are the socialists who make even progressives think twice about voting Democrat.

Meta created the mental health equivalent of smoking, and all they get is a slap on the wrist. Go read The Anxious Generation by Haidt or Girls by Freya India. They profited off suicide, bullying, objectification of girls and sexualization of children; itâ(TM)s all in there. However angry you are at social media companies, itâ(TM)s not nearly angry enough.

So true. What's the old proverb? "When the elephants fight, it's the grass that suffers."

AI is proving to be a useful augment to skilled humans, but not a replacement. We were promised a robot and instead have invented a robotic arm. I think LiDAR based driving is headed in the same direction.
 
The systems they have invented are a great augment to human judgment, but not a replacement for it. I would love to buy a car equipped with Waymoâs lane and collision detection, but I would certainly not trust a Waymo in most cases and especially in serious weather.

Snow, rain, fog, changes in roads, construction, flooding. There are hundreds of novel situations Waymo fails at. It is easy to trash your competitors but far harder to deliver true driverless cars.

  And before the Waymo gooners show up to defend them, lets just get this out of the way: Waymo has millions of short trips, but all of their miles combined are just rounding error on the number of trips that happen in a single day in the United States. The plain fact is that they are largely unproven from a statistical perspective, especially on highway and novel situation driving

Is that AGI you feel, or the icy waters as the ship you're on goes down? Either way the Mag7 are going to see a huge correction in their stock price and global reputation after wasting a trillion dollars chasing godhood.

Conservatives do not like everything he does; they simply consider him the best or maybe least bad of all possible candidates. Dems are offering socialists and real tyrants; remember Covid lockdowns? The majority who elected Trump sure do

Sandisk and SK Hynix are fleecing everybody - pc and phone makers, NVIDIA, the Mag7 - which means we are all paying a ton more for their products. They are essentially an oligopoly along with a small handful of memory makers. Did they do this out of the kindness of their hearts, or to create a standard they control to their own benefit?

This is just demonstrably false. Urban core is extremely well mapped and far less variable from a weather perspective - the inner-city roads get cleared faster and more often.

If you step out of line, even a little, against the accepted narratives on subreddits, get ready to be harassed, bullied, and banned. Reddit still has some truly awesome subs with great communities, but all the major ones (/humor comes to mind) are sad shells of their former selves.

Unfortunately no. Wayno has failed at all but the most happy-path uses. Give it anything even mildly unusual and it fails. It will do fine for a small sliver of urban core driving but it will not be replacing truck drivers ever.

OpenAI is bleeding money. They need the hype and panic to keep the VC money flowing. The tech press is a willing and useful idiot in playing these games, breathlessly reporting how we could accidentally make Skynet any minute nowâ¦
