A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I reject with the premise.
I think everyone knows that AI is over-hyped, and you can call that a bubble if you will.
The question which is unanswerable is how over hyped is it and when will the hype train stop or when will the bubble burst.
Everyone's pension fund is balls-deep in shares of the magnificent 7. It's the only game in town and you kinda can't afford not to be.
Suppose you decide the bubble is going to burst tomorrow, so you dispose of all your mag-7 shares and buy into renewables. Then maybe the bubble doesn't burst tomorrow, but in 2 years time, by which time everyone else who still has their mag-7 shares has doubled their value.
How many of those "mag-7" are also profiting from the genocide in Gaza?
I don't feel sorry for war profiteers loosing their pensions.
If you are Dutch as your instance might suggest, Pillar II funds are also invested in the Mag-7 whether you like it or not, so welcome to the club of war profiteers.
Not everything is about gaza.
