Yeah. OR. You just ignore the bullshit until the bubble burst. Then we'll see what's left and it will not be what the majority think.

There seems to be a lot of churn, like how js was. We can just wait and see what the react of llms ends up being.

The "bubble" is in the financial investment, not in the technology. AI won't disappear after the bubble bursts, just like the web didn't disappear after 2000. If anything, bursting the financial bubble will most likely encourage researchers to experiment more, trying a larger range of cheaper approaches, and do more fundamental engineering rather than just scaling.

AI is here to stay, and the only thing that can stop it at this stage is a Butlerian jihad.

AI has been here long before LLM’s… also I dislike the people seemingly tying the two terms together as one.

Borg logic consists of framing matters of choice as "inevitable". As long as those with power convince everyone that technological implementation is "inevitable", people will passively accept their self-serving and destructive technological mastery of the world.

The framing allows the rest of us to get ourselves off the hook. "We didn't have a choice! It was INEVITABLE!"

And so, we have chosen.

I maintain, the web today is not what people though it would be in 1998. The tech has it's uses, it's just not what snake oil sellers are making it to be. And talking about Butlerian jihad is borderline snake oil selling.

Not even Butlerian Jihad will stop the current progress at this point.
