@stux if that one can, then you toucan.

@Jackgiantkiller yikes.

Get better, there.

@stux Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuure ::wink wink::

::finger in ear:: Mup, mup.

@stux ::shrugs in Monty Python:: it's just an Archer voice over... ::ducks::

@atomicpoet you're missing mine. I never said anything about probability.

@atomicpoet like I said. Everything is blahblah, until the numbers come crashing down.

You can't use make-believe criminal ("crypto") money to anchor some financial loop and pretend there is a chance it will work out. Techbro billionaires give other techbro billionaires money that was not there and pretend they doubled the total money involved. That is not a healthy, viable, feasible Economy, but can be played in stocks. It's make believe wink wink stuff.

@atomicpoet I don't play stocks. Or any games of chance. Or lottery. Studied Game Theory for too long, watched my family lose money in the dotcom, and other people lose much more on other such instances. I worked too hard for my money to burn it away on snake oil, so nah.

LLMs are a bubble. Any self-referential massive investment without links to any other sector of market, in a broad, viable economy is a bust.

We shall see, and can revisit this, perhaps sooner than both of us expect?

@atomicpoet I guess we will see, then.

I am old enough to remember the '08 sub prime thing, how it went.

EVERYONE was also saying that subprime loans were baaad, hmmkaaaaay.... and yet, banks kept on dishing them out.

See, there was already enough capital SUNK into those to warrant a bubble, when that money didn't quite come up the other side...

All EXACTLY as the LLM/ai bubble coming.

@atomicpoet I think euphoria about "ai" is basically an excellent description of thew past couple years, yes.

@atomicpoet at this point, a bubble is all but plain to anyone who is NOT too invested in the scam to admit they were scammed.

#LLM #ai #bubble

Netflix would have canceled "Firefly" in its third episode, or so.

@stux Also: Voyager WOOOSH.

@stux FALSE ADVERTISEMENT
