    AI isn’t going to die out but hopefully it’ll get quieter and more boring/focused.

      It will absolutely die out in that it will go back to what it was previously. We’ve been using “AI” for decades now, only it’s better known under the name machine learning. This latest surge in interest is just a bunch of marketing hype and a bunch of executives too stupid to realize they’re being fed a line of bullshit by contractors promising if they hire them to make an “AI” they’ll be able to fire their entire workforce and dump their salaries into fat executive bonuses. Just like all the previous tech fads this will stop being the hot thing once enough of these douche-bags get burned and even the dumbest of them learns that no, you can’t just replace your entire workforce with “AI” and call it a day.

        The tools now are far better. You can slap together something useful with some basic Python knowledge. Hardest part is mixing up the data into giving you good results.

        It’ll hang around, but I don’t think Nvidea’s market cap is justified. It’ll crash hard, but it could be tomorrow or three years from now.
