I had a boomer normie ask me how to use AI to develop his new “business” website telling me that he didn’t want to hire a developer if the developer would just use AI anyway.
This guy doesn’t know what a router is, and was asking me for help trying to understand what the AI was telling him, and it was the most basic shit.
When the normies are trying to invest in AI, they’re the last to invest and know to throw money at it. That was a big signal to me that the bubble is about to pop. Money is running out and the boomers are trying to get in on it.
Maybe, maybe not. Bitcoin circa 2017 underwent a similar transformation and if you avoided that investment you would have missed a big opportunity. Time will tell but mass awareness isn’t the predictor.
Why would someone ask a person to explain an AI response they didn’t understand? Like, you’ve already offloaded the most important part from a human brain (getting a fucking answer)… Why wouldn’t you at least then ASK THE AI TO REPHRASE AND SUMMARIZE the response you didn’t understand? That’s the thing it’s actually good at doing ffs.
Exactly this. If you hear people talking about investments around the Thanksgiving table, its time to bail. All the smart people got in months ago and have left, they are just looking for bag holders now.
Eh, they’re an evil company and all that, but the force majeure seems like a non-issue:
Instead, the notice would allow the company to delay payments should the facility miss its 2028 target to come online.
It just means if the development misses the contractual deadline, they don’t have to pay until it comes on line. Seems reasonable to be honest, why should you be held to your end of the contract if the other party doesn’t meet theirs?
The real problem here is a combination of: the environmental and ecological impacts of the data center, the impacts on the local communities, the ethics (or lackthereof) of AI and lack of regulatory oversight, and the surveillance state that they’re using it to build.
Focusing your critique on the force majeure just kind of misses the point
Oh, great, thanks! You’re a real lifesaver. [Proceeds to pay more than he would have paid for the real developer, to spend more time to create vibe-coded tech-illiterate trash.]

Lmao, I think all the smart people avoided investing in AI in the first place 😂
They are also the largest group by far. Doesn’t really mean much aside from the fact that adoption is now widespread.
I don’t think it’s going to add up to a trillion dollars a year though, lol.

…to “meet demand.” …
He’s saying “there is no bubble.”
You’d think he would know better…
Full disclosure, I did not read that. But I did see the headline.
Now that I have read that, I feel like it is a cry for help.

how much skin does Softbank have in this game.
Didn’t they just start a partnership with one of the big US tech companies like 6 months ago or something?
Sam Altman or someone like that has probably got their tendrils in this guy’s head…
They are the ones, Oracle will soon not be paying anymore, because of Force Majeure (techcrunch.com) …

Well it is SoftBank.
Guess I’m going with AU then 🤷
It will. The real question is - what will be the price of a loaf of bread in the multi-trillion dollar economy?

nope. their capex alone is going to destroy them, then their investors will realize they’re all fucked and the real fun will begin
That’s the real truth. Run like hell when luckless chumps show up looking all enthusiastic
If AI is so good they should try asking it that. See where that ends up.
That’s the right strategy. They want to use ai, so let them. No need to speak to professionals who will use ai anyway.
I can tell you how to use AI… for money.
Oh, great, thanks! You’re a real lifesaver. [Proceeds to pay more than he would have paid for the real developer, to spend more time to create vibe-coded tech-illiterate trash.]
