yes ! I think people fail to recognize that like outside of novelties there's very little tangible (something worth paying for as a business) value in the current AI boom. This was succinct and to the point but if I may make an additional argument for folks visiting here I think to stress how much money is being wrapped up in AI companies right now.

~35% of the US Stock Market is the "Magnificent Seven" tech companies over leveraged on AI right now. NVIDIA, about 20%, makes a lot of their money from sales of AI GPU from those other companies. I've heard folks say the GPUs could be repurposed for research but come on that market share/valuation is inherently wrapped up in the speculation that AI-based tech companies are going to somehow figure out how to turn a profit. If NVIDIA falls the others fall and vice versa. If those others fall you're going to see massive downstream effects on the stock market/economy as a whole.

Less bleak than. AI wiping us all out, it’ll just take down our pensions and our savings instead!
