I feel like the executives are all in this "AI" echo chamber. Like, most people grossly misunderstand what AI is, what it does and what it cannot do, with current tech... And all the execs are sitting around in a circle jerk making up solutions using AI, for which there is no problem to solve.
Don't get me wrong, some companies are doing cool shit with it. Not necessarily practical shit, but cool nonetheless, other companies just seem to be drinking the AI Kool aid and throwing it at fucking everything for no goddamned reason just to get in on the hype. Investors are close behind, trying to ride the coattails of their "success" to riches, and it's all just a self-reaffirming system with no basis in reality.
Nvidia is the one profiting here, all this AI smoke and mirrors needs something for it to run on top of, they're selling the physical tools to make it go. Whether it goes somewhere useful or drives off a goddamned cliff, doesn't matter to Nvidia in the slightest. They made their money. Get wrecked.
