its harder than it looks

yep. just recently interviewed to get out of this horrifying shame spiral. goin back to something more.. visceral.

all i can see are human processes being replaced by more reliable automated ones, and the compute required or provided for those isnt going to just disappear because some us-euro-centric valuation bubble.

its a service domain available on every continent and its being successfully and financially beneficially implemented in thousands of ways most people just dont understand.

there is money being made, but the false valuation is masking the reality.

is it over valued in most sectors? fuck yeah. is use of llms/ai or the building of data centers around the globe going to stop anytime in the next few decades? fuck no.

so will there be a financial bubble burst where lots of ai players lose out big time? maybe. will that affect the use of ai/llms in absolutely any capacity? fuck no. it would keep chuggin along with new owners.

i spose. as a data engineer of sorts, the llm use im exposed to is not going to be disrupted by some bubble. its providing real world efficiencies shifting cost centers from messy human salaries to 24/7 b2b services. whole call centers automated. analytical departments literally decimated. human beings are the costliest part of any business, and thats why so much effort is being put to replaces those human resources.

my success every year is based on how many positions i eliminated implementing automation processes.

for every obvious use of an llm, there are a hundred back-end, non-customer facing services being implemented. this is where people are actually currently losing their jobs, and those jobs arent coming back.

its hard to envision any bubble that is going to stop that apart from the american civil war 2.0.... and even then, id be skeptical.

meh... thats not what happens when the 'bubble' bursts... it just means that the extremely wealthy will be able to purchase all the de-valued ai resources and keep chuggin along.

ie, at no point in the future will the resources required or expended for llm use drop.

i would just point out that lemmy is merely a single platform swimming in the fediverse content waters.. there are other options that provide differing features while interacting with the same or more content. see https://fedidb.com/

im an mbin cheerleader

pointing this out while a sitting president calls people retarded and breaks dozens of laws per day, and the supreme court mentioned is busy dismantling democracy..

kinda seems insignificant at this point in the downfall of the united states

dunno man... unlike the american dicatorship they got top notch evs and shit. top. notch.

she would be pardoned by trump immediately.

laws dont matter anymore.

the only life a republican values (other than their own) is that of a fetus, and even that is temporary.

no

theres 2 groups... people trying to prove dark matter is matter of some kind... and those where 'dark matter' is a placeholder for 'anomalous mass'

as just a layman observer, im in the second camp. no need for some new crazy thing when it could very well be tied to something else we dont fully understand but know exist, black holes.
