I get that people who sell AI-services wants to promote it. That part is obvious.
What I don’t get is how gullible the rest of society at large is. Take the norwegian digitalization minister, who says that 80% of the public sector shall use AI. Whatever that means.
Jared Diamond had a great take on this in “Collapse”. That there a countless examples of societies making awful decisions - because the decisionmakers are insulated from the consequences. On the contrary, they get short term gains.
And that’s why it’s being done. Everyone hopes that they make it out at just the right time to make millions while the greater fools who join too late are left holding the bag.
Bubbles are great. For those who make it out in time. They suck fo everyone else including the taxpayer who might have to bail out companies and investors.
Always following the doctrine of privatizing profits and socializing losses.
Plus everyone else that pays taxes as they will have to continue to pay for unemployment insurance, food stamps, rent assistance, etc (not the CEOs and execs that caused it that’s for sure).
the ceos, C-SUITES and some people trying to get into CS field are the one that believe in it. i know a person who already has a degree, and sitll think its wise to pursue a GRAD degree in the field adjacent or directly with AI or close to it.
A grad course in AI/LLM/ML might actually be useful. Its where my old roommates learned about Googles Transformers and got into LLMs before the hype bubble in 2018.
Home might get ahead of the curve for the next over inflated hype bubble and then proceed to make unearned garbage loads of money and have learned something other than how to put ChatGPT in a new wrapper.

How many tech bubbles do we have to go through before we leave our lesson?

what lesson? it’s a ponzi scheme and whoever is the last holding the bag is the only one losing.
