LLMs will remain, the tech is out there and plenty of open models and weights won't disappear with the demise of OpenAI and Anthropic.

However, the bubbe will cause severe economic troubles to several companies, not only tech - banks, pension and insurance funds that are buying into the datacenter hype will find themselves with no ROI once said datacenters come online. 1.65 fucking trillion dollars in debt isn't something that can be handwaved away, and that's the debt held by, effectively, a dozen companies that are failing to get anywhere near enough revenue, or growth, to justify that colossal spending.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
