I’m curious to get a general pulse on how people here view the rapid evolution of AI, specifically on lemmy. On one side, there’s growing interest in local open-weights models, self-hosted setups, and practical developer/productivity tools. On the other, there seems to be a growing list, I can't keep track of, that are seen as major concerns. I'm not here to pick sides or be biased in one corner. Im genuinely curious what people have to say about AI in general. And maybe it will help me and other get a better handle on how we perceived it in our ever changing world.

It reminds me of early 90s PCs...

Everyone was convinced if you "knew how to computer" that's all you needed. Every school bought a shit ton, and kids would get an hour a day to just dick around and play games.

None of the adults understand any of it, so we grew up learning to be thech support for the people teaching it to us.

AI will eventually end up like PCs, it won't be a magic solution, but it will drastically cut down on available jobs and transfer wealth to the wealthy.

The smart move is to sit it out till someone actually makes it profitable, then we could dump billions into it now. We can't beat China because their companies actually have to compete with each other.

We should wait till the dust settles over there, then dump the money on copying what they do. Just manufacturing whatever chips design they settle on.

Racing R&D with zero manufacturing just isn't logical.
