The entire AI debacle is just a gold rush, but instead of poor people rushing to California to put their lives at risk, this one is gated by the amount of money and influence one needs to have before even attempting to compete in the space. Nobody is going to "win," ultimately, except the heads of these companies who will sock enough cash away to add to their generational wealth before they inevitably fall flat on their faces and scale back their plans.

Remember 3 years ago when everything is gonna become an NFT and the people who didn't accept that Web 3 was an inevitability were dinosaurs? Same shit, different bucket.

The people who are focused on solving the small sorts of problems that AI is decent at solving will be the ones who actually make a sustainable business out of it. This general purpose AI crap is just a glorified search engine that makes bad decisions as it yaps at you.
