You can't put the genie back in the bottle 🤡 Meanwhile, the genie is only kept out of the bottle by the force of literally the entirety of the world's available investment capital

  • Obviously, the models are going to continue to exist. Probably. So will the data sets, the libraries, and the generalized knowledge of how to build them and what that gets you, in a technical sense. And if you think that's what AI is? 🤡

    @jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io i love it when people use the genie expression. it's like "ah good, so you are familiar with the mythology of genies and what they do"

    @jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io "You can't put the genie back in the bottle" - spoiler alert: it wasn't Jeannie anyway, but her evil sister!

    @jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io this is one of those statements that sounds hyperbolic but really isn't 🫠

    @jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io you know, that's a good point. I'll remember that next time someone says that to me in "meatspace"

    @jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io I look at it like the blockchain, and NFT crazes we went through. Those genies are still out of the bottle but it doesn't occupy too much attention any more. I worked at an AI startup for a while (I needed a job) and the CEO cited both those periods for his current company. I think AI might have more staying power as it can be used (for good and bad) by regular folks, but I think the bubble is busting open soon enough. That job I had showed me that the market isn't there.

    @jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io As I've said elsewhere: If the genie cannot be put back in the bottle, it must be destroyed.
