How will it succeed (in an economically viable sense) if the tech isn't great? The bubble will burst at some point anyway if the tech can't back up the expectations.
I feel like people have stopped thinking rationally (cuz I don't see any clue or potential that the machine is going to take over, at least for now) and are just going wild & pouring an insane amount of money into it...
They'll have to face the consequences eventually, but what worries me is that it might affect the people around me (who aren't doing AI stuff).
+1 for questioning my own sanity.... you're not alone! hehe

@hyeyoo@social.kernel.org The thing is while I've been thinking rationally about this, I've a feeling a large part of our peers haven't. My take is that the tech is "good enough" (see latest claude etc), that people will keep hyping it just enough that it will justify printing more money for it. In the long run will we see the harsh reality of this (hard to fix bugs etc)? Sure! Will it be too late ? Pretty sure that's also a yes. Anyway sorry my reasoning is a bit all over the place, it's just confusing times
