That thumbnail looks like a motif from the Ringu video.
It’s so frustrating to see how egregious the future tense has become in all the talking about these products. Also the anticipation of a killer app is never going to sound not desperate.
I’ll do that as soon as the Grankhammer lands on the whitehouse lawn
I’m sick of things being hyped on potential too.
VR is an example. (Michael Abrash predictions anyone?) Unfinished games are an example. (Multiplayer Cyberpunk 2077 anyone?)
VR is such an incredible thing for me because I somehow avoided any and all hype around it, then got to play around with some oculus thing at a conference and play Beat Saber and was like wow, this is really cool
And then you start reading people compare AI hype to VR hype and I’m just sitting there being like wait, was this ever supposed to be more than a Beat Saber platform? What did they claim it would do? Oh no.
The ultimate purpose of AI was always to tell me what digit this is, anything else is just grift
“Sure massively wasteful ‘AI’ systems could somehow solve the climate crisis but they probably most definitely absolutely won’t” so they probably absolutely won’t lol. Half the time it works every time…
Credit is a funny thing. If you merely exist in proximity to a solution, you can, by some means, claim credit to it.
“AI solved the climate crisis, because look, the climate crisis was solved, and some people also used AI!”
