1) The world is going to realize that stringing processers together to increase power to better plagiarize is not really AI, and they will move on to other technologies.

or

2) A few tweaks in the algorithms will make the software significantly more efficient, even if AI is effectively just a search engine.

Either way, the demand for data centers has about a 90%+ chance of collapsing within the next 12-24 months. Why would anyone go "all in" on providing processing power?

Over the long run, water issues could limit the functioning of data centers.

(Note I didn't say this was before the data centers were built...)

Cutting that pie into ever smaller slices only guarantees that none of the data centers will ever show a profit. This is a lot like the holding companies that collapsed in the Great Crash of 1929.

(Though 90% is quite an exaggeration, the chances are high enough to warrant legitimate concern)

I think the current generation of AI is sort of between your number 1 and 2 depending on the user.

I primarily think of it as a pretty amazing search engine or way to get quick answers to questions that you can’t easily search for. My next use case is to have it analyze my work - Eg a write up I made, some math I did and want to verify, a PowerPoint I made, etc. One of my worst traits is that I am only semi literate…grammar and spelling are fine (typos…we won’t talk about that)…but I tend to provide more information than people want….so, it’s great at trimming down my word vomit to all that needs to be said.

Straight up plagiarism…not so much for me…closest thing would be that I want to run an experiment with code that is not worth the time if I am going to spend days coding up when I have only a small bit of confidence it will be useful…if I can give it proper instructions, it can code it up very fast for me and I can run the experiment that way…that is worth it. The value is in thinking of the experiment rather than grunt work of coding it up which ai is great for. In production, I would be far more cautious.

They are trying to finance all of this infrastructure themselves through debt.

And began concentrating on the money and the clique instead of the sustainability of his business and what his customers needed.

The customer is still the backbone of every business, no matter how you define what your customer base is.

If you have to force a "new" product on the customer, that product is just as much a failure as a product that went obsolete and no one - not even third world and technologically backwards populations - can adapt and use anymore.
Like, I've been onboard with Pixel phones as they started out as "clean" Android builds - and I always cool with old Google -but
I didn't really like the algorithms they started pushing on people "for the ease and the experience" - when they could have just improved filtering and user controls - and I really hate the AI they put on that keeps getting in between me and what I am using my smart phone for, especially since there's a lot of work and coordinated navigation tasks I do on my phone that don't need an AI popping up like a friendly 6 year old wanting a cookie for offering totally out of context help.
Especially since I have to keep turning it off whenever there's an Andriod system update.

Stop keep throwing money on products your customer is just going to keep walking away.

After all, Apple and Nokia/Motorola didn't have to hang out on street corners and storefronts to physically force the average person to accept and buy smartphones, did they?

And well, you know the old saying - the house always wins.

The Epstein Classa— and that includes Sir Larry.

He and Bari Weiss..

of workers tells me that company was probably allowed to grow too big in the first place. I mean, that's an entire city, how do you even do that logistically?

Maybe trust-busting and making sure no company is "to big to fail" should be a top priority for us?

just proves that the rich aren't as rich as they'd like us to think they are.

A drop of 30,000 employees is going to affect productivity and that will affect the company's ability to service their clients. Could this be the beginning of the end for Oracle?? Let us all pray.

functions) at non-Oracle companies. The older, more senior persons, might have a chance to retire out early.

30,000 is half last month's American job creation.

I predict he will be selling one of them before the year is out.

I think more likely he won't have the cash to buy it. He already doesn't have the money, it is leveraged from his recently inflated stock value (from speculative AI investment) and outside investors. Netflix had the cash on hand. I think Warner Bros is more of a vanity project for him than a smart business move.
