Cada vez es más complejo entender el porqué de las cosas, o igual simplemente es que nos hacemos viejos. Para sobrellevar este ruido mediático tan bestia, mi fórmula siempre ha sido soltar lastre y aprender a disfrutar de la irrelevancia creativa. Saca tus acuarelas y pinta flores. Hay que respirar.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

La IA es el futuro, nos mejorará increíblemente la vida.
Lo que ha hecho la IA por mí:
- Joderme el sector laboral de la informática.
- Hacer que los trabajos/exámenes sean muchos más exigentes porque si no lo hace la gente con IA
-Nueva secta de generar negocio junto a los criptobros

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone
- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware
but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Disney is supposed to be the home of creativity and artistry. Only the best were supposed to be chosen to work in its Burbank studio.

Exactly. Altman denies the knowledge that traditionally has been passed along by family, friends, local communities, and (if all else fails) the printed word. Altman needs to devalue all of these in order to replace them with his sludge.
So he can't figure out how to do something that has been done billions of times in every society that has ever existed. Let's put this guy in charge of everything.

Pretty much everyone seems to think the AI bubble is about to burst - including those at the vanguard of the AI revolution. But few people seem to know what happens next. My latest for @fastcompany.com explores who'll be left standing www.fastcompany.com/91448362/ai-...
When the AI bubble bursts, who’ll be left standing?
Most people seem to agree that the AI bubble is going to pop at some point. But what happens next is more uncertain.
