A striking anthro character with flowing turquoise hair streaked with neon green and purple poses seductively, pulling their hair back with both hands. Their tall black ears and soft white fur contrast with the shimmering, star-like glow scattered across their body. Dressed in a sleek dark outfit with fishnet sleeves, glowing markings, and subtle cosmic sparkles, they radiate confidence and playful allure. The character’s sly smile and half-closed eyes add to the mysterious, captivating aura, as if they’ve just stepped out of a starlit dream.

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you.

They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

"Consumers must spend $800 billion on AI within a few years, to justify investment from 2023-24"

lol. LOL. LMAO. LMFAO. OMGWTFBBQ.

Christopher Mims @mims.bsky.social · 12d

*The AI boom = one of the costliest building sprees in world history

* Past 3 years' commitments are greater than the cost of building the U.S. interstate highway system

* Consumers must spend $800 billion on AI within a few years, to justify investment from 2023-24

www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-b...

This week, consultants at Bain & Co. estimated the wave of AI infrastructure spending will require $2 trillion in annual AI revenue by 2030. By comparison, that is more than the combined 2024 revenue of Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta and Nvidia, and more than five times the size of the entire global subscription software market.

Morgan Stanley estimates that last year there was around $45 billion of revenue for AI products. The sector makes money from a combination of subscription fees for chatbots such as ChatGPT and money paid to use these companies’ data centers.

How the tech sector will cover the gap is “the trillion dollar question,” said Mark Moerdler, an analyst at Bernstein.

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown:
