Long essay about the AI Bubble

"I believe that the generative AI market is a $50 billion revenue industry masquerading as a $1 trillion one, and the media is helping.

"The AI Trade Is Entirely About GPUs, And Is Incredibly Brittle As A Result

"As I've explained at length, the AI trade is not one based on revenue, user growth, the efficacy of tools or significance of any technological breakthrough.

"Stocks are not moving based on whether they are making money on AI, because if they were, they'd be moving downward.

"However, due to the vibes-based nature of the AI trade, companies are benefiting from the press inexplicably crediting growth to AI with no proof that that's the case.

"The Fragile Five — Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta and Tesla — Are Holding Up The US Stock Market By Funding NVIDIA's 'Future Growth' Story"

This is a bubble and when it pops, it's not going to be pretty.

A tumblr thread or something:

Matthew Dow Smith(screenshotted from bluesky by depsidase): "Just remember: Arts & Humanities are so useless and pointless that Tech Bros were driven to spend billions of dollars to try and get a computer to do something that badly approximates something Arts & Humanities students could do half asleep and wired on coffee the night before the due date."

megpie71: "As a former humanities student, I feel it is my duty to reblog this one."

bramblefrump: "A tech bro tried to convince me Al was amazing cause "you could make 30,000 screenplays in minutes" not realising that every single one would be shit, you'd have to sift through everything just to find some good bits, time wasted that could've been spent just writing a screenplay.
Technology Brothers know nothing about what goes into creating a work, other than the fact a work has been created to be exploited for cash. They see creativity as an investment opportunity, not a love for humanity."

This is really important advice, especially for anyone dealing with mental health struggles or a chronic illness.

A screenshot showing a blue sky post @sarahkelly.bsky.social posted reading:

"Actually the best life advice I ever got: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. A half-cleaned room is better than an uncleaned room. Occasionally flossing is better than never flossing. A 10-minute workout is better than no workout. When it’s all you can do to get out of bed, get out of bed."

I can tell I may have made the gravy a little thick, when people ask how big a slice of it they want

Edit: Click through for the typical BS govt response that’s been added… 🙄

Are you in the UK and opposed to providing ID to use social media in the coming weeks?

There’s an official parliament petition to repeal the Online Safety Act, and it’s already at 13,000 signatures and growing: petition.parliament.uk/petitio

(Not UK? Please spread the word!)

| recently heard about a teacher who instead of
trying to circumvent students using ai, which is
impossible, she made assignments by going "ask
ChatGPT to write a report on this subject, and
then research how and why it's wrong".
Not only did the students discover that chatGPT
is extremely wrong a lot of the time, it also lead
them to realize that they should not use it as a
primary source.

Most people use the term, "luddite" incorrectly. A luddite wasn't against technology, as you all seem to think they were, but against needless technology ruining people's livelihoods and churning out bad quality shite. Given the state of 2025, we should all aspire to be luddites.

From my local WhatsApp group:

The Welsh Government are doing a consultation on its pro-trans schools policy. UK Gender Critical activists are upset and are trying to brigade it to push it in an anti-trans direction. Please fill out the consultation to try to reinforce the pro-trans stance.

gov.wales/rights-respect-equal

The deadline is 31 July 2025.

NB: Please only respond if you live in Wales! If you don't but want to help, please boost this and share it on other social networks. Thank you. ✨

@beeps If a coffee shop forced you to have cake and cookies with every cup and charged extra for the "privilege", they'd rapidly lose customers.

Doubly so if the cookie recipes were stolen from uncompensated folks and made from an ungodly mix of butter and steel washers.
