I get that people who sell AI-services wants to promote it. That part is obvious.
What I don’t get is how gullible the rest of society at large is. Take the norwegian digitalization minister, who says that 80% of the public sector shall use AI. Whatever that means. nrk.no/…/regjeringen-vil-at-80-prosent-av-offentl…
Or building a gigantic fuckoff openai data centre, instead of new industry openai.com/nb-NO/…/introducing-stargate-norway/
Jared Diamond had a great take on this in “Collapse”. That there a countless examples of societies making awful decisions - because the people making said decisions are insulated from the consequences of their choices. On the contrary, they get short term gains.

Plus everyone else that pays taxes as they will have to continue to pay for unemployment insurance, food stamps, rent assistance, etc (not the CEOs and execs that caused it that’s for sure).

And that’s why it’s being done. Everyone hopes that they make it out at just the right time to make millions while the greater fools who join too late are left holding the bag.
Bubbles are great. For those who make it out in time. They suck fo everyone else including the taxpayer who might have to bail out companies and investors.
Always following the doctrine of privatizing profits and socializing losses.
