At what point can AI companies play the “too big to fail” card though, like the banks?
Bubble bursts, and the government uses our taxes to bail out the companies. Again.

Even as consumer revenue remains sizable and maintains steady year-on-year growth, it finds itself competing against segments that grow exponentially faster and earn more per unit.
So it has nothing to do with people having less money. It honestly gives me hope, things could change with a bubble burst.

The nazis will bail out everyone who bends the knee and submits a bribe. It’s not like they’re spending their own money…

The point is to make the bubble butter, then they’ll pretend that’s why they have to edit consumer market.

Bingo! And they’re doing it to enterprises too. Why do you think copilot is shoved into everything? Why do you think Recall is creeping towards being mandatory? Why do you think OneDrive isn’t optional anymore?
They don’t just want your data for advertising. They want to watch the entire capital machine in real-time to make sure there aren’t any gaps, and dissent, and most of all, anyone getting the jump on something new and big. OneDrive to rule them all.

I hear ya.
It pisses me off the way they market this shit as AI; just a god surveillance tool, hiding behind a fucking chat bot.
And, anybody reading who’s tempted to defend the technology, fuck off - it’s a prediction algorithm. A fancy one, but that’s it. There no steps or logic or reasoning. There’s nothing hiding in the “black box”. No steps taken to construct the response - just statistical analysis on steroids spewing out most likely matches.
