2 things here...3 really

1) Fuck xtrends, fucking clown

2) Elon thinks OpenAI is a scam for 2 reasons, neither of them the right reason. First and most important, that he got pushed out. Second is that he has a competing product and he'll say whatever.

3) No, xtrends, you fucking goof

This is not true. LLM's are not the perfect system for that because that's not how they fucking function. They're not a searchable database the way we're used to it that pukes out an answer accurately every time if the information is in it's data set. It's a pattern guessing machine with a ~70% rate of answering your question accurately and makes shit up that sounds like the right answer the rest of the time.
 
My interest in this is more cultural and economic than stock price. I think it says some really bad shit about what we are and where we're going that a product that hype cycles like that don't just exist, but are completely predictable. I don't see how the the hyper financialization of everything ends up any way but dystopian for society. That these are getting so big that they can completely reshape the stock market, wallpaper over massive economic issues on a GDP level scale before they've shown any actual tangible value at scale is probably a really bad sign for us moving forward.

If we're not in a drastically different social paradigm when a real game changing technology happens, the fuck is going to happen then? Real AGI, life extension, fusion, etc.

For this bubble, yeah it'll pop eventually and the shockwaves are probably going to be fucking bad due to how much money gets lost, how much money basically evaporates in one event and all of the knock ons that creates. Dunno when though, irrational markets stay irrational longer than something something solvent.
