Saw a headline today that OpenAI plans to spend $1T over the next five years.

Their most recent revenue is estimate is $12.7B for 2025.

Everyone knows this is a bubble but no one knows for sure when it will pop.  I can bet on one thing, it's not going to pop until all these scams go public.  The oligarchs have to cash out before the rug gets pulled.

I don't know exactly what is going to happen.   Or when it will happen.  But I know with 100% certainty that the bolded WILL happen.

Because the laws of this "capitalist, freedom!" economy are (1) rules for thee, not for me, and (2) privatize gains, socialize losses.

And we have half the country defending that approach to the death, and calling anything that dares question it "EBIL COMMUNISM!"

From what I've been reading and can gather, I think most people are comfortable with the ebil communism in terms of national security like rare earth minerals and Intel, as they should be.

That said, of course a bubble is going to burst and of course the sharps and the monied are going to more or less be fine, but not because of some evil nefarious backroom abilities, but because they are the market makers and their cashing out is going to be the timing and cause of the collapse IMO.

Beyond AI, the market is in need of a correction and that's the scary part for us Jimmy and Joe's with one or two million in net worth and not 100 or 200 who can stomach the crash and take advantage of it by buying cheap.

There are some cool things video-wise, like this - I’ve used a similar tool from a genealogy service on some old photos and they match what relatives remember (or what I saw as a kid).  In the below video, you can compare a few of the figures like Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca to real life film footage.

They did a fine job with Cléo de Mérode

Soon, you will be able to make the porn of your dreams.

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

That's going to go over well with CTOs and CISOs who will soon realize their very same APIs used to assemble boardroom presentations can be intermixed with hentai pr0n and age-verification PII collection.

Customizable porn is the best business case yet from these people but I still don't think it justifies the trillions in capital investment

Sam Altman is doing a delightful job of diluting the legitimacy of his product, where over the last quarter, he's attempting to be everything to everyone, guaranteeing his platform will be trusted to nobody.  He's recently placed or proposed the following:

  • Walmart's mass-market retail and e-commerce partnership
  • AI compute infrastructure and energy
  • Custom chip manufacturing, which I'm not sure is even tangible
  • LinkedIn-replacement employment and jobs search
  • Robotics and consumer embedded AI
  • AI-driven digital identity systems
  • Sora's social media AI slop

And now... adult content and generative media experimentation.

The rise of AI NSFW Companions is going to break so many brains. This will be a billion times worse than that time Screech got hooked on the attention of the waitresses at Skeeters in Saved by the Bell.

But honey, my AI companion really enjoys ass-to-mouth.

One of my favorite YouTube channels - deep dives on classic sci-fi and literature/films/TV.

He uses the point of people claiming to have remembered seeing some scenes in the original Star Wars movie that would have basically been impossible to be there.   The missing scene was in fact filmed, and most Star Wars fans have now seen parts of it or at least heard about it - stills from the scene made it into 1970s picture books, novels, comic books, etc.

From the perspective of a historian, there are paper trails, contemporary interviews, etc. that cast doubt on those claims of people having seen it in the 1970s, and that all goes out the window with AI in the future. 

Only 10 minutes, but sobering to think that future historians trying to track down what is or is not true, and prove or disprove collective memories, is going to be near impossible because of AI.

edit: he makes a point that people could be convicted or even killed because of bogus video in the future,
