That is why Microsoft and Google are paying influencers between 400K and 600K to sell their AI products:
But hey, those are very serious businesses, they must have done their research and run their cost-benefit analyses to ensure they spend their money wisely, right? Quote:

@tante Meanwhile, IBM is already marketing „quantum-enabled AI“. Because executives from lots of companies believe they want it.

AI isn’t just enhancing the business model. By 2030, it will be the business model. Here are five predictions that can help business leaders prepare to win in an AI-first future.

It is AGI, but only until you measure it.

@ariarhythmic not fully true. Microsoft and Google do have the cash. Not from "AI" revenue but from all their other sources.

@tante Indeed, but it's probably safe to assume part of that recklessness in spending is caused by their jump in valuation from the bubble
It's stupid anyway, though, I don't see how that 100,000$ given to a YouTuber could provide a substantial return on investment

@HolgerTDittmann @tante '79% of executives say AI will significantly contribute to their revenue by 2030, but only 24% can clearly see where that revenue will come from.'
Never have I read a clearer illustration of why the easiest way for large companies to immediately cut costs for zero downside would be to fire their executives.

I have a new business plan. I'm going to offer a service where I will survey a company's executives to find these people, and then personally hand them a P45. My rates will be low because my job satisfaction will be immense.

The worst thing that could happen for them is that ai gets rejected like the mini-disc.

I think the issue is you are applying logic to the situation.

But the tools for software development, i can tell you as a software engineer, that this stuff just revolutionized our field completely. It's a tectonic activity that just changed it for good. Those who deny it are those who still haven't used it seriously and in 2-3 years will be at risk, if they don't start now.

@tante @ariarhythmic And that's the worrisome part for me. It's almost a given that most of these AI companies won't survive because they aren't profitable. But Microsoft and Google don't necessary need it to be profitable. In the end, AI will likely stick around and be controlled by one a few companies. Doesn't sound worrisome at all...

'cuz you are absolutely right, what they are doing is stupid as hell. They are ignoring all the warning klaxons going off that it seems like everyone else is very aware of, but I guess that's why they are super genius CEOs and we are just regular fools and normies.
I just hold out hope that when the bubble bursts, it'll take out companies like Microslop and Oracle. They'll probably get bailed out, but it is fun to dream of a world without Microsoft!

@alebaffa2 @tante Sorry, your scare tactics simply don't work on us. "You're at risk if you don't start now" is pure hype.
