    So. Everybody knows that "AI" is the future and inevitable and everyone loves it.

    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:

    "Creators can charge up to $100,000 per post, Eckstein said.
    “Some of these bigger companies have so much money to spend,” he said, “that they don’t care to negotiate.”"

        @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

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

              @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.

                  @tante People have to believe in a product for it to be profitable. Influencers have a lot of impact on society. 600k is a small price for advertising some development that has cost billions.

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

                          @tante they threw too much money pushing it into everything that didn't need any AI. Take Copilot in Windows, or in Office: just unnecessary.

                          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!

                                  @tante Street vendors of hair growers. Never gets old.

                                  And who copes with all the externalities? Browers are doing proof of work calculations to access many websites. That's more energy consumption added.

                                      @tante Avian Intelligence "is the future", I'm told, which is part of the reason why I'm on a #deGoogled Fairphone 4 and Linux, waiting to see if the bubble bursts, and whether we get to see any pretty colours in the moment before it does.

                                          @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.
