I think we need to be careful to assume that the AI bubble is really going to burst, there is way too much money being put into it by big players for them to just give up on it. I mean Microsoft is even pushing for a new key on Windows keyboards.

We also have to look at this bubble differently. With Crypto there was a general technical level that was required to use it that many people just did not have. I would say the same is true for most bubbles we have seen.

AI is generally available for anyone that has enough understanding on how to open a browser to use. Too many non technical people have just accepted it without understanding the risks.

Edit: You can really see just how bad this is going to get if you look at Apple. How they are deemed to be "behind" because they don't have generative AI right now and how they are so desperate that they are looking at Google.

I really don't think this is going to burst and really all that is going to happen is even more consolidation and we will be screwed.

> What needed is indifference, not hate.

Agree that hate is not the solution. But saying "no" decidedly and loudly is absolutely something that people need to relearn and I am happy to see that some do now.

Just being indifferent is not sufficient.

Finding and taking measures to protect yourself and others is a positive way to approach this IMO.

I disagree. If something is truly damaging to society, we need to opposite it actively and crush it.

Indifference is what leads people to ignore climate change. Indifference is what leads people to allow corporations to destroy communities. Indifference is what allows global capitalism to keep going.

I am not concerned with an AI hype bubble bursting. AI already has enough power to strengthen the industrial society outside the hype. Perhaps hatred is not quite the right word. Perhaps love is a better one: a love for smaller communities and more sustainability. Wasn't it Che Guevara who said, "the true revolutionary is guided by strong feelings of love."?

Regardless, indifference is not he answer: it is passionate opposition with a zero tolerance policy towards AI, AI researchers, and AI companies.
