As gleaned from my very recent internet consumption:
* LLMs and AI, and AGI, have all been massively overhyped. The impetus for the sudden spread of this view seems to be the poorly received ChatGPT5, and a couple of papers saying that LLMs are not a way to get to AGI anyway.
* A stockmarket massive correction, if not crash, is definitely on its way. The impetus for this one: an irrational looking continuing rise in markets despite the nuttiness of the Trump tariffs regime and the objective reality, demonstrated daily, that the USA is led by someone who understands nothing but is persuaded by whoever praises him most. (Man, those cabinet meetings where the first hour or two is spent in praising Dear Leader are so bizarre, it's hard to credit.)
* KPop Demon Hunters is really good. (Actually, I watched it a couple of weekends ago, even before my 22 year old daughter watched it, and it is enjoyable. It's quite funny and has a very authentic and upbeat Korean cultural vibe about it - no doubt because it was made by a bunch of American Korean people, I think.)
I do want to watch Kpop Demon Hunters, as does my daughter, but I'm guessing it's a bit too scary for five year olds. So I'm going to have to find a way of sneak-watching it when she's asleep - or otherwise occupied.
ReplyDeleteYes, AI is a bubble.
Maybe Trump's retirement plan is to find a way to keep the US economy artificially inflated for a few years before he sods off to his villain resort on the Caiman Islands (wherever they are).
