the AI industry is trapping itself in a doom loop of its own creation, a cynical strategy that won’t benefit anybody but those at the very top who kicked the ladder down behind them.

That is a great way to sum it up.

Also the article highlights a problem I’ve been preaching. Everyone is complacent to use AI now, but the longer this goes on the less input it has to feed from.

I like the unique and raw creations that humans make. I don’t like formulaic pop music, writing, or art. There is beauty in our imperfections or raw expressions that will keep their meaning, but become increasingly rare because it’s not rewarding or pays well.

I guess this is the Easter Island moment for the Epstein civilization. We’re just gonna concentrate on building bigger and bigger stone heads, er, datacenters, until we all fucking starve.
