AI investment has helped keep markets and economic growth ticking along, but the IMF fears the boom could quickly turn to bust if the promised profits fail to materialize. With tech giants borrowing billions and investors piling into the same handful of companies, a selloff could leave more than just Silicon Valley nursing a hangover.

    You think they aren’t harvesting your data for advertising?

    And even if you are somehow anonymized, any usage to juice their numbers is what they want.

    If you want to stick it to ChatGPT, use their competition. GLM, Xiaomi, Deepseek, Mistral, Nemotron, whatever;their absolute deepest fear is the public pivoting to actually free models. And you can use them with whatever level of privacy you wish, since you aren’t locked to vendors.

      I mean, we could also just not have AI at all. I dunno what point you’re trying to make, but it’s not landing. I am extremely anti-AI, and I want it to just go away. But, guess what, it isn’t, and they will keep shoving it down our throats until the AI bubble bursts and they take the global economy with it.
