Modern MBA

From 1 year ago...

Artificial intelligence is the latest tale spun by Silicon Valley to sweep prior failed trends under the rug, keep valuations high, and sector sentiment positive. Every startup is now an “AI company”, every Fortune 500 needs an “AI strategy”, and every product is an “AI” product.

Before AI, there was crypto, web3, blockchain, virtual reality, big data, IoT, and wearables - all supposedly revolutionary technologies that have never once lived up to the hype.

In this episode, we explain the market dynamics that push companies and individuals to jump headfirst into tech trends, how this all started with big data, and why AI is ultimately just another pump-and-dump.

AI is a misnomer: LLMs is not really AI. They have some good use cases, but hype overblown. CEO is the main marketing tool, of course they’re driving hype

AI is pretty good. Ask the students who do their homework. Also it gives better answers than google.

I mean, is it over valued? Yeah. Does it seem impossible for these companies to turn a profit, Yeah. But ai is incredibly useful even in this current state. On the chance it keeps getting better, It could actually be Revolutionary. And if it stagnates, it is still just a useful tech to integrate into work flows/learning. Meanwhile, what the fuck has crypto ever done outside of launder money?
