Gestern bei #Deutschlandfunk:
KI-Experte sagt, man solle der #KI doch einfach mal trauen. Dann wird man sie auch in Deutschland mehr nutzen.

Warum sollte ich einem System, das NACHWEISLICH auch viel Bullshit produziert, Glauben schenken?

#Datenschutz war auch kein Thema. Aber man soll #ChatGPT Zusammenfassungen schreiben lassen.

Ich wünsche, #DLF würde die Meinungen der Industrievertreter häufiger mal kritisch einordnen. Ist mir damals beim #Blockchain-Hype schon negativ aufgefallen.

I think I see an AI #bubble forming in my inbox

I'm getting daily daily pitches from AI startups I’ve never heard of, from PR peeps and agencies I’ve never worked with before.

I’ve even spotted a PR company that used to specialize in blockchain rebrand itself to de-emphasize all things crypto.

I’ve seen this before with the #metaverse, #blockchain, #virtualreality and several other waves of tech hype.

It seems to me that when a market heats up, many funded companies spend some of their money on hashtag#PR. Almost none of those companies survive. PR companies score some dumb money and grow, then shrink again.


Their PR isn't pretty because the startups don’t have a lot to say and their pitches tend to follow a formula of mentioning the VC that funded them, the fact their founder worked at Big Tech companies, and their intent to revolutionize/democratize something.

If I'm right, I'm in for about 2 years of this junk

@williampietri its because you havent yet realised your existential #blockchAIn needs 🤣

The law generalizes: "do I need any tech bubble that is only engineered to satisfy deranged profit expectations of lazy ignorami "investors" that couldn't care less about any human condition besides growing their hoard of claims against humanity"?

Now, you can break human laws and get away with it, but eventually reality catches up and our continued tolerance of distractions will come with a heavy toll.
