I can't imagine "the internet" getting boo'd like that in 2001 Grads would have cheered along for "internet"
Or even like bitcoin in say 2010, lots of people were skeptical but would not have just boo'd
This is remarkably unpopular.

For so many reasons, AI is not the next industrial revolution. The math does not math. The more advanced it becomes the more tokens are spent. The subscriptions people are buying right now are heavily subsidize to the tune of between five and 12 times the cost in tokens. The companies are trying to wriggle out from that real reality. Beyond this is the infrastructure reality that distinguishes data centers from previous bubbles like rail or dot com.

@cabel given the amount of harm the industrial revolution did to the planet and how it reshaped the society causing mental issues to many workers, I don't think she said anything controversial

@cabel https://escaperoad.org That’s the danger of spending too much time in like-minded spaces — eventually it starts to feel like everyone shares the same perspective. Moments like this can be a pretty harsh reality check.
