1. Hype y Promesas Exageradas de la IA.
Silicon Valley está apostando fuertemente por la Inteligencia Artificial, presentándola como la próxima gran revolución tecnológica. Sin embargo, esta narrativa se percibe a menudo como una estrategia de marketing para justificar inversiones masivas y la falta de innovación real, comparándola con burbujas tecnológicas pasadas como la del dot-com, las criptomonedas o el metaverso. La creencia en la IA es rampante, pero muchos la ven como una "burbuja" o "aceite de serpiente" diseñada para engañar a inversores y consumidores.
- Silicon valley is doubling down on ai being the next big thing because theyve already bet the house.
- The magical belief in ai is rampant in silicon valley. Ive been through many tech changes in the last 40 years, and there is always silliness, but ai is over the top.
- Ai is just the latest in a long line of snake oil silicon valley has been trying to sell us to justify more private equity investment.
- Ai is classic silicon valley hype 1. Underdelivers 2. Actually makes things worse 3. Normal people hate it 4. Doesnt make any money 5. But tech executives wont stop sinking investments into it.
- Ai is like silicon valley went all-in, planet-destroying factories all-in, on segways or the boring company.
2. Críticas y Peligros de la IA.
La implementación de la IA por parte de Silicon Valley ha generado un vitriolo y un escepticismo sin precedentes. Se critica que la IA se utiliza para la consolidación del poder y la explotación, en lugar de beneficiar a la sociedad. Existe una profunda preocupación por la superficialidad, la falta de imparcialidad, el potencial de abuso y manipulación, y la intención de reemplazar a los trabajadores. Además, se señalan los impactos éticos, como el robo de propiedad intelectual, la desinformación y los sesgos inherentes a los modelos de IA, llegando a comparar la IA con una "bomba atómica" en manos de Silicon Valley.
- Silicon valley techbro types are very vested in having people believe their ai models are impartial and objective in what they output, but its all just smoke and mirrors designed to con people into thinking theyre getting anything substantive or useful. Its all so open to abuse or manipulation.
- Knowledge is power. Silicon valley is using the ai tool to replace you instead of to benefit you.
- The role of silicon valley has shifted from consumer enrichment for all, to power consolidation for capital. This technology is being developed accordingly.
- Ai is a further way for silicon valley to erase whatever they deem unnecessary. Started out with erasure of boredom and finally moved to the erasure of human-made arts and workers in general.
- The ip theft, the job market upheaval, the flock cameras doxxing everyone to the government - this is all moving orders of magnitude faster than it could ever be safely implemented, because silicon valley cant have a third strike in a row.
- Ai is the atomic bomb of this generation. And silicon valley is los alamos.
- The ai industry must end sooner rather than later. It is culturally, socially, environmentally, and economically destructive, and all the silicon valley marketing in the world isnt going to make it otherwise.
3. La Burbuja de la IA y su Inevitable Estallido.
Existe un fuerte presentimiento de que la burbuja de la IA está a punto de estallar, con comparaciones frecuentes a la burbuja de las puntocom. Las empresas de Silicon Valley están invirtiendo cantidades ingentes de dinero en IA, a menudo sin un modelo de negocio claro o una rentabilidad demostrable, lo que lleva a una quema de capital insostenible. Muchos observadores creen que el fracaso de la IA podría desencadenar una crisis económica devastadora, especialmente porque Silicon Valley parece estar "sin ideas" para el próximo gran crecimiento.
- I know one should base perspectives more on evidence than on vibes, but it sure feels like an ai bubble bursting is due.
- The ai bubble is that big, like if it doesnt pan out over the next 2 years, youll see tech moguls jumping off buildings.
- Dont tell me for a millisecond that silicon valley isnt having a existential crisis. They are desperate to keep the money going knowing ai is fools gold and that is one and only idea for the past 15 years.
- Oh. Ai bubble is collapsing. That was techs last hope. No more ideas, no more growth.
- Silicon valley is kind of fucked once the ai bubble bursts. Not sure whatll happen, but i think theyre out of ideas for big growth that wall st loves so much.
- We might be experiencing an ai bubble, if that bubble bursts, it could put the dot-com crash to shame tech giants and their silicon valley backers wont be the only ones who suffer.
- Ai is not profitable but because its marketed as the future, every silicon valley cunt wants to shove it into their product so they can be futureproof, ignoring that its exacting a price in many ways.
4. Resistencia y Desconfianza Pública.
La desconfianza hacia Silicon Valley es generalizada y se extiende a la IA. La gente no ha pedido estas herramientas y no ve su valor, sintiéndose a menudo "dejada atrás" o incluso amenazada por la tecnología. A pesar de la narrativa dominante de Silicon Valley, el sentimiento público está en contra de la IA, con una gran mayoría preocupada por sus implicaciones. Esta resistencia se manifiesta como una defensa de la creatividad humana y los empleos, frente a una tecnología que se percibe como impuesta y perjudicial.
- The vitriol toward ai is more pronounced than any anti-tech sentiment ive seen in my lifetime. Im not sure silicon valley is really grasping the extent of the ai backlash.
- I try really really hard to be sympathetic to the backlash against ai because i understand having distrust in silicon valley as a whole. We should all distrust them.
- Nobody asked for these tools, were not paid to learn how to use them, or to understand them.
- The prevailing wisdom in tech circles is that ai is here, everyones using it, and only laggards have a problem with it. The reality is that 80 of us are worried about ai for many different reasons. Silicon valley may own the narrative, but sentiment is against them.
- Silicon valley overestimated user adoption of ai. Its a flaw in their hype machine. Users have been trained to have a healthy wariness of tech interests.
- The ai industry is spending this election cycle, because they are very unpopular. For a decade ive written that silicon valley ethos would lose public trust.
- The more young people use ai, the more they hate it its been almost three years since silicon valley started aggressively pushing large language model-based chatbots like chatgpt as the supposedly inevitable future of everything, and theres no gro.
5. Usos Reales vs. Hype y el Futuro.
A pesar del enorme hype, la IA tiene usos legítimos y beneficiosos, especialmente en campos especializados como la medicina o la optimización de procesos, que a menudo se confunden con la "IA generativa" o la "inteligencia artificial" en un sentido más amplio. Sin embargo, la IA actual es limitada, no posee conciencia ni inteligencia humana, y sus capacidades son a menudo exageradas por Silicon Valley. Existe una necesidad crítica de regulación, un enfoque más ético y una distinción clara entre las aplicaciones útiles y el "aceite de serpiente" promocionado por la industria.
- Theres a big difference between dangerous silicon valley ai slop and normal ai tech weve been developing for decades to streamline work processes and a lot of people cant or wont bother to tell the difference bc they view it as all the same.
- There actually is a genuinely good use for ai at my job, but tech companies silicon valley cannot let niche uses be enough. It has to ruin every website and app or its a failure.
- I think generative ai has a lot of really useful applications, but i also think important context is that many of todays ai evangelists were also all in for crypto and the metaverse.
- Ai an is excellent tool, but people need to be realistic to what it is and what it is not. There are a lot of problems with the silicon valley interpretation of what it should be but we shouldnt resist their flawed ideas with a throw out the baby with the bathe water mentality.
- Machine consciousness is an illusion. Thats not our assessment, thats from the ceo of inflection ai and the co-founder of deepmind.and he has many more cautions for silicon valley.
- Ai is incredibly good in analysing problems. Proteine-folding is the best example. Its still a tool. This time replacing white collar jobs.
- Ai is not supposed to make your work easier stop carrying the water for silicon valley. Generalized ais are often deceptively hard to use well.
