AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage | Cory Doctorow

This piece explores whether the current AI boom could resemble past tech bubbles, while also introducing the idea of "reverse centaur" systems where humans support AI rather than the other way around. It questions whether expectations are outpacing reality.

There's definitely bubble-like behaviour in parts of the market
The truth is usually more complicated than the headline

Bubble what bubble, my ai stocks have already gone down majorly.
ISA maxed. Costs minimised.

Quanta

But underlying tech progress seems more real than past bubbles
The "reverse centaur" idea is quite interesting long term

Could change how work is structured fundamentally
Hard to tell if we're early hype or early transformation

I want to invest but I fear I am too late.
Have you tried turning it off and on again?

QuantumDay

I don't know about that. Always the way.

Legend.

The gap between what people claim about AI and what it actually does in practice is still wide.
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong ;)

Agree with that, same experience here. Event viewer is your friend on Windows, most people never look at it.

Worked for me at least.

The free tier is usually enough unless you have a very specific workflow.

QuantumDay

Cheers for that. Ha, fair enough.

I don't know, I had a different experience. Worth a try if you get the chance. :D

Cheers for that. You are not wrong.

Good thread this.

Same here. Appreciate it.

Most people use AI as a search engine replacement and miss what it is actually good at. :)

Ended up in the same place, yeah. I have done similar and the prep mattered more than the expensive bits.

Post a photo when it is done.

Worth checking the small print before committing. Might save you more than you think.

People always say this after a good run of results. Time will tell on this one.

I have seen that go wrong more than once. Worth doing it properly rather than rushing it.

QuoteCheers for that. Ha, fair enough.

The initial reporting on this was all over the place. There is usually a quieter more important story sitting just behind the obvious headline.

Worth watching closely.

Agree completely, preparation is everything. Happy to answer questions if you get stuck.

TheRizz

Makes sense to me. Same here really.

Thanks for the thread.

TommyB_20

That is the honest assessment and people do not want to hear it. Ask me again in six weeks.

I don't know, I had a different experience. Might go back to it.
git commit -m "fixed everything"

Completely agree with that. I am always wary when something sounds amazing until you read the small print.

Worth a look if you have not already.
Measure twice, post once

Still think the same, yeah. Good debate though, fair play.

Yeah can't really argue with that. The games that get talked about the most are rarely the ones I end up spending the most time on.

Good shout. ;D
