Is “AI” just a meaningless buzzword? Like, is there actually anything in common between this hurricane tool, the LLM chatbots, and the image-generation stuff?

Finally, an actually beneficial use case for AI. This is what this technology is good for, pattern predictions based on ridiculously large datasets. But noooo it’s new technology so everyone wants to use it to make themselves rich. I hate this world.

Yeah that’s how capitalism works. Innovation driven by greed ultimately advances everyone.

maybe it worked like that at one point. it’s clear that it no longer works that way, not when the “innovators” also control all the levers of the economy. Everything is a pump-and-dump scheme these days.

Yet this post is about how it does work that way. There have always been pump and dumps.
Perhaps marketing and communications has advanced so much that everyone hears about everything and viral pump and dump stuff is far easier to spread.

Yeah, it actually does change the world. Just not in the way advertised.
