Comment on AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage | Cory Doctorow
U7826391786239@lemmy.zip 1 week agomaybe he means “ai companies will fail” as not so much as a prediction, but just a given. kind of like “one day, you must die” isn’t really a “prediction,” just the way it is

“The way it is” is based on a huge statistics material. Claiming some future results without huge statistics material is called “prediction”.
The guy is just PRing on the anti-AI sentiment.

Has this not always happened with any new technology?

Hysterical hatred? Not sure. Personal computers were welcomed, cars and planes too (planes were laughed upon, but never hated as far as I know)… Nah, I don’t think that every significant new technology is hated at the start.

Companies fail all the time with any new technology, and some AI companies will fail. In this case it’s just business not hatred. But I can see you’re also not seeing the other perspective of people hating on it by calling it hysterical so it’s a waste of time to argue with you.
