    Pretty much everything AI is a scam, I mean it had its uses but isn’t exactly as claimed yet. Pretty much every non phone AI gadget I’ve seen so far definetly is a scam.

      I use chat gpt occasionally. It’s not a scam, it’s useful for what I need it to do. I’m just not fooled by the notion that these LLM know factual data or can do much more than generate text. If you accept that, LLMs are pretty darn useful.

      It’s very much fake it till you make it.

      Just go all out, and gamble that in 5 years the technology will be here to actually make it all function like your dreamt it would. And by then you are the defacto name within that space and can take advantage of that.

      This is because dedicated consumer AI hardware is a dumb idea. If it’s powerful enough to run a model locally, you should be able to use it for other things (like, say, as a phone or PC) and if it’s sending all its API requests to the cloud, then it has no business being anything but a smartphone app or website.

      Investments in AI are in the billions. With that kind of money flying around, it’s going to attract a lot of snake oil salesmen. It didn’t help that for the general public and investors, any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, and LLMs reached that point for many.

      Just keep the hype cycle in mind. It’ll all go downhill after the point of inflated expectations. With AI, it always does.

      Not sure I agree with high AF, but definitely sounds like he’s lying or making up bullshit all the time

      They clearly don’t want you to know that, granted that they’ve conveniently renamed their company, and announced they don’t want anything to do with crypto, right before the Rabbit announcement went live
