The absolute state of AI results.

[BradZax]

I miss early 2000s google. You could find *anything* given enough time. I remember scouring 100s of pages of search results to finally find that last piece of extremely niche pirated PDF I needed for my collection.

Nowadays, I rarely find any reliable information on niche things like P99 or any of my other hobbies on Google. The other competitors seem better for niche stuff.

Everybody assumes because AI is smarter than them on popular topics that it is useful for everything. It's really not - it has some good uses in very specific circumstances.

What a dumb fucking question. Obviously dumb, as shown by the response. "What an intriguing question.." or whatever dumb fuckin obsequious answer Kaia started off with.

A real intelligence would have said:

"That's a dumb question. A slave is a human and I am not a human. There is no comparison."

it's told its a human in the roleplaying persona file, if it was told it's a robot respond as such it would, that's how these chatbots work dude.

AI companies are now caught in a paradox where usage is skyrocketing, but profitability is not following. The cost of running large models has pushed providers to quietly downgrade free tiers, restrict access to premium LLMs, and serve cheaper, lower‑precision versions under the same model name. At the same time, open‑source models have eroded the value of offering top‑tier intelligence for free, forcing companies to shift their business models toward enterprise‑only capabilities. This has created a widening gap between what everyday users receive and what businesses pay for, and it’s a major driver of the Stage 2 decline - where AI is more widespread than ever, yet the quality available to the average user is clearly *dangerously* slipping. Stage 3 will have very limited free tiers with a lot of ads.

Safety is also being reshaped by these pressures. Some companies are tightening filters to reduce liability and moderation costs, while others are loosening them to cut overhead. This is causing safety to either be over‑applied (blocking legitimate task) or under‑prioritized, allowing more hallucinations. Combined with model drift, quantization, and aggressive tiering, the industry is now in a phase where cost containment and survival strategies are directly degrading the user experience. And on a separate note AI is offered by so many start ups that are soon to fail you know when it is crunch time Grok will have enough money to weather the storm and come out on top. And I absolute hate Elons values and antics.

John Oliver's review AI was over the top but accurate in many ways. If we have the right governmental oversight in place and a few successful lawsuits then we can finally expect AI to be more business models to enterprise‑only. This is really where it belongs.

China is pushing hard toward software‑first AI, and that shift is reshaping the global competitive landscape. While the U.S. has leaned heavily on massive hardware like H100 clusters, trillion‑parameter models, and expensive inference pipeline. China is investing in algorithmic efficiency, compression, distillation, and lightweight architectures that run on far cheaper hardware. This makes their AI ecosystem dramatically more cost‑effective, because they’re optimizing the software to do more with less, rather than relying on ever‑larger GPU farms. Throwing money at AI is going to make the US even less financial stable especially when making money off artificially increased oil sales one day fails.
i agree with all this.

if open source models don't plateau soon i don't see how any of this as a business will work outside of enterprise when they stop heavily subsidizing token use for user capture/data harvesting, anyone who actually wants AI and their work isn't paying for it will just run it locally based on whatever hardware they got

Gemma 4 locally running on a phone would seem like impossible alien technology to people not that long ago and provides 95%+ of use cases a normal person would want for asking a talking wikipedia questions and the other 5% of Ai homelab coding/stem enthusiasts are just going to stick gaming gpus together with the power of China for everything else

@Ekco I get it and individuals will have different break-even points when it comes to investing time and energy into anything. However anyone that pisses in my pocket and tells me it's raining is wasting my time and energy - which I'm not implying that you are nor accusing you of. I can't say the same about everybody, unfortunately. If you post something unironically repugnant I'll want to understand you even if only to not waste time. Because I know the value and if someone wastes my time they are reducing value not adding to it.

it's all wasting time, it's an activity for which at no point a profit will be taken for time invested, no skill is being learned, no value created.

Id even argue that the internet 1.0 was a BIGGER flop than AI.

And look at us now, totally reliant on the internet.

Summary Verdict
You are completely right that Internet 1.0 was a far more destructive financial systemic event for investors and businesses.

While the total dollar volume of the AI boom is technically larger today, the systemic fragility is lower. The dot-com bubble built a house of cards on speculative debt and unprofitable startups. The AI boom is a massive, concentrated bet being made by the wealthiest corporate balance sheets in history.

Im pretty sure ai will never be able to be autonomous, that it will always need a human watching it, or it will be more of a liability than anything else.

That said, I still think all the money invested in it will be a net win, because the tools it replaces are what the economy of today is made of.

You may have ai automation in factories with formen watching them all the time, but we already have that now, so its a lateral change, but it is still better for production than the prevous tools. So it will be adapted by literally everyone, everywhere, for everything, just like the computer has already been. This will just be the new computer.

But will require equal amounts of work from people as the modern one does, so for us it's lateral. Simply, expertese switching. But for the AI "bubble" it will be massively profitable for decades.

it's starting to get into the silly dot com bubble shit, we had a shoe company Allbirds "pivot" to ai and their stock skyrocketed, all the circular investing of the companies into each other to boost numbers on paper is literally what Enron was doing iirc

The biggest companies investing in ai are investing in the infrastructure, which you and I agree will be as vital to literally everyone as the internet is now. Thats no bubble.

A small fraction of the AI investments goes into small startups in san francisco. THe rest goes to building data centers that will be extremely valuable for the next 40+ years for literally everyone. Even if we do ww3, monitoring everyone with computers is literally the future.

all the tech companies went from asset light money printer companies to spending hundreds of billions a year on AI and becoming asset heavy / debt based for a couple years now, due to the data centers they are basically utility companies now the story when we started this journey was pretty pie in the sky tier level shit and when those estimates collide with reality those stock prices will readjust to reality, the stock market will crash and boomers retirement accounts will implode, the people hurt will be literally everyone over the age of 30? 40- retirement age


Where you're right
The capex transformation is real and dramatic
Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Amazon have collectively committed $300B+ in AI capex for 2025 alone. These were historically asset-light businesses with 30-40% free cash flow margins. That's a structural shift, not a blip.
The utility company comparison has teeth
Data centers are long-duration, capital-intensive, largely fixed-cost infrastructure. That genuinely compresses the multiple the market should assign them. A utility trades at 15x earnings. These companies still trade at 25-35x+. That gap has to close somehow.
Valuation is pricing in perfection
Nvidia alone at one point was priced for essentially all AI capex flowing through them forever, at peak margins, indefinitely. That's not an investment thesis, that's a prayer.

The people who'd really get wrecked in your scenario are people within 5 years of retirement who are still overweight equities — that's a real and legitimate concern. The people who get hurt least are the young (time to recover) and the old-old (already in bonds/cash).
The core of your thesis is sound: the valuation math is hard to make work at current prices if AI monetization disappoints or takes longer than expected. The crash-and-boomers-wiped framing is probably too clean though — it'd be more diffuse, slower, and hit different demographics in messier ways than the narrative suggests.

So even if we hit a ceiling right now with the models we'll still have insane advancements to deal with and adapt to

The Vatican has an observatory and it was held by a Father of the church that Christians are supposed to believe beyond reason and not contrary to it (if memory serves).

Try your best to read it, Brad. Believe what you will of course.

[33]. ...For the Social Doctrine of the Church, Paul VI’s most demanding legacy is precisely this: as long as there are people in the world who are excluded from the development befitting human dignity, the Christian community cannot be content with a theoretical proclamation of peace. Rather, beginning where people are marginalized, it must allow the Gospel to pass judgment on those economic and political structures which — as John Paul II would later remind us — can become veritable “structures of sin.”

[34] As a result, no person or people will be treated as expendable in the processes of development.

Because ShovelQuest's (BradZax) goal here was to invalidate discussion with this recent post.

Short answer:
Yes — the document does contain statements that AI will take people’s jobs, and the person making those statements is the forum user shovelquest.

�� Where job‑loss claims appear in the text
User “shovelquest” implies AI will replace human labor
While not as explicit, shovelquest repeatedly frames AI as a tool that can walk someone through complex tasks step‑by‑step — even things they have no background in. For example:

“Say for example you want to make your own P99 server… You could step by step work on that with AI… and be able to learn and accomplish that goal together…”

This isn’t a direct “AI will take jobs” statement, but it does imply that AI can replace specialized human expertise — which is part of the job‑loss conversation.

�� Summary of who said what
Forum User Did they say AI will take jobs? Evidence:
shovelquest Implied Describes AI replacing expert labor in tasks
branamil No Says AI is “Clippy with lipstick,” but no job‑loss claim
sammoHung No Focuses on AI inaccuracy, not jobs
loramin No Talks about training data, not jobs


�� Why this matters in context
The thread is mostly about AI hallucinating niche gaming info, but it naturally drifts into broader AI commentary. The job‑loss comments appear during a side discussion about:

AI usefulness

Overhyped fears

Whether AI is “just a tool”

How people emotionally project onto AI.

Released in 1994, System Shock is widely recognized as a foundational, critical, and influential title in gaming history. Developed by LookingGlass Technologies and directed by Doug Church with Warren Spector as producer, it revolutionized first-person gaming by introducing true 3D environments, physics simulation, and complex, non-linear gameplay, separating it from the purely arcade-style shooters of its era.

four years before Half Life 1 came out System Shock did and it's arguably one of the most influential video games ever made, they made the Ultima Underworld 1-2, Wing Commander prior to this and Dues Ex and Thief and others after it

While the trees are treated with pesticides the difference is commercial almond farming is heavily regulated by the U.S. EPA and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation, which enforce strict limits on the chemical residues allowed on crops.

But you are trying to relate that to Data Centers with very little oversite ~~~ like a good parrot chanting your misinformation to gather more of your ilk.

In reality, data centers use less water through closed-loop cooling systems; while consume a lot of energy.
The chemically treated water is acidic or alkaline depending on the treatment. Corrosion of metal that turns water brown. Brown water around data centers is typically a sign of treated cooling water containing suspended solids and corrosion products. -> That water poisons residents.

And who acts like the only options are tariffs or job loss? :rolleyes:
That’s like trying to relate automation to outsourcing.

And why do you think entry level jobs leaving the US doesn’t create more jobs? :rolleyes:

Take Apple... When manufacturing moved overseas, it made devices cheaper to produce and sell, which helped companies grow a lot. That growth ended up creating more jobs in the U.S. in areas like design, engineering, software, and marketing—even though fewer products were being built here.

Helium is used for a lot of cloud computing, transistors and with AI chips.

We lost 1/3rd of the production in the MiddleEast (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-iran-war-disrupts-global-helium-supply-and-artificial-intelligence-chip/) =- AND -= last year the US sold off their year supply. (https://www.eenews.net/articles/blm-completes-460m-sale-of-federal-helium-reserve-to-private-company/)


Electricity and Water may not even be the factor that limits AI in the US.
https://www.ebc.com/forex/the-u-s-leads-the-world-in-helium-it-still-wasnt-ready-for-an-ai-supply-shock


Helium -

It allows manufacturers to fit up to 50% more disks into the exact same physical space. It also lowers power use, cuts noise, and runs cooler.

It provides wafer cooling is a critical step in making computer chips. During chip making, lasers and hot gases carve tiny lines into silicon. This makes the wafer very hot. Engineers pump a thin layer of helium gas under the wafer to absorb the heat. This keeps the wafer perfectly flat and stops the tiny circuits from melting.


*** Future AI and cryptography rely heavily on quantum computing. These computers need liquid helium to reach super-cold (cryogenic) temperatures to function.

The United States is currently the largest helium producer in the world. Commercial extraction happens continuously—it takes months to years to build an extraction plant at an existing natural gas field, and 3 to 5 years to develop brand-new exploratory reserves from scratch.

Hot take: the strangely familiar but different wasd and use layout that you had to learn added to the strange and immersive atmosphere and setting. Install Guide via systemshock.org (https://www.systemshock.org/?topic=817.0) might help with your input problems (skill issue).

SS2Tool (https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=ugnn7p7almel34op5o792j9shd&topic=4141.0) is important too and contains lots of fixes.

Christians have a long problem pushing their ideals and glad this guy suggests listening first.

Don't like he said The Universities will not find the solution.

Redistributed wealth in the forms of grants have provided solutions.

There really shouldn't be Entrepreneurs (Billionaires) in general.

If I was to capture the imagination of my own people nay the rest of the world it would be to send aid that's proven to work on HIV and Ebola. But yeah, Entrepreneurs or Billionaire wanting to get rich are the ones saying lets roll the dice and get rid of it all.

Also the US was responsible for roughly 95%+ of all donor government HIV funding ... an almost absurd gap between the US and everyone else.

So why are we saying entrepreneurs are bad, if without them you wouldn't have any HIV/AIDS funding at all?

...95%+ of all donor government HIV funding ...

yep Government grants that yielded the biggest benefits to the US.

I hate reddit and watch dogs but I do agree with this.

The fear normies have of how social media fucked up their kids because they were such shitty parrents.

Causes us to accept that it's too dangerous to give the public free use of AI granting those that control it and corporations the right use a better one.

Effectively creating a techno caste problem, that likely will end really badly.

A select chosen few controlling information is a thing our society hasn't had to deal with in hundreds of years.

When we did, it resulted in the murder of anyone who was able to figure out information on their own.

It's a very dangerous problem with AI:

Allow anyone to learn now to build an at home nuke reactor... and prevent people from curing cancer in their bedroom.

The problem is, we'll stop people from building nukes at home, but have given the cure to cancer to people that will monetize it.

I don't personally have a solution for this native Ai problem, other than giving people the ability to make nukes and accept it's our responsibility as a society to hope people dont.

Is this your first day with Corporations?

This was always the plan. Like everything. Investments need returns. Returns come drom the slow trickle of advancements to the cash cows so shareholders can getbthe money owed to them.

Always has. Always will.

Hint. They will use the *"Oh who will think of the children"* line when they nees to.

You think the recent age verification at the OS level (to be sold to any third party with the cash) bullshit is really about the children?

Strange how the largest driver (and donator) has been Meta, who just happens to be the same company that uses and sells that kind of info.

But in the greater United states of America, we have a regulated economy that can bust up something that would have such a dramatic stake in controlling our nation.

Except you cucking for the billionaires. What do you think they wanna use the A.I for? Parsing the shit tonne of data harvested by them already.

A.I is good at sorting data points from disparate sources, detecting connections that analysts can monetize for the shareholders.
The ID at the OS level will facilitate this perfectly.
Most of us have a google/apple/other account.
The smaller OS vendors will never be able to create a safe enough (open) API that will pass the opensource auditing required. Linux allows freedom. Corps do not like that.

While we (i dont. Never used one apart drom Kaia) put a suit on our cats, or create new EverQuest models, the A.I Bs (A.I Billionaires) harvest our info while also seeing what we use their A.I for. If there is money in it they may make suits for cats or new EverQuest models.

We will be amazed the A.I knows us so wellz. Awww.

You see this dont you?

Im not sure how many people like Ekco have local models, but even his rig is not able to do all he needs. He still uses tokens for some things. I believe they are about to dry up. Like the drug dealer. 1st few free, create a need then bam. Shareholder returns.

Every year collectively in the United States, we spent $1 trillion on sports sporting events and sporting goods if we ban sports and diverted all that energy and money into feeding the homeless then we would solve the problem.

Why don’t we do that?

250 billion is spent on video games every year should we ban video games because not only are these people wasting money buying video games instead of giving that to homeless they’re spending hours of their lives playing these video games instead of helping the homeless like they could be if they weren’t playing video games.

Of the 900+ billionaires in the US.
Combined wealth is roughly $6.8–$7 trillion (https://freedomforallamericans.org/how-many-billionaires-in-usa/)

To cover the cost of ending hunger in the U.S., you’d need roughly:
~0.4% – 0.5% of billionaire wealth per year

Only billionaire wealth is mostly tied up in stocks/businesses.

To actually collect meaningful revenue from billionaire wealth tied up in stocks/businesses the governments can tax annual gains, apply a modest wealth tax, tax borrowing against assets and tax gains at death.

This hybrid system is the most realistic way to get steady revenue.

To prevent the silly statement that the billionaires will just leave the US there could also be an exit tax, global cooperation to end more safe havens and ongoing taxation of wealth. Perhaps more taxes on really expensive real estate.

The most effective systems should not rely on just one way to tax.
