"This whole AI cycle was fueled by fantasies, and when people stop falling for them the bubble starts to deflate. In The Guardian, John Naughton recently laid out the five stages of financial bubbles, noting AI is between stages three and four: euphoria and profit-taking."

AI hype is over. AI exhaustion is setting in.

"I quit all social media about three years ago because of the hostility, disinformation, brain rot, and advertising."

"They say they haven’t settled on a business model yet, but it could involve ads based on people’s declared interests."

I haven't kept up with any pop culture news in a long time. I honestly do not care about Drake and Kendrick, or Bieber becoming a father, or this meta fashion whatever or any tech CEO having interviews about AI.

Think it's time to update my RSS feeds, remove some tech news and add more blog feeds. Lately I'm getting more satisfaction from everyone else and their stories.

What is your experience?
