Stop Believing AI Hype (Elon Taught Them Everything)

from The John Johnston Lounge · host John Johnston

John Johnston (JJ) breaks down how Silicon Valley AI CEOs such as OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Anthropic’s Dario Amodei have been making some grand claims and predictions for their AI products, in a similar way to how Elon Musk has been doing this for years now. The “predictions” and claims have been mostly wildly inaccurate, or just plain wrong. There are more cracks staring to show in the AI boom or bubble too.Related episodes:Why the AI Boom is Smoke and Mirrors https://open.spotify.com/episode/36jHRogl9TI8NQq7UVVl1kElon Admits xAI ‘Not Built Right’ After Tesla Just Invested  https://open.spotify.com/episode/4KJHwhzuusXEB0xBuueUrfElon’s SpaceX $1.75T IPO: ‘Lottery Ticket With Better Branding’ https://open.spotify.com/episode/6cfQKCpmzocEleD5PDjJxaReferenced video:OpenAI spending cuts push memory market into chaos | Will Guyatt | The Tech Report https://youtu.be/sqGSh739xGkDisclaimer: I am not a financial adviser and nothing in this content is financial advice.
