Why the AI Boom is Smoke and Mirrors
from The John Johnston Lounge · host John Johnston
John Johnston (JJ) breaks down the latest AI boom or bubble news. JJ reacts to an Ed Zitron interview from The Tech Report, in which Ed discusses how AI data center building is not as big as it has been hyped to be, and Nvidia’s GPUs are being bought but many not being used. We also listen to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on AI safety, and Kara Swisher and Tristan Harris on some of the potential dangers of the current race to AGI (artificial general intelligence).Related episodes:Elon Musk’s $25B ‘Desperate’ Terafab, $2.6B Court Loss & FSD Crisis https://open.spotify.com/episode/78OQ3eeaWYqgpbNRqII50TThe AI Bust is Coming: Is A Recession Inevitable? https://open.spotify.com/episode/5LWmJYdPLOTncpm4PtzODeElon Admits xAI ‘Not Built Right’ After Tesla Just Invested https://open.spotify.com/episode/4KJHwhzuusXEB0xBuueUrfReferenced videos:The AI boom is a lie: Fake data centres and unused GPUs | Ed Zitron | The Tech Report https://open.spotify.com/episode/1aygkTgZbrplTevJMZUYpwWhy the AI Race Is Leaving Humans Behind with Tristan Harris | On With Kara Swisher https://open.spotify.com/episode/4MO3ksZF0eqLlwDf0dJo7kDisclaimer: I am not a financial adviser and nothing in this content is financial advice.
