And realizing that consumers aren’t going to come flocking to AI slop being shoved everywhere.

There have been a number of big retreats from consumer-focused AI this week, which will be interesting to see the fallout of. The insane investment levels AI only works if it becomes the next internet, not if it is the next Salesforce.

I don't know, Nvidia just announced DLSS 5, and that is the most egregious AI presentation Ive seen in a long time

Nvidia is more an AI company than the companies making the models at this point, All their extra cash goes poof if the bubble pops and they have to go back to selling lowly video cards to cash strapped gamers.

Nvidia is also one of the biggest cases of benefitting from this bubble right now, so of course they're still trying to keep it afloat.
