We had my dad's funeral on Thursday. There's been so much stress and tension leading up to it, and now it's done none of us really known what to do with ourselves.

It was a lovely seeing everyone, but I barely remember a second of it. Funny how the brain works.

I really don't know where I land on this. I have severe concentration and coordination issues that flair up post covid, this means that I frequently can't play Fromsoft games. Admittedly I'm lucky enough that this is not constant, but I think I'm still glad their games exist in the way they do. They are just one developer and it's a niche genre.

Just finished Momodora: Moonlit Farewell. Couple of years old now but that game had more passion put into it than anything I've played in years. Puts many AAA to shame.

They weren't providing any. But the share price on the US stock exchange for most of the big AI companies have been inflated through shoddy business practices, but they make up for an insane amount of the current trading of said stock market. When the bubble bursts and the market loses confidence the economy will contract and we hit recession or even worse depression. Much like the dot-com bubble or the financial crisis.

I don't disagree with any of you're points. I guess I was more getting at the idea of the seemingly more ever present AI bubble collapse (which I am very much in favour of) will come with some pretty serious down sides for ordinary people (which I'd like to clarify is the fault of the AI industry at large).

I guess I get a bit puzzled when people cheer on the popping of said bubble because I can't see good things happening.

“There are no product cycles, and, aside from the still-baking superintelligent foundation model, there doesn’t seem to be any product at all,” Brandom writes. “With this pitch, [Sutskever] raised $3 billion!”

I seriously need to get in on this and grift some rich investors, I'm broke as shit dude.
