  • Its not a bubble but most people here dont think for themselves. They dont even seem to understand the connection between what news is put out, which analysts they choose to give attention, and for what purpose.

    Imagine living your life and just believing whatever someone says in the news just because he has the title of analyst. And never thinking about who profits from that specific guy being on the news at that specific time. Who picked that guy to say what he does and why? Its not random.

    Being able to influence the market is key to making a lot of money. How do people think they influence the market? This is how they do it. How else?

    Sometimes they probably lose money too, specially when orange man opens his mouth and says something very stupid, like last Friday. But then they position themselves for the coming uptrend and make their money back, maybe even more then they had before, since they have giant pockets.



  • People here are very groupthink.

    When Tesla was at like 250 in the stock market just six months ago, I said that the stock will recover very soon. But the groupthink here was totally agreeing with eachother that Tesla is gone forever, and people kept posting Elon doing nazi gestures and saying they are done.

    Now, the stock is over 400. But no posts is made about that and how maybe the groupthink was completely wrong. Instead the next thing is ongoing.

    We have evidence around us all the time how the group is completely wrong in their assumptions. Majority opinion is not right by default.



  • I work in IT also and everyone I know use it constantly at work, daily. It has flaws and sometimes hallucinates, yeah. But humanity has never had something like this where they can ask questions and get replies that are often completely correct, just not always.

    I dont think its a bubble, but thats the point of having a discussion about it. I think downvoting people because they like Ai is borderline retarded.

    If you have read threads about this on hacker news, you will see both sides of this. People who like Ai and people who doesnt. But you have arguments instead of downvoting because people are actually smart enough to value the discussion.




  • These things will evolve and change and improve, as always. When the first car was invented, there wasnt any proper roads for cars. Things change.

    Copyright issues are not going to be an issue at all when entire countries are trying to get first to AGI. Nobody cares about that.

    Hallucinations are flaws that will eventually be fixed, and the more gpu power that is available, the easier it will be to fix.








  • I dont think we are in a bubble and I think all the media posts about it are just trying to make people sell their shares.

    Sure there is no obvious profit yet but there will be. Once people start using AI in their phones and ask it questions, everything from baking to coding becomes way easier since its an interactive conversation, not a search result.

    People will pay for that convenience since its a huge downside to not have access to it. Search results now seem very limited to me since I cant find out more about what its saying.





  • Ive been using it for a month now, latest git version that is updated several times per day. For me, its just so nice to have a fully rust built desktop environment. Its fast, smooth animations, built in tiling window management etc. It doesnt use the gtk desktop library so everything from the ground up is rust. After having only gtk and qt for so long, its really nice to see a fresh window manager with all the advantages that comes with rust.

    I havent noticed bugs, just one missing feature: the drag and drop doesnt seem to work in the cosmic file manager if one side is a nfs networked file system. But its minor stuff like that remaining. Its pretty much like gnome otherwise. I dont miss anything. All the extensions I used from gnome are already default here, like tray icons.

    I think this environment has the best font rendering also. Its incredibly crisp on my 4k screen.
