    You’re not going to stop hearing about AI. Perhaps AI companies won’t be so high-profile, but AI itself is being integrated into lots of things and it’s not going to go away. The only thing that’s happened here is that it’s proving to be not quite so profitable as expected being an AI-specific company.

    Edit: Perhaps not even that, the article appears to be neglecting to mention that this is part of a trend across the whole stock market rather than something AI-specific.

      Nobody thinks generative ai will die, but when the bubble bursts maybe we wont get it shoehorned into places it really doesn’t belong.

        Personally I cheer for employees such as myself. The artificial pressure to compete with LLMs just got a lot softer.

        AI is just a specific subset of algorithms, also not that new - first concept are from 1960 or so (from memory don’t quote me) with perceptron. New is parallel computing power of modern chips - that allows for far better performance.

          Absolutely is. It’s fucking outstanding how big corps are eating it up.

          Alrogithm corp = nothing new, boring low evaluation

          Change it’s name to:

          AI corp= 1 BILLION DOLLARS!
