I think the AI pause is just another grift (lemmy.world)

My pet theory about why Anthropic and Open AI are pushing for a “pause” is because they are trying to angle for a government bailout before their bubbles pop.

But why would AI companies bother with that?

I think it's a PR move to start selling security plans along with their AI, just like antivirus subscriptions back in the day

This would also be a grift.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
