you know they are desperate; trying to get right wing governments to buy in thier “surveillance AI” , plus trying to get them quickly approve the datacenters before people catch on that its polluting and just stealing resources from the locals. and the AMount of AI “STARTUP tech” events have also dramatically increased, 100% of tech conferences are just peddling some form of AI or another.
AI is as useful and necessary as 3D video, cryptocurrency, NFTs, The Cloud, and all the other fads. Note that all the fads have stuck around in one manner or another. LLMs will too.
For the 3D video one, VR headsets perfected it. It’s actually awesome now. And looks the best on the newest devices like the Vision Pro.
But, VR devices are slow to catch on.
Anyway. I say this to just note that 3D movies and video has continued to improve despite the format supposedly being dead in the eyes of your average consumer. Apple currently has the largest 3D movie selection ever assembled from one vendor. And it’s the only place to watch 3D in 4K. Blu-ray does not have a standard/specification that supports it.
3D movies have been around for many many decades. And only recently have they become “perfected” from a visual fidelity POV. The hardware form factor needs more refinement though. I’m just reinforcing your point about how at least one of the technologies has not and will not go away.

Agreed I see some strong use for AI… just not everywhere, everything like it’s being shoved down our throats.
3D video did serve as a legitimate stepping stone for things like Virtual Reality headsets and heads up displays for vehicles, so I don’t think it was a total waste.
The rest of the buzzwords are relatively obscure in the grand scheme of progress though (unless by The Cloud you mean VPS services/storage solutions, which are almost ubiquitous)
Image projection where the brain combines two separate images into one cohesive picture by filling in the gaps is absolutely 3D video’s territory, and expansion on that concept was at the very least utilized in the development of VR headsets.
Now, they aren’t one to one, of course, but lessons learned from 3D video were certainly used in modern VR development (and perhaps adjacent to 3D video’s at the time).
They really are jumping the gun here. They need to prove that AI is as necessary and as useful as a utility. So far, they haven’t
The fact that they’re pushing for AI to be a utility when the fucking internet isn’t is just absurd.
Any of the companies framing it as a utility hope you don’t think too deeply about it.

Exactly!

AI being used as a tool for conglomeration? Absolutely.
AI used as a “tool” to make “art”? Fuck outta here.
or become a “Writer”
The cloud is kind of an odd one out here, cloud providers are bringing in like half a trillion dollars a year from willing customers

3D video isn’t a stepping stone for VR. It’s just one application that VR excels at.
It’s like saying photographs are a stepping stone for screens.
Image projection where the brain combines two separate images into one cohesive picture by filling in the gaps is absolutely 3D video’s territory, and expansion on that concept was at the very least utilized in the development of VR headsets.

most of the AI video making seemed to have vanished, because it got too expensive to make a 5 second video.
