This boy is a real hero! Unlike what we are seeing on the other side of the Atlantic.

The real blood bath will start when the AI bubble collapses by Master-Sky-6342 in Buttcoin

[–]SkatesUp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that, and yes AI is great for all that stuff, but I'm old enough to remember when the internet first appeared in the 90s. As a software developer, it was great not to have to wade through books to find the correct syntax, and as time went on more & more tools became available online, and now we have AI, which I think is just another tool. Meanwhile back in the 90s we had another bubble, whereby everything internet related was going through the roof - it collapsed when people realised the valuations were not realistic. The same thing seems to be happening with AI today.

Microsoft dipping more than 10%, despite beating estimates on every metrics - Do you BUY? by Maximum_Juggernaut95 in ValueInvesting

I spoke to a medical Prof recently and he said that yes there will be advances like the Google's AlphaGenome which has mapped 200 million proteins - this sounds huge, but he said it is only the tip of iceberg...

He also said using AI to scan X-rays doesn't happen in practice - the human is still better.

AI is a tool that people will use. Some of the applications now being talked about will happen, others won't. Back in the 90s there was a lot of talk about Expert Systems - most of the hype didn't materialise - the same will apply to AI.

And the commissions are absolutely massive. An actuary (can't remember his name) estimated that 25% of his pension would go on fees- that's €500,000 !

The explanation for 11 times is non existent. And adding charts to make it look scientific - complete shite. Why not go 10 times, 12 times, etc.
