Is AI just another get rich quick scheme?

2•jqpabc123•1h ago
You too can get rich quick in real estate --- details in this book; only $49.95.

If there really was a sure fire way to get rich quick, why sell books to the public? Why not keep it to yourself and apply it to make money?

The same applies to AI. If it was really all that, they wouldn't be selling tokens to the public. They would be forming corporate partnerships, building products and conquering markets --- starting with the financial markets.

Those who can --- do. Those who can't --- sell books and "tokens".

the ai companies have a problem at the moment: the compute required for inference (especially) costs a metric shit-ton of money - so they're crowd-sourcing the funds (unsuccessfully so far, tbh - for example, a $20/m claude sub that i'm on for work, and I regularly see individual conversations where the tokens cost more than that - even up to $350.

It's a tool tho, not a panacea. With the right guidance, for example, you can get some good code results.
