Merged Artificial Intelligence

That's a relief. It would be terrible if corporate US won the AI wars. Dangerous knowledge is best in hands of Chinese working people.

Yeah, but think how funny it would be if having driven Zhu out of USA, he was the one who cracks AGI.

Anyway, given the current state of USA, I'm not sure China is a worse option.
 
Economists are pointing that the $500bn to 1 trillion dollars US tech companies are spending this year on AI infrastructure is singlehandedly responsible for a huge chunk of the total economic growth.
It's not sustainable and there is no business model to reclaim the costs.
The most immediate effect is rising prices for electricity for normal consumers

The biggest indicator of a bubble.
 
also problematic is how much of the stock market, as a percentage, the companies involved in ai account for. we're putting an awful lot of money, and a huge part of people's retirement accounts, into some tech that isn't as advertised. a lot of these tech companies are like that, there's not a lot of real, tangible value being created by creating trillion dollar platforms that just distract people doing something more productive than being distracted at the end of the day.
 
All AI stuff will be great for games. So far it's just upscaling and framegen .. but LLMs are coming, as well deeper use of AI in graphics.
In modding voice cloning is used to great extent, wither for new quests with old characters, or voice swaps .. all audio of main character can be changed to voice of your favorite actor, or original voice is used for new language. Officially it's been used for died actors as well (for example Victor in Cyberpunk DLC).
 
The issue in games is what you can do locally and what you have to farm off to a cloud service of some kind. Mentioned it before I know a company that is selling AI tools to game developers that uses a heavily quantised open source LLM that can run locally for conversation generation and text to voice. But running it locally does require a fairly hefty GPU with a proper level of onboard RAM - these latest generation GPUs coming with only 8GB of RAM are a travesty.

It will really only happen when consoles can do it.

People are making mods for games like Fallout 4 that contain entire questlines with all NPCs voiced by AI. On the one hand, this means that quality quest mods are more available than ever, but on the other hand it means that human voice actors aren't getting the work.
 
Guess no one doubts that AI can lead to profound technological improvements and replace many jobs.
But the same was true of the typewriter.

To justify the singleminded focus of talent and resources currently employed, AI as it is currently being developed would have to not just be another leap like Computers, not just The Internet, but the invention of the written word itself.
