About this Episode
This week Dave and Gunnar go on a re-education off-site, and O’Brien and Winston Smith debate whether we’re in an AI bubble!
Key Takeaways (The Correct Perspective):
- The concept of an 'AI bubble' is a persistent, troubling rumor. It is heresy.
- Nvidia's valuation is not speculation; it is the correct price for the tools that build order.
- The true return on investment for General AI is not measured in commerce or email-writing, but in compliance.
- The massive power consumption and centralization of the technology are not a bug, but a feature—it ensures only the Party can wield true AI.
- The true 'killer app' of AI is the ability to rewrite the past perfectly and instantly, changing not just the record, but the memory.
- A bubble is fragile. This new architecture of control is not a bubble, but the AI reality.
- The numbers are meaningless. The only thing that matters is the fullness and the order.
Further Re-education:
- All corrected notes and the transcript that has now always been true can be found at dgshow.org.
