>this is a cratering of the userbase inside and outside of the US.

Is it really? It was limited release anyway (like hypebeast merch!). Everything people are gonna talk about for a week is gonna be about how Fable was so cool that it got banned by the feds. If it's just the Trump admin being the Trump admin, Amodei is just gonna have to pay up as a racket / marketing expense. Or it is like I'm suspecting and this was pre-bribed and the ban is kabuki theater.

>And, if you were hoping for a Star Trek-like future, you just adjusted your timeline for the worse.

The funny thing is that solar and batteries advancements are actually this, not LLMs, but your framing kinda fits anyways.

No no no, dont say it here. Green tech is now owned by China that wants to destroy everything.

And US bigtech working hard to save everything by building safe controlled super AI that will burn all the energy it has access to.

The main error of the AI bubble is expressed in the The Jetsons cartoon from the early 60s.

In the future, everyone obviously would be running nuclear powered cars. It was just an engineering problem to be solved. Ford made the Ford Nucleon prototype in 1958.

The nuclear optimism completely blinded people to the ridiculous idea of an individual handling nuclear material for personal use.

The AI bubble error is this idea that everyone is going to have "AGI" in their pocket. It is just a completely absurd idea that is not going to happen.

Fable was interesting from what I tried but nothing close to AGI yet here we are. The models don't get smarter and LESS restricted from here.

To me, right away it seemed that the "Mythos moment" was extraordinarily bearish for the assumptions the AI bubble is built on.

The Star Trek future is back on track.

Star Trek is cyber socialism, with the means of production owned by the Federation.

China is the only player working towards this.
