    looks like this is from january, so I guess it would have if it could have. Sites like HN are full of “but have you tried it THIS week??? Otherwise your opinion is invalid”

    I don’t know what to expect from a correction since there’s just constantly a “new, better model” every day, thousands on hugging face alone, let alone proprietary ones. It makes the effort to prove the negative (ie. These models are not useful for most tasks) very high so I don’t typically argue with people about it. I think that the constant treadmill to keep up with the “improvements” is part of the marketing, to be honest.

    I’m sure this is typical of every bubble but to be honest I’m not sure what’s going to pop it if GPT-5 didn’t, if OpenAI’s P/L statements don’t, if businesses aren’t fatigued yet with all of the “news” about new models, if the economics not making sense hasn’t stopped anyone… it’s a weird time in tech right now.
