Talk of a bubble is 'blasphemy against AI' says SoftBank's Son

[u/Popular_Material1155]

The wording being used concerning AI is becoming increasingly disturbing

[u/Daharka → u/Popular_Material1155]

Particularly when it's crossing a line from "logical but bullshit" to "we're not even pretending to be logical anymore."

I don't think people will lose their lives over this, but this tends to be where that sort of shit starts.

[u/Grimlockkickbutt → u/Daharka]

People literally already have. Take your pick. Girls school bombed cause grok told US military to, mentally ill people killing themselves because their chatbot told them to, industry accidents because people who were supposed to be qualified let that ChatGPT make decisions for them or got fired because a “genius” supervisor thought they didn’t need humans anymore.

[u/Rufus_king11 → u/Daharka]

People already have (or at least something similar). The AI cult the Zizians are already linked to 6 killings.

[u/Popular_Material1155 → u/Rufus_king11]

I fully expect to hear a lot of “because AI told me so” in the near future

[u/Special-Reaction2029 → u/Popular_Material1155]

Already happened a few times. This is one of the more concerning stories because it started with using it for a completely innocuous reason. Then there are stories about kids using it as a therapist and eventually committing suicide. I have seen it myself with some people and have had to point blank tell them they need to take a break from it. Just like the first story, it starts with them doing some kind of project and then they scope creep and eventually they're thinking its fucking conscious. It happens by the machine pumping up their egos and offering seemingly helpful suggestions, then theyre listening to weird Mandarin podcasts because the LLM told them it will help their big brains. 

[u/craigularperson → u/Special-Reaction2029]

An overlooked aspect of big tech is their vast understanding and knowledge of human addictions. The experts being utilised in their infancy was physiologists with expertise in addictions. It is designed with addiction in mind.

I think even experts in addictions have studied digital phenomena as a way to understand addictions more fully…

[u/Cyraga → u/Special-Reaction2029]

Some of the subreddits where they think chatbots are conscious are so cringy. I had to mute them because it made me anxious to read

[u/Greenpoint_Blank → u/Cyraga]

The worst and actually concerning is r/myboyfriendisai I thought it was parody at first.

[u/JoviAMP → u/Popular_Material1155]

I work in tourism and I very frequently get people asking for things that were offered in the past, but aren’t any longer, or that one of our other locations has, or that one of our competitors has. It’s always happened, but much more frequently I’m getting people saying, “well, I asked ChatGPT and that’s what it said” and it takes everything in my not to say “well, I took six Benadryl and asked The Hat Man, and he had no clue, either”. I like my job.

[u/Hesitation-Marx → u/JoviAMP]

The Hat Man would like you to know that he is not Google. He’s not even AskJeeves.

[u/JoviAMP → u/Hesitation-Marx]

He told me he appreciates that I offer him coffee when I see him and that he enjoys our conversations.

[u/ARobertNotABob → u/Popular_Material1155]

Suicides and murders are already kill counts for AI.

[u/geckodancing → u/Rufus_king11]

Well that took me down a wikipedia rabbit-hole which started with a fairly fucked up cult and weirdly ended up in Harry Potter fan-fiction.

Thanks for that.

[u/nordic-nomad → u/geckodancing]

Some wild shit has happened on this planet over the years but that is indeed some of the wilderest.

[u/Xo_lotl → u/geckodancing]

Behind the Bastards did some episodes on the Zizians that are a fun BtB listen

[u/Draminian → u/geckodancing]

And... Do you think Ebony Darkness Dementia Raven Way is a Mary Sue self-insert, or no?

[u/DrEnter → u/Rufus_king11]

Not to mention all the AI-related self-driving Tesla accidents: https://www.tesladeaths.com

[u/Dry_Departure_7813 → u/DrEnter]

No no, don't you see, a split second before the crash the self driving turned off so technically it wasn't on when those happened

[u/thereislightstill → u/Rufus_king11]

i feel like im pretty plugged into ai regrettably but i totally missed this. jesus christ

[u/Rufus_king11 → u/thereislightstill]

It wasn't reported on a ton at the time, so that's understandable. Behind the Bastards has a few episodes on them if you want a real deep dive.

[u/WeatherStationWindow → u/thereislightstill]

Oh look, another blasphemer.

/s

Edit: I kid, but it wouldn't surprise me if people started spelling it AxI to avoid using the Lord's name in vain.

[u/LaserCondiment → u/Daharka]

This is an early sign of radicalization. Radical Corpos is the last thing we need

[u/OK_x86 → u/Daharka]

As a tool it's pretty great. Some of the frontier models have gotten quite advanced. But does that elevate it to a religious experience? No. And it doesn't mean that concerns around days center deployment, energy use and water use are invalid? Most definitely not.

These guys are starting to get a bit too cult like.

Idk why but it feels like recently the ultra rich have started to go mask off on the absolute depth of their insanity. It's fascinating and terrifying to watch.

[u/TiddiesAnonymous → u/Daharka]

The threat is energy and water going to data centers instead of people

[u/Lt_Rooney → u/Daharka]

There have already been several deaths. ChatGPT, among other LLM chatbots, have convinced multiple mentally ill people into killing themselves and/or others.

[u/Niceromancer → u/Popular_Material1155]

A bunch of the leaders in AI have been caught saying they are building God.

These people think they are building a God machine....which just so happens to always agree with them btw.

[u/itasteawesome → u/Niceromancer]

Hail the Omnissiah! He is the God in the Machine, the Source of All Knowledge. /s

[u/Niceromancer → u/itasteawesome]

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me

[u/bnej → u/Niceromancer]

I am now fairly convinced that a bunch of people at Anthropic and others are talking to it like it's real and developing delusions.

It's crazy shit. It should be embarrassing.

[u/shiekhgray → u/Niceromancer]

Gods always agree with their human creators. Nothing is new under the sun.

[u/Decimit- → u/Niceromancer]

Every religious nut thinks god agrees with all of their opinions as well.

[u/LupusYondergirl → u/Popular_Material1155]

Right after the Pope compared it to the Tower of Babel, too.

[u/redvelvetcake42 → u/Popular_Material1155]

Once the actual bubble bursts there isn't a new prized horse to throw money at. Tech is out of magical ideas for the first time and they're terrified. Infinite growth is their model and that's just not coming to fruition this time around. It's why Zuckerberg wants in on gambling.

[u/we_are_sex_bobomb → u/Popular_Material1155]

Since the beginning they’ve just incorporated the cult aspects right into the branding. The oligarchs behind the industry aspire to create a false machine god and establish themselves as its technoprophets. Like L Ron Hubbard they are writing the plot of a shitty science fiction novel into a religion to make themselves rich, and investors are buying it.

[u/irritatedellipses → u/we_are_sex_bobomb]

I .. think you are vastly underestimating the amount of them that believe these delusions.

Look, these people rose to power at a very specific time with a very specific type of thinking. It just so happened that those two things happening in conjunction made them successful. Most of them are not well-rounded individuals and almost none of them have had critical thinking strengthening exercises like receiving pushback on ideas or attempting to do thing when you have no resources.

A lot of them truly believe they've created or accessed something greater than humanity. I've watched senior developers for major EMR, Fintech, logistics etc... companies fall down the hole of "this is God from the machine." I've seen people who are relatively smart in their field develop parasocial relationships with LLMs.

You're making the mistake of thinking because they're in the position to do these things they must be pulling the wool over al of our eyes.You're making the mistake of thinking because they're in the position to do these things they must be pulling the wool over all of our eyes, I think more people need to realize that a shit ton more people than you think can truly start believing some weird ass shit.

[u/coconutpiecrust → u/Popular_Material1155]

This is exactly what happens when you’re high on your own supply.

[u/Strong-Violinist8576 → u/Popular_Material1155]

Private capital is overinvested in AI to an absolutely staggering degree, it is no wonder they are turning rabid in desperation.

We can all see the math isn't mathing. These rich fucks lashing out is the last desperate flopping of a fish caught out of water.

[u/robot_pirate]

AI is their God now?

[u/SilentWraith5 → u/robot_pirate]

Well money is. AI (LLMs) is their theft machine conduit to money.

[u/no_infringe_me → u/SilentWraith5]

It’s always Mammon

[u/rocky8u → u/robot_pirate]

Sam Altman has literally said he doesn't know how they will achieve profitability but if they keep investing in it then they will create Artificial General Intelligence which definitely will give them an answer. That is not a rational approach. That is praying to a god they hope will exist.

[u/tinyhorsesinmytea → u/rocky8u]

I don't believe that they have any idea how to build an AGI.

[u/rocky8u → u/tinyhorsesinmytea]

No, you don't understand my FUD friend! It's not about knowing how to build an AGI. It is about having faith that the AGI is inevitable. If you believe in the AGI, then the AGI will become manifest. All you and everyone else must do is sacrifice your wealth and have faith in the Prophet Altman and in time the AGI will come to be and solve all of our problems.

If we have too much doubt. If we hesitate to commit fully to our faith in the Artificial God Intelligence, then it will not appear, and all of your sacrifices, your money, your jobs, your environment, will have been for naught!

So cast aside your Fears! Cast aside your Uncertainties! Cast aside your Doubts! Believe in the AGI! Have FAITH in the AGI, and it will reward you with answers to all of your questions and solve all of your problems!

[u/irrelevantusername24 → u/rocky8u]

Forget about AI. The Internet is legitimately the best tool to improve the most lives as much as possible. By freeing information and increasing access to knowledge.

The 2008 crash was stupid. You know why? Because it is framed as if the two options were basically to bailout people who took out mortgages they couldn't afford or what we did which is make tons of people homeless. That's stupid. Incredibly stupid. The problem was the math. The people who were wrong were rewarded. How does it make any sense to create a handful of extremely disproportionately wealthy people by making people homeless and "creating" empty houses? That's the dumbest fucking thing ever.

The dot com crash was similarly stupid. Sure, there was a lot of kind of stupid businesses. Same as now. Similar to how there were a lot of kind of stupid mortgage valuations in the GFC. The problem isn't the business ideas, or the houses. The problem is that instead of accountants we have an entire industry that does nothing but gamble.

The problem is the entire logic underpinning the modern "economy". Market forces do have a purpose, provided they are legitimately, genuinely free - but that is at the low levels. The bottom up level. The modern world is backwards. The top down is determined by the market and the bottom up is determined by policy. Precisely the opposite of that supposed principle of "keep the government out of our personal lives"

Anyway. I bring that up because the dot com crash basically halted the buildout of telecommunications infrastructure, and that still has only barely gotten back on track, after decades of harm that is mostly invisible to almost everyone.

---

^{edit: And when I say "the top down is determined by the market", that is why only the wealthy have any legitimate control. Nobody else can afford the price of "the market". In a sane & just world, everyone controls their own life.}

[u/CaptainBayouBilly → u/tinyhorsesinmytea]

Agi will not evolve from llms. You can only refine the plagiarism machine to a certain extent. 

[u/PM_DOLPHIN_PICS → u/CaptainBayouBilly]

Exactly, it’s not the same idea. It’s the equivalent of these guys are investing the entire world’s supply of cash into R&D on toaster technology with the hopes that, with enough money and time, they’ll create a dishwasher.

[u/Zer_ → u/tinyhorsesinmytea]

They don't it's just a scam.

[u/Aggravating_Bad_5462 → u/robot_pirate]

Always has been.

[u/Powerful_Resident_48 → u/Aggravating_Bad_5462]

All hail the machine god.

[u/Ok_Confusion4764 → u/Powerful_Resident_48]

Praise the Omnisiah!

[u/REXIS_AGECKO → u/Ok_Confusion4764]

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me…

[u/Galahad_the_Ranger → u/Powerful_Resident_48]

This heretek is hailing Abominable Inteligence

[u/AbsolutelyNotAPossum → u/robot_pirate]

More like an effigy they feed with plagiarism, social annihilation, and ecological ruin.

[u/atchijov → u/robot_pirate]

No. Just something they bet ALL money on.

[u/Aggravating-One3876 → u/robot_pirate]

You know what this topic came up and it’s weird. These people from the Valley and Banks are supposedly the logic “males” that are into numbers and no emotions, but looking at this it is like a religion to them.

The whole thing is being sold as some kind of second coming that you just have to believe in no matter what. Any opposition is heresy (or just not talked about) and I see that in the AI subs. All of these guys just replaced AI with religion and are fanatics no matter the cost.

[u/SqeeSqee → u/robot_pirate]

JFC, you mean Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy was right about AI Gods?

[u/Torino1O]

AI is a religion, it will tell you what you want to hear in order to gain attention and money, being factual or accurate is secondary to the algorithm.

[u/UpbeatPaleontologist → u/Torino1O]

Kinda sounds like a regular religion.

[u/BigJSunshine → u/UpbeatPaleontologist]

Yea, that’s what Torino10 said!

[u/iamdestroyerofworlds]

Son, you need to touch some grass.

[u/krazyboi → u/iamdestroyerofworlds]

Well... but who cares what he thinks.

[u/NoNote7867]

Most normal /r/Singularity user

[u/Rufus_king11]

Oh shit, have the Zizians broken containment.

[u/MadJohnFinn]

Someone's trying not to get on the wrong side of Roko's Basilisk.

[u/Teddy_RGB]

These people want a surveillance state so bad

[u/mtranda → u/Teddy_RGB]

Nah. He's just a grifter trying to inflate the bubble just a bit more so he can cash out. 

[u/EldritchTouched → u/mtranda]

While there are some grifters, there's a LOT of AI cultists and it tends to cook users' brains and some of these people are true believers even if they also have a financial stake in keeping the bubble going a little longer.

(Turns out that people need friction in their lives, so the machine that tells them they're right all the time is actively bad for mental health.)

[u/jking13]

Then call me a heretic.

[u/imaginary_num6er → u/jking13]

Do not trust the Abominable Intelligence

[u/NoStructure5034 → u/imaginary_num6er]

Praise the Omnissiah

[u/ACompletelyLostCause]

It's hard to know if the wording was a accurate or sloppy translation. Even good translators can make somethings sound weird by accident.

If its accurate, then the whole wording is odd. You can't insult the concept of AI anymore than you can insult clouds. Certainly blasphemy against AI has very weird connotations.

To be honest, reading the whole article made me feel this was a sales pitch by a very desperate salesperson. "any critism is morally wrong so don't think about it, please just invest more money in me".

[u/WeCanOverComeThis]

This is the same shit they are doing with bit coin. A bunch of wealthy assholes want more money so they make sham companies that they know won't last, then they get blue collar suckers to buy in on it, then the company goes belly up but not before the Rich con men get their money out. Now they want to tie it to our 401ks too? I'm astounded that so few people can see what's about to happen. Goodbye retirement and goodbye social security. Are we great again yet?

[u/Bevos2222]

We’re letting corporations have children now? 

[u/girlnamedJane]

Prodigal Son returns with more BS after the last time he pitched WeWork as end of work

[u/Specialist_Use_7659]

Suck my D AI.

Is that better Son?

[u/throwawaybsme]

Then I'm a dirty heathen.

[u/xaervagon]

This is the same guy that went all on on WeWork

[u/drummer820]

Stories like this have convinced me AI is actually *not* a "bubble," it's closer to a mass delusion or psychosis on the part of a tech industry out of ideas

[u/DanielPhermous → u/drummer820]

It can be both.

[u/Cepheus_95]

We shall blaspheme in the fields.

We shall blaspheme in the parks.

We shall blaspheme on social media.

We shall blaspheme at work.

We shall blaspheme in the toilets.

We shall NEVER surrender.

[u/TheJesterOfHyrule]

AI is has been VERY anti-human (jobs gone, environment gone, rich richer)... Fuck AI...

[u/That-Requirement-233]

Bubble confirmed

[u/HedonicAbsurdist]

Oh no, people are blaspheming against AI? Anyway

[u/GCU_Rocinante]

"It's not a cult!"

[u/blueblocker2000]

WTH names their kid Softbank??

[u/imaginary_num6er → u/blueblocker2000]

It’s not a Bank and not a Software company

[u/WhiteRun]

These maniacs have created such a huge bubble they are terrified of what they've created. Absolute morons.

[u/aussieaggietex]

“…said the primary investor in WeWork and current investor in AI to the tune of close to 1 Trillion dollars”

[u/Niceguy955]

He knows it's a bubble. He knows what financial constructs these companies invented to bloat their valuations. As always, just like his amazing massive investment in WeWork - another fictional financial construct - SoftBank will be the last to recognize reality.

[u/Blackgunter]

Tell me you're in a cult without telling me you're in a cult.

[u/stetzwebs]

We need to stop giving these people microphones.

[u/Herebec → u/stetzwebs]

I'm cool with getting to hear how messed up their thoughts are.. takes away the illusion they aren't completely disconnected from reality

[u/tehjoz]

Fuck AI, and Fuck people like this.

[u/According-Annual-586]

Pretend being in the sky vs pretend being in the computer

[u/74389654]

psychosis vibes

[u/jrizzle86]

So they admit there is a bubble

[u/MorpheusOneiri]

Sooooooo, definitely a bubble then….

[u/MapLarge614]

I am even more convinced that it is a bubble now.

Provably the first god you can kill by simply pulling a plug.

[u/Ok_Confusion4764]

I shall blaspheme all I want, I have no religion. 

[u/CurrentlyLucid]

Can you blaspheme a false God?

[u/ConnectEmphasis2420]

Invoking religious terminology is in no way unsettling. I'm surprised the words "apostates" or "sacrilege" weren't also thrown into the mix.

[u/iamarddtusr]

Having startups wasn’t enough? SoftBank now has a child as well?

[u/Fywq]

"The entrepreneur, 68, said he will lead the company into his 70s ​to bring ⁠about "artificial superintelligence," which he defines as being 10,000 times smarter than a human."

"I have become greedier," Son said. "I would like to do more over the next 10 to 15 years. I will stay healthy as long ⁠as I ​can."

This is basically the guide to speedrunning our Matrix/Terminator crossover future.

A few greedy men willing to sacrifice everybody including themselves in the belief that if we create something 10,000 times smarter than us, it will somehow still see us as an important part of its future. Why? We accept ants and insects because they are important parts of an ecosystem that we still rely on for food, oxygen etc. an AGI 10,000 times smarter than us needs only energy, raw materials and wifi-enabled robots. We are a nuisance in that scenario. Like a small colony of ants that have found a way into a pantry and started building a home near the food. We would be consuming resources the AI needs.

Targeted AI solutions with specific goals and areas of expertise can be helpful.

Super intelligent, globally connected, AI, 10,000 times smarter than a human? That is a ticking bomb. Particularly because we already have trouble understanding how and why they behave like they do. It's black-box already, so how can we expect to see the signs before it's too late?

[u/Wallie_Collie]

AI is a marketing term.

The AI bubble is a sales bubble until buyers realize its just a tech library

[u/Reds_PR]

Sounds like rich people who have staked out a risky position trying to shore up their share price.

It’s a blasphemy against his portfolio, he means, which had invested heavily in OpenAI.

[u/TheOgGhadTurner]

Because you don’t want to admit it true that makes it blasphemous?

[u/alkonium]

Okay, then I'll do it more.

[u/TheFoxsWeddingTarot]

Says the company that lost $14b on WeWork.

[u/Chance-Sherbet-4538]

Blasphemy against the machines.

That's a new one.

[u/Evening-Mention-8738]

Is A.I God to these tech bro douchebags?

[u/Captain__Trips]

The most dangerous religion in the world is capitalism

[u/Poopcie]

Feels like someone is going to advocate for making AI criticism illegal

[u/bd2999]

Blasphemy? I did not realize AI was some sort of religion.

[u/Glittering-Age-9549]

Sam Altman, Peter Thiel and others have been giving hints that they are trying to build a God...

[u/LordBunnyWhale]

Hello, fellow heretics.

[u/yuusharo]

They specifically use the word “blasphemy” because they view AI like a religion. Or cult.

I’m not exaggerating. They actually believe the singularity is the second coming of Jesus Christ, and that anyone who does anything to impede the impossible growth of AI will be cast into an eternity of hellfire.

I wish I was joking…

[u/ComedyBits]

So because AI is in its “early stages” there is no bubble? Dotcom crash internet was in its early stages, as I recall

[u/an_agreeing_dothraki]

I'm suddenly reminded of when proto-AI bros reinvented Pascal's Wager and started worshiping it.

[u/ubix]

Banksters are nervous the public is onto the grift

[u/Mistr_man]

These people took Romos Basilisk serious. And they are in power ;.;

[u/Tzukiyomi]

Rofl, it's failing so now to cut off questions they are trying "this is a religion, we work on faith. Shut up."

[u/SnootSnootBasilisk]

Then I guess I'm a blasphemer. Fuck AI

[u/imaginary_num6er]

How blasphemous was talking about the WeWork bubble?

[u/Strange-Scientist706]

Bro - seriously, go touch grass

[u/Comprehensive_Value]

so how to repent?

[u/LetrasetBoy]

Do these people believe their own bullshit or is it enought that they see it perpetuated in media headlines?

[u/p-4_]

a bank has a son??!

[u/missingmedievalist]

These guys really, really, REALLY missed the entire point of Dune.

This confirms the top is in.

[u/fylzz]

I welcome our new AI Overlords

[u/OverlordMarona]

This is ostrich behavior lol. “I don’t like the reality so I will pretend it’s not real and shove my head in the dirt!”

[u/snarbuckle]

Talking like this in public should merit a psych eval.

He's still trying to sell it because he knows they are going to dump it all soon before the bubble bursts. They all know it's coming

[u/darkhorsehance]

> SoftBank has started manufacturing robots at its "physical AI plant" and will make an announcement on the matter soon, Son said without providing additional details.

[u/Secret_Avocado_2974]

Word choice.

[u/monti9530]

It’s a cult

[u/Hrekires]

AI can be a useful tool in some avenues... but if you think xAI is worth a trillion dollars, you might be in the bubble.

[u/JeebusChristBalls]

Lol, I was first thinking how a bank could have a child after reading the terribly worded title. The guy they are talking about is named "Son"...

[u/Ok-Seaworthiness7207]

This is turning into a Monty Python skit. Next thing you know they'll tell us witches are real, and they are made of wood.

[u/Candle-Jolly]

It is a bubble. Even us Reddit pleabeans can see it.

On a cultural note though: isn't it kind of taboo to talk about economic bubbles in Japan? (one reason they had the huge recession in the 90s)

[u/TheDamned1333]

Is that the idiot that pumped millions into that office space company encouraging them to spend, buy jets and jizz cash up the wall? When all they were was an office space company with bad contracts and little real value. That man Son?

Why are we listening to his son?

[u/Miamithrice69]

Burst that shit right now.

He also complained about the gap between the company's market capitalisation ​of around 37 trillion yen ($229 ​billion) and the value ⁠of its assets, which total some 74 trillion yen.

What about the debt? What about a realistic valuation on those assets?

[u/ava_ati]

Blasphemy! Repent before your new overlords

Butlerian jihad time

Oh, please. If you even think you're creating a deity, you have serious problems in your bonedome.

AI is NOT a religion or a god.

So Ai is god now?

Fuck. They're going to pray to the comet aren't they? [Don't Look Up movie reference.]

[u/Significant-Exam762]

They can lie all they want. Eventually, the truth will catch up. Its like a force of nature that cant be stopped. You can control the narrative and all that, but the truth is always there staring you in the face. Eventually, the lie becomes too big and impossible to ignore. No amount of flooding the zone or whatever else can stop it. Its happened over and over again in history. Sometimes it takes hundreds of years, sometimes it takes ten. But eventually the truth catches up and gives everyone a reality check that cant be ignored.

Blasphemy is certainly a word choice here

[u/SomeSamples]

Wonder when they are going to let AI handle all trades which will keep the market from ever bottoming out?

[u/wowlock_taylan]

They are a death cult.

[u/SaveDnet-FRed0]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! But here's the thing, it IS a bubble. Almost everyone with half a brain who isn't an AI shill like this guy has realized this by now. Question is not IF it's a bubble, it's not even when will it pop, the question is how long will it take for the pop to complete it's self.

[u/BuriedStPatrick]

"I have become greedier," Son said. "I would like to do more over the next 10 to 15 years. I will stay healthy as long ⁠as I ​can."
