It is hard to measure the non-existent

Is the output in the room with us now?

Resting the entire economy on the rock-solid foundation of an imaginary metric that even its believers admit they can't substantiate. Great idea. This one's going in the history books. Under "comically stupid boondoggles".

The Cope is strong with this one

After 3 years all ya got is Magick?

ah yes the economic equivalent of google telling you to use a mixture of bleach and ammonia to clean your floor

How desperate is this claim?

Stock prices are a prediction of future profits, so yeah, kind of.... They're catching up to Trump's obvious economic destruction like high oil prices; most of the profit predictions don't reflect the longer-term damage to the larger economy those profits depend on. AI's effects are even fuzzier.

Suuuurrrrreee it is ……

The mention of treating intellectual property as capital as of 2013 feels about right; that's around when my company started making weird business decisions about "can we do this from the capital budget instead of sensibly expensing it?" It needs to reflect how fast IP depreciates; AI even more so.

I'd imagine people looking for Bigfoot or the Chupacabra are facing similarly hard measurement problems.

Isn't it patently insane that technology being promoted as a "new electricity" cannot produce any measurable economic gains for society? Also, these morons don't seem to realize that their analogy with dark matter and dark energy is completely backwards.

Fuck aaaaaall they way off. “we swear AI makes so much money due to a secret force that’s actually making invisible value, but you just don’t see it” cryptid-ass economics

Sophisticated cope is still cope.

fart noise

The Emperor's New Clothes, priceless

ven according to the most good faith reading of this article, AI is a bubble which is vastly over-valued. They also don't even address the hallucination problem or any of the foundational issues with the technology that makes it shit at its job.

The emperor is wearing Dark Clothes

It's one of the most intellectually dishonest things I've ever read.
