The AI Boom Is Starting to Look a Lot Like the Dot-Com Burst, But Worse
- Vice is a joke.pablo28
- we will c how many compannies will be around in the next years ... my guess is most will be bust....a.i will be here of course just like the internet...neverscared
- the market is clearly bloated like it always is when things get massivley bloated and hyped. same old same old...neverscared
- Vice is a shell of itself, but "AI Bubble" has been a heavy trend over the past month or so. I'm not reading the article, so rate my guess:garbage
- FAANG is quadrupling down on insustainability while most endusers remain blind?garbage
- There is no AI.grafician
- There is def. no I in your brainneverscared
- Its another gold rush. Most will falter naturally. Infrastructure and hardware will continue to make money i believe.Beeswax

Any good alternatives for AI video upscaling other than Topaz?
- I'll probably buy Topaz eventually but would prefer subscription or pay as you go service if possible.yuekit
- same, i've found upscaling frame-by-frame with Real-ESRGAN works well but not sure its Topaz quality...kingsteven
- Shutter Encoder (free video encoder on PC) has it built in (if you have a decent graphics card) but should be easy to do on Apple tookingsteven
- Interesting, thanksyuekit

Anyone here actually paying for ChatGPT Plus or any alternative? I've been using Qolaba AI and just buying credits, but I'm probably spending more than just subscribing directly. I like that I can access different models like Claude and Gemini from there, but since I'm a dirty jobless hobo I kinda want to be as frugal as possible while I experiment.
I've had decent success with Claude Sonnet 4 but I want to start experimenting more with agents and agent creation. The fragmentation of the space is giving me a migraine.
- I pay for GPT, have for a long while, not sure if it's the best tool for research and marketing, hence taking a certificate course in AI now...canoe
- Maybe qolaba.ai and poe.com are my best bets? Fuck, I don't know anymore.5timuli
- Work pays for chatGPT, just the first tier. I use it every day for planning, research and first draft copy. I have found the lyra prompt builder useful (reddit)slappy
- Perplexity ofcgrafician
- www.abacus.ai is $10 a month, and you can use many of largest LLMs and AI Models under one roof.utopian
- I pay for GPT and Midjourneymonospaced
- $600-ish/mo on AI tools, used to be more. I've been slowly putting together parts to build a rig and get off of these damn subscriptionsYakuZoku
- I had the OpenAI $200 subscription for a while, it was nice to be able to generate more images/video at once but ultimately kind of expensive for what you get.yuekit
- $20 subscription though is easy to justifyyuekit
- @YakuZoku What does build a rig mean?yuekit
- have 2 open.ai .. one which my wife and i share, and the other just for coding/hardware development.autoflavour
- mainly as it just gets all confused if im spamming code requests while wifey is getting it to write press releases etc.. never cross the streamsautoflavour

We had a discussion about AI generated bands a week ago?
Anyway, somebody went and did it already :))
"An indie rock band with more than a million monthly listeners on Spotify has owned up to being an AI-generated music project following days of speculation about whether the group was real.
Named Velvet Sundown -- seemingly a nod to Lou Reed's band The Velvet Underground -- the digital group has become a viral hit, generating ferocious online discussion after racking up hundreds of thousands of listens.
An updated Spotify profile, consulted on Tuesday by AFP, admitted that the group was an "ongoing artistic provocation"."

"xAI has introduced two new AI features: Imagine, for generating videos from text prompts, and Valentine, an interactive companion. These tools will roll out in beta to Grok Heavy subscribers, offering capabilities like video creation with sound and dynamic content generation. The features aim to enhance user experiences in generative AI."
