When the AI bubble pops, what will remain? Cheap GPUs at firesale prices, skilled applied statisticians looking for work, and open source models that already do impressive things, but will grow far more impressive after being optimized:

Admission time: I actually used a porn AI chatbot.
To defend myself, what I was trying to do is experiment with high-protocol BDSM ideas in an environment where cost of failure was low. This is when there’s a more formal hierarchy and rules. Often, the rules are deliberately unfair to the subs so that they can be “punished” for breaking them.
Problem was that chatbots would straight up hallucinate one rule or another all the time. The idea isn’t for the subs to fuck up every time. Then it’s nothing but punishment, and that doesn’t work. There needs to be times when they’re successful so they can be “praised”, and the chatbots simply couldn’t do that.
