I just listened to a recent episode of the #SharpTech podcast in which #BenThompson made a great point about #AI #hallucinations.

Computers are logical constructs that should produce outputs based on logic. 🤖 When AI hallucinates, we tend to see that as a bug. But is it?

A device that is supposedly bound by logic is making stuff up that seems feasible. That's pretty creative, and not dissimilar to the stuff we humans come up with on a daily basis.

Sure, we want accurate answers from AI. At the same time, when it starts making stuff up, that's pretty incredible too. 🤔

I've been listening to this discussion about #AI risks between #Stratechery's #BenThompson and #AndrewSharp. It is a really insightful and rational conversation that is worth listening to if you can.

I have a paid subscription to #Stratechery so this might be limited to paid subscribers.

My take away from this article by Ben Thompson is that

1) There is no Next Big Thing in technology
2) This has changed the way Silicon Valley denizens view their economy from an inevitably expanding ecosystem to a Zero Sum Game.

The four horsemen are not doing so well!
