Seriously? Another One of These Articles…

Right, so Bret Taylor – the OpenAI board chair, apparently still a thing – has admitted we’re in an AI bubble. Shocking. Like anyone with half a brain hasn’t figured that out already. Billions thrown at glorified autocomplete and image generators? Yeah, it’s a bubble. A big, frothy, overhyped bubble.

But get this: he thinks it’s…okay? Says it’s “healthy” for there to be exuberance and failure. Oh, fantastic. So all the VCs throwing money at nonsense can feel *good* about wasting perfectly good capital? Wonderful. He’s babbling on about long-term benefits and how this is just part of the process. Like every tech bubble before it, right?

The article also mentions they’re focusing on “responsible scaling” now – which translates to “trying not to completely break everything when this whole house of cards collapses.” They’re talking about safety and alignment, because apparently building something powerful without a clue how to control it is *totally* a good idea first.

Honestly, the whole thing smells like damage control and trying to reassure investors that their money isn’t completely gone yet. Don’t expect anything useful from this bunch anytime soon.

Look, I once had to debug a script written by a “genius” AI developer who thought commenting code was optional. It took me three days and an industrial amount of caffeine. This whole AI gold rush is giving me flashbacks. Don’t come crying to *me* when your chatbot starts demanding world domination.
