Quoting Nilay Patel

The products aren't good enough to sell people on the costs.


You cannot tell people that you have to listen to the whine of a data center in their backyard for AI overviews and some of the most hilarious deep fake slop in history. It just isn't worth it to anyone. And agents aren't real and they might not be being used the way that anyone wants them to yet.

All these companies are spending more than they're making on these products. Refrigerators holding blood storage in Europe are being hacked. And if you connect that to corruption, you're like, in order to impose these costs on me, these CEOs are in the White House shaking Trump's hand, renaming it to the Gulf of America, paying for this ballroom that we don't want.

It's obvious crypto-corruption, and it's still slop. The AI industry will not get out of it until they make better products.
