I've wondered how much of the demand for AI is industrial and related to increased productivity or science and medical research and advancements, and how much is personal frivolous Tik-Toks, putting animal heads on friends bodies, computer generated videos, getting prime orders the same day, and the general widespread use of smart phones.

I can recall feeding punch cards into computers and learning COBAL. It seems like there was a time when we went to the moon using slide rulers. It's almost like a new era.
I think we will also see a lot of AI advances in military applications. Projects with names like “Hellscape”, “Loyal Wingman” and “Overmatch” are already underway. The DoD and Anthropic are already battling over the use of an AI called “Claude”, with the feds threatening to invoke the Defense Production Act. The prospect of inhumanly fast, utterly fearless autonomous weapons systems must attract the attention of militaries the world over.
