So much of the AI stuff we see today are boards reacting and worrying about being “left behind” in AI. In many cases, the goal is not to deliver value. The goal is to be able to attach a little sticker that says “AI” to their products to excite the shareholders.
Unfortunately in this case, some of the largest companies in the world haven’t been able to figure out how to run AI services at a profit.
This could change any day if some more efficient hardware arrives, but until then, most of the software world is just crossing their fingers it becomes profitable one day while they light dollar bills on fire in their datacenters.
If this isn’t “bubbleish” behavior I don’t know what is.
I was in a local bike store looking at red tail lights yesterday.
One brand Lezyne had several versions. There was an “AI Alert” one. I looked it up and it just has a sensor to detect when you brake and it changes to a different flashing mode at that time.
Thats barely even “smart” let alone “AI”.
The stupid thing is, because of this dumb claim they needed to confirm that it doesn’t collect and transmit any data about your riding habits. Its a light with no connectivity other than a charging port.

The dumbfuckery is astonishing.
