Introducing TokenTown -> a SimCity-like animation showing how large language models actually work

Run a prompt, set your temperature and top_p parameters and watch what happens.

but how can you know the author used AI in the first place, and more than that, if he indeed did it, that he didn't check what the LLM did?

how do you know it has been vibe-coded? And why does it matter?

You are right, one might happen before the other one. However it's impossible to measure when the bubble might pop, whereas looking at how much money hyperscalers and governments put into this might provide a quantitative metric.

Show HN: I built a website showing the likelihood of the AI bubble to pop

I built a web page that aggregates data about data center buildup, sovereign fund investments into AI and bottlenecks. The objective is to predict AI race cooldown by looking at a potential decrease of activity involving these elements. The website looks at the quarterly forms from the 5 biggest hyperscalers and adds their CapEx into the mix, calculating a composite index in the end showing how likely it is for the AI race to slow down. Enjoy!

nitpick about what you said: you don't wanna postpone that plan too much. At 40 you won't have the energy to keep up with the needs of the kid. You will hate your life and you'll make a ton of mistakes. I had them young, and my career and financial situation weren't affected at all.

I recently built this page which uses data like CapEx from the quarterly forms of the 5 biggest hyperscalers, or how many data centers are being built, and it calculates a composite index showing how likely it is for the AI bubble to pop.

What do you expect them to say? More annoying ads? They're trying to wrap this in a positive way. Everyone knows that ads are annoying.

Excellent tool for scammers.

I cannot agree more. Useful idiots and people working in private equity which have a direct financial interest to hype this tech.

It's tech bros like you that are to blame for the shortage of radiologists supporting statements since 2016 which state that radiologists will disappear. Your great SOTA LLMs will tell you to walk 5 mins to the car wash instead of taking the car.

Good luck to you if the prompt is written by health insurance.

You are confusing the job with a subset of tasks. Some tasks can be automated, some won't. That doesn't mean LLMs, which cannot tell how many r's are in strawberry, will replace anyone.

Try Opencode or Comrade. Both OSS and working great with OSS models too.
