📌 MAROKO133 Eksklusif ai: Sam Altman Warns That AI Industry Is Due for a Spectacul

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is doing what he does best: warning of AI-related doom that he doesn’t sound all that pressed about.

Last week, while touring one of OpenAI’s mammoth data centers being built in Abilene, Texas, Altman had a pretty casual outlook when he was asked about a bubble that could financially decimate the entire industry.

“Between the ten years we’ve already been operating and the many decades ahead of us, there will be booms and busts,” Altman ruminated, as quoted by The Associated Press. “People will overinvest and lose money, and underinvest and lose a lot of revenue.”

“We’ll make some dumb capital allocations,” he conceded — but assured that “over the arc that we have to plan over, we are confident that this technology will drive a new wave of unprecedented economic growth.” 

It’s the kind of blasé, bromidic talk you’d expect to hear from a coach of a sports team that’s on a historic losing streak. Oh yes, “there’ll be ups and downs” — and your eyes glaze over. You forgive them, though, because, well, what else are they going to say? That everything’s going down the toilet?

But Altman commands a half-trillion-dollar startup that’s the tip of the spear for an out-of-control AI gold rush. Pretty much the entire world economy is tangled up in the hundreds of billions of investment being poured into the industry. 

Illustrating just how all-devouring AI is, here’s this worrying statistic provided by the Wall Street Journal: in the US, capital expenditures for AI contributed more to growth in the economy in the past two quarters than all of consumer spending, according to Neil Dutta, head of economic research at Renaissance Macro Research, citing data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

So it’s hardly an exaggeration to suggest that if the AI bubble bursts, it could take the whole economy down with it.

And the omens are everywhere if you look for them — the most looming being the fact that the biggest AI firms haven’t demonstrated that they can turn a profit with the tech that everyone is banking billions of dollars on revolutionizing productivity. 

But nonchalant doomsaying is Altman’s specialty. And it’s not the first time that he’s warned about an AI bubble. In August, he outright said we were in one.

“When bubbles happen, smart people get overexcited about a kernel of truth,” Altman told reporters, as quoted by The Verge. “Are we in a phase where investors as a whole are overexcited about AI? My opinion is yes.”

He’s also warned for years that AI will wipe out entire categories of jobs, cripple society by drowning it in misinformation, or perhaps cause a Terminator-style apocalypse that lays waste to the human race.

Of course, when Altman makes these prophecies about AI, he’s also hyping it up. And perhaps part of why he can seem so nonplussed about impending catastrophes, financial or existential, is that he’s convinced that his company will be the one that comes out the other side stronger.

Right after warning of a bubble in August, Altman acknowledged that “someone” will lose a “phenomenal amount of money,” but that, of course, “we don’t know who.”

📌 MAROKO133 Update ai: Chinese scientists achieve first manned polar deep dive, ro

China has carried out its first manned deep dive beneath the Arctic ice, as part of its 15th and largest Arctic Ocean scientific expedition, which concluded last month.

The mission also marked the world’s first coordinated operation between a crewed and uncrewed submersible in the polar region. During the dives, researchers collected hundreds of deep-sea samples and gathered data on biodiversity, ocean hydrology, sea ice conditions, and water chemistry. 

The expedition covered a wide area of the central Arctic Ocean, providing valuable insights into deep-sea ecosystems and climate change, with the goal to support data analysis and improve our understanding of the Arctic’s changing environment.

Upgraded Jiaolong submersible leads China’s first crewed dives 

China’s latest Arctic Ocean expedition brought together an advanced research fleet that included the domestically built icebreaker Xue Long 2, the Jidi icebreaker, the research vessel Tansuo 3, and the research ship Shenhai 1 carrying the Jiaolong manned submersible, the South China Morning Post reported.

Departing from Qingdao in eastern Shandong province in July, the fleet sailed as far north as latitude 77.5 degrees, carrying out marine environmental surveys and deep-sea dives, according to CCTV. 

The large-scale mission – the country’s most extensive Arctic expedition to date – concluded on September 26, when the final 100 researchers returned to Shanghai aboard Xue Long 2. The upgraded Jiaolong submersible performed China’s first crewed dives in ice-covered Arctic waters, gathering valuable data and samples from extreme depths.

According to Fu Wentao, chief pilot of the Jiaolong manned submersible, the team expanded the vessel’s usual single-point operating method during the Arctic mission. They carried out a coordinated dive with a remotely operated vehicle, addressing challenges such as underwater communication, positioning accuracy, and synchronized movement. Fu noted that the successful trial marked an important step toward more complex joint operations in future deep-sea expeditions.

Jiaolong submersible collects 183 samples 

In August, China’s Arctic expedition carried out a series of joint dives featuring the Jiaolong manned submersible and a remotely operated vehicle, marking a new milestone in polar research. During these missions, the two vehicles filmed each other underwater while collecting valuable biological and geological material from the Arctic seabed. 

Over the course of more than ten dives, Jiaolong gathered 183 biological samples – including shrimps, sea spiders, and sea anemones – along with sediment, rock, and seawater specimens for further analysis.

According to the National Deep Sea Centre in Qingdao, the biological and geological samples collected during the Arctic dives were of notably higher quality than those obtained through traditional trawling methods. These improved samples are expected to support more precise morphological identification and further scientific study. 

In addition, researchers from the Second Institute of Oceanography under China’s Ministry of Natural Resources employed AI tools and environmental DNA detection techniques to enhance the identification and classification of deep-sea organisms, marking a step forward in the integration of advanced technologies in marine research.
