"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Fucking hell, that's so much money to burn on management's AI addiction. Have to wonder how your finance department feels about burning almost half a million a month.
Also, wild that management is telling you that not letting your skills degrade by handing everything off to an AI is what'll make you unemployable.
They think once the ball is rolling, then they can phase out the humans.
They think that AI usage is like training a junior dev, that it starts out hopeless but over time can operate without the expertise.
They don't realize that invoking AI doesn't work that way, that the context window is the only accumulation of anything germain to your codebase, and that the model doesn't evolve based on that interaction.
So they don't care about the skills, they want to get to the point where they can toss a prompt into Claude and have it all taken care of, thinking that their employee usage of it somehow accelerates that outcome.
Oh look, finance has a friend in the other company. This is classic corruption: order shit from your friend's business and pretend it was necessary.
That's just a handful of enthusiastic interns, except that you aren't investing in cultivating future talent...
