"I want the people I teach to be worse than me" is a fucking nightmare of a want, I hope you learn to do better

I've been beating this drum for like 4~5y but: I don't think the tech itself is going anywhere. published, opensourced, etc etc - the bell can't be unrung, the horses have departed the stable

but

I do also argue that an extremely large amount of wind in the sails right now is because of the constellation of VC/hype//etc shit

can't put a hard number on this, but .... I kind see a very massive reduction; in scope, in competence, in relevance. so much of this shit (esp. the "but my opensource model is great!" flavour) is so fucking reliant on "oh yeah this other entity had a couple fuckpiles of cash with which to train", and once that (structurally) evaporates...

ah yes, the borg deep cuts, iykyk

I guess their brains don't lift

once again: take your abuser bullshit and fuck off, thanks

your post has done a significantly better job of understanding the issue than a rather-uncomfortably-large amount of programming.dev posters we get, and that's refreshing!

and, yep

"just"?

"unfortunately"?

that's a hell of a lot of leeway being extended for what is very easily demonstrably credulous PR-washing

as linked elsewhere by @fasterandworse, this absolute winner of an article about some telstra-accenture deal

it features some absolute bangers

provisional sneers follow!

Telstra is spending $700 million over seven years in the joint venture, 60 per cent of which is owned by Accenture. Telstra will get to keep the data and the strategy that’s developed

"accenture managed to swindle them into paying and is keeping all platform IP rights"

The AI hub is also an important test case for Accenture, which partnered with Nvidia to create an AI platform that works with any cloud service and will be first put to use for Telstra

"accenture were desperately looking to find someone who'd take on the deal for the GPUs they'd bought, and thank fuck they found telstra"

The platform will let Telstra use AI to crunch all the data (from customers

having literally worked telco shit for many years myself: no it won't

The platform will let Telstra use AI to crunch all the data (from customers and the wider industry)

"and the wider industry" ahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhaahahahahaha uh-huh, sure thing kiddo

“I always believe that for the front office to be simple, elegant and seamless, the back office is generally pretty hardcore and messy. A lot of machines turning. It’s like the outside kitchen versus the inside kitchen,” said Karthik Narain, Accenture’s chief technology officer.

“We need a robust inside kitchen for the outside kitchen to look pretty. So that’s what we are trying to do with this hub. This is not just a showcase demo office. This is where the real stuff happens.”

a simile so exquisitely tortured, de Sade would've been jealous

the prompt-related pivots really do bring all the chodes to the yard

and they're definitely like "mine's better than yours"

artisanal legumist

if you can't make a good post that's a you problem. if people end up poking holes in your shit and you suddenly can't keep your incoherent nonsense together, still a you problem. but:

nonsensically off-the-rails

take your abuser bullshit and fuck right off, thanks

no the worse one
