literally unreadable

image descriptionthe most ordinary newspaper headline I could find: the San Francisco Chronicle’s front page where the title is “INVASION!” in the biggest font they could justify (pun intended) and the subtitle is “Allies pouring into Northern France!” because it’s a headline about the Nazi killing parts of world war 2 I like and recommend

404media posted an article absolutely dunking on the idea of pivoting to AI, as one does:

media executives still see AI as a business opportunity and a shiny object that they can tell investors and their staffs that they are very bullish on. They have to say this, I guess, because everything else they have tried hasn’t worked

I was hoping they’d get interesting so I didn’t jump on banning them, but holy shit did they ever take so much space in the thread to say fucking nothing. now I’m pruning hopefully just enough so viewers can get a taste of how much horseshit they were spewing without being tempted to take up more space continuing any of it.

programmers learned what N means in statistics and immediately realized that “this N is too small” is a cool shortcut to sounding smart without reading the study, its goals, or its conclusions. and you can use it every time N is smaller than the human population on earth!

this particular abyss just fucking hurts to gaze into

the reason why we’re calling AI a bubble isn’t because we think the people illegally running gas generators to power their datacenters have suddenly grown a conscience

we’re calling it a bubble because just like with NFTs, there’s no use case for LLMs or generative AI that stands up to even mild scrutiny, but the people funneling money into this crap don’t seem to have noticed yet
