- blitzar 2y agoOn an induvidual level people are beating them by creating vapourware Ai startups and selling them to the big tech companies for stupid valuations, before proceeding to the roof for a bit of rest and vest.

Watson, IBM President, 1965" "It seems Mr. Watson has answered his own question. -- Seymour Cray"

- exabrial 2y agoAt what impact to the environment? SV’s obsession with bitcoin has been an ecological disaster. Fueling this arms race is insane. Monopolizing green power for AI crap that hallucinates, gives mediocre and incorrect answers, is like getting life advice from a drunk bar patron.

So you've established they're useful in a rhetorical argument and we've established they're applicable to this thread. If you're allowed to use them, the other commenter is allowed to use them.
