- binary132 1y agoIt is horrifying. I guess that’s because that’s where a lot of VC and hypebuxx are right now, though. In 10 years either advanced AI will have eaten everything or nobody will even remember any of this.
- teiferer 1y agoHm idk ... The blockchain hype a while back was much less than the current AI hype and still most folks remember it.
- kjkjadksj 1y agoBrowse some job postings if you haven't for a while. Its even worse among job ads where just about everything posted out there is on working on some LLM project. It is so lopsided I wouldn't be surprised if the numbers were a lot more than 1/5 for job postings in tech.
- msgodel 1y agoOptimizing for VC money rather than focusing on building something good sounds like a good way to waste time.
- binary132 1y agounless your goal is to give yourself a fat income and sell your useless company for a bunch of money to some other speculator, pretty soon you’re a “serial entrepreneur with multiple successful exits” and ready to be a CEO
- baxtr 1y agoHow do you define an AI doomer? I’m wondering if I’m one too. My position is that I think AI is an amazing tool, but that’s it. It’s like any other tool we humans have developed before – we use it to create more quickly, with less effort. Personally, I don’t think we’re anywhere close to achieving AGI, and I find the tech bros’ AGI fantasies appalling.
- 4hg4ufxhy 1y agoMostly I just find discussions about/including it tiring, uninteresting and predictable.
- FeepingCreature 1y agoWell, AI doomers are people who think AI will doom humanity. Thus the name.
