GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: "Embrace AI or get out." (then proceeds to get out himself, 7 days later) https://www.businessinsider.com/github-ceo-developers-embrace-ai-or-get-out-2025-8?IR=T https://www.businessinsider.com/github-ceo-developers-embrac... https://www.theverge.com/news/757461/microsoft-github-thomas-dohmke-resignation-coreai-team-transition https://www.theverge.com/news/757461/microsoft-github-thomas... This industry is full of snake oil salesmen and false promises, it's reliant on hype and an army of fanboys trained on twitter to fan the flames and create the impression of a revolution that isn't there and might never be there, just to prop the valuations of the likes of OpenAI and Anthropic. It always follows the same playbook: - The guru type e.g muskie, sama, adam neumann, elizabeth holmes, SBF, says something on twitter: "XYZ is the future" - Army of same-thinkers lurkers start getting excited about it. - VC fund bros who are also forming their opinion on vibes stalking twitter, also get excited about it. - Big money poured in XYZ thing. - Guru keeps claiming that XYZ version 2.0 is just behind the corner (AGI/Superintelligence, Autonomous Self Driving Cars, the Boring Tunnel, cure for whatever) projecting insane and out of touch with reality timelines. - XYZ thing either becomes the future (not likely), or gets abandoned (remember when buying pixelized pics of apes on the internet was an "investment"?) and the collective amnesia of the fanbase doesn't keep the guru accountable. It's easy to make hundreds of claims if getting it right once, even by chance, makes you some kind of a prophet and all your wrong claims of the past are dismissed due to your fanbase's dog-like adoration for you. - Cycle repeats. The LLM craze reminds me of the NFT, web3, crypto grift all over again, but this time with a product that at least has some value.
