Right, but PetSmart was an existing retailer that added e-commerce, not a startup burning VC money on an unproven model: the tech worked, the hype-driven bet didn't. GenAI has its uses. That it will transform everything for everyone, a

Market has the final say, not tech. If no one uses/buys the tech, as investor or customer... it won't feed anyone.

That's kind of proving my point here. E-commerce succeeded, but not in the form Pets and WebVan proposed, and not in the timeline their investors needed. The question is not: is it useful, but (as any investor asks): does this bet, at

I don't mean burst like that (neither a conspiracy), rather a striking coincidence: there are huge applications for GPUs, true. But the inflation of expectations and investments in them because of GenAI, when this inflation bursts may

She says something more structural than that: there's a pattern, sold by the same people, with the same contempt to social consequences and democratic rules: GenAI, multiverse, NFTs, cryptos; what else next? Incidentally, each "wa

QA is actual work. Building the thing is actual work. Each is not "the" work, which is the task of the whole company. QA perspective and focus is just different from the one of the team building the thing. It's precisely beca

Let's say it will be. Who will then define, debate and hold standards/regulations/norms, then? and adherence to those standards, as well as the legal responsibility that comes with it? What happens when a totally automated so

If you care about: the consistency of your output, what you're selling to your customers, you have not much of a choice (than to control what you are shipping). Not even mentioning the potential regulatory/market and legal consequ

Makes a lot of sense. One additional point of data about caring about exit interviews: I have been in a team where an excellent engineer left for a different company. He came back about one year later a more senior role, and was instrumenta

I disagree. I do not care about the details of a ton of stuff. I do not even understand them. On the other hand, I do care about people that are knowledgeable of these details, specialized, and trust to handle them for me for a fee. That’s

I have first hand and second hand seen more failure from this line of reasoning _as of today_, in the French/European tech sector, than successes. Not even talking about those executives that expect to use Gen AI to "help" in

Guys guys. I do share the sentiment. On the other hand. Unless we have a breakthrough hardware/physical innovation, GenAI in its current forecast is not energy-efficient, cost-efficient, compared to human/deterministic methods. It

The question is: what is the use case? If you don't have a practical use case, the probability that there is one AND that it will use your library (instead of building its own, adjusted to their needs) is next to zero. (I have been the

For producers, ignoring a SHOULD is riskier because it shifts the burden to every consumer. For consumers, ignoring a SHOULD mostly affects their own robustness. But here Google seems to understand it as a MUST... maybe the scale of spam is

Lots of opinions either way. What's peculiar is the disconnect in some arguments here. If you are serious and down to business, taking into consideration the cultural bit over the efficiency or value of the relationship is backwards;

I guess so, but they still seem confused: > Job's level of success. We never hear about them. Success != hearing about it. You don't hear or know about most people success, or failure, for that matter; even huge ones. You know
