The first paragraph feels like a parody of one of the LinkedIn marketing professional that receives a valuable insight from a toddler when their pet goldfish was run over by a car.

So people will be paying money for the nostalgia of ChatGPT after it dies? That tracks.

That's how the cloudy platforms get you. They're very cheap on the low end, until they're not.

The end game is this: If you're not using AI, you're not as efficient as you could be and should be fired. Also, if you're using AI, then a computer can peform your work, so you should be fired.

There is a big rationale behind it. If their AI investments don't pan out, Microsoft will cease to exist. They've been out of ideas since the late 90s. They know that the subscription gravy train has already peaked. There is no mo

This is once again strongly suggesting that Microsoft is thoroughly doomed if the money they've dumped into AI doesn't pan out. It seems to me that if your company is tied to Microsoft's cloud platform, you should probably co

That certainly explains why Microsoft is so desperate to force everyone into using their AI whether they want to or not. I'm wondering if the deal will end Microsoft when OpenAI goes belly up.

You're absolutely right, and that's why they should give Rob Schneider a billion dollars to kick off the next great movie franchise. Everyone loves Rob Schneider.

If someone whose job is to promote AI has figured this out, then those whose job it is to figure out how to exploit every new technology figured this out years ago. It was game over before the game even started. The party is over.

All their numbers are immediatley suspect since they admit to using ChatGPT to get their numbers. Oh, and their wonderful conclusion that something that fits fully in the CPU's caches is faster than something sitting a few hops away in

They weigh it. That's all they do. I know someone that bought an open box camera off Amazon and received a piece of wood that weighed the same as the camera.

The cult of marketing ruined it. They're still fantasizing about personalisation, which in marketing speak means optimizing a mattress sale opportunity for Ted Waciznski of 932 West Moreland Ave in Walla Walla, Washington next Tuesday

The bigger question is whether it's going to disappear completely for the next 30 years, or if it's going to limp along, simmering on the back burner, just trying to optimize mattress sales.

Big money investors know that real tangible products that have real tangible benefits aren't usually decimal-point-shifting-your-net-worth jackpots. They make money, sure, but factories can't be built in a day. Also, if they can m

At some point one of the big tech companies is going to be the next Sears.

And that's bad? The average person is pretty darned average.

Or major web properties for that matter.

Well, they've done it boys, they've made creative fulfillment obsolete. They've DISRUPTED the concept of going to big music festivals, and small cozy shows. Just plug your ear holes with the AI slop bucket's pure beeps a

Right, but the LLM isn't really being used for that. It's being used for marketing and advertising purposes most of the time. The AI companies also let you play with it from time to time so you'll be a shill for them, but mos

Specifically, it's where the technical-creative eyeballs were, which is why twitter was such a weird and magical place. That and the algorithm that amplified anger at outrage, but mostly, well at least partly, it was the people.

Where is your peer-reviewed research that shows your opinion on this is correct? Do you have the numbers to back that up? Is there any verified source of data that says, "I love it when the people of HN find my blog post and start scre

So, all these people laid off from big companies that were doing real non-chatbot AI and ML research combined with robotics or other machine control to do things that would have changed the world for the better if the project hadn't be

The article is something known as "a blog post" with a bunch of words known as "an opinion". It's not a thorough economic analysis from an economist using validated data sources and empirical research backed by stri

And what's that core business again? Collecting as much data as you can on your users and then using that to sell ads, or possibly the data itself.

Seriously. Major security implications here as there's a potential for replay attacks.

Most frontend development shouldn't be necessary as they're writing repetitive code that implements features that are missing from browsers. And it shouldn't be that hard to add those missing features to browsers. They'r

I've seen STEAM and SHTEAM tossed around as they add art and history to the mix. It's clear at this point that sports were a mistake.

It's just a filler that in the form of a DE connector with no holes for any pins. It was an old full-rack CISC AS/400 for what it's worth, but I scrapped it 30 years ago.

I thought they tossed the fool that tried to make mebibyte a thing off a bridge and we tried to forget about that.

by bigbuppo 1y ago
It can, but nobody would do that as it would be cheaper to use a DB-25 connector and not use all the pins. If they went for the cursed true DB-9 they would need to meet the minimum order quantity for a special order, pay for the manufacture
