While I’m not a huge fan of the budge bracket class existing, I would say that: 1. Bezos once said something along the lines of don’t judge me by how much money I have, rather look at how may other wealthy people I’ve made. That view may be

Correct. The US has already ruled that there are no IP protections for AI generated content

There will be many more things like this and it’s an elephant in the room for the supposed mass replacement of people with AI. Some human still has to be accountable. Someone has to get fired / go to jail when something screws up. You

As written this would be the end of Anthropic. AWS, Microsoft et al are all suppliers of the DoW and as written they must immediate stop doing business with Anthropic. Will be interesting to see how this unfolds.

This is more complicated than just hand wavy spending expectation resets. Other companies were taking these “commitments” and gearing up for capital investments to meet all that demand which is now vaporizing. That creates a big mess as the

The markets are skeptical at the moment. A bunch of tech IPOs in the last few years have tanked 70+% since the IPO and that can be devastating to a company. Also there’s a ton of overhead associated with being public that nobody really want

The AI bros are saying everyone will be out of work in 5 years. Economists and businesses are calling BS and saying AI is cool, but basically adding zero measurable value with 95% of AI projects failing. The truth is likely somewhere in the

There are serious balance sheet concerns for these companies with exposure to OpenAI, Anthropic and such. It’s all fun and games till it’s not. All this capital investment is going to start hitting earnings as massive deprecation and/o

Even the latest models are quite easily fooled about if something is true or not, at which point they then confidently declare completely wrong information to be true. They will even strongly debate with you when you push back when you say

“Regularly scheduled programming” includes progress, not stasis. It just means the AI hype firehouse runs out of money and we rerun to normal sane progress and productivity enhancements without all the overpricing and under delivering of th

I like AI and use it daily, but this bubble can’t pop soon enough so we can all return to normally scheduled programming. CEOs are now on the downside of the hype curve. They went from “Get me some of that AI!” after first hearing about it,

Not really though: 1. Companies like savings but they’re not dumb enough to just wipe out junior roles and shoot themselves in the foot for future generations of company leaders. Business leaders have been vocal on this point and saying it’

This is the elephant in the room nobody wants to talk about. AI is dead in the water for the supposed mass labor replacement that will happen unless this is fixed. Summarize some text while I supervise the AI = fine and a useful productivit

You’re not supposed to ask such logical questions. It kills the AI vibe.

The cracks are showing, and all the “AI is going to eliminate 50% of white collar jobs” fear mongering is simply signaling we’re in the final stages before the bubble implosion. The AI bros desperately need everyone to believe this is the f

That was largely due to the crypto mining bubble popping just as the AI bubble was getting started

This is all basically a textbook example of irrational market decisions. There’s clearly a bubble and not enough money coming in to pay for the AI bonanza. It’s building materials being in short supply when there’s obviously more houses tha

Amazon’s leadership culture is pretty low EQ and they often fail to see things that others would find fairly obvious. The Amazon Go stores and “Just Walk Out” were a good idea on paper but terribly executed because Amazon leaders didn’t und

Amazon knew exactly what they were doing… they’re just scrambling because they got caught and underestimated the public backlash from their actions. They made a calculated decision, and calculated wrong. Every tech savy person I know is wor

This is the latest in a string of accidents with these drones crashing into things. Not good. The earlier ones hit a crane which one could argue was an edge case as a temporary structure. This just hit a building which suggests something mu

This is a good idea. Although most AI written content is also stroll pretty obvious. It consistently has a certain feel that just seems off.

“Killing” is a bit strong, but is there a world where folks just vibe code solutions that they would have bought previously? Absolutely and and I think that world is here now. I’ve seen many startups recently were it was like “guys I could

You have the right to try and fly without an ID. The airlines also have the right to tell you to buzz off and get lost and the airport operator has the right to decide they don’t want you in the building and trespass you if you don’t scram.

We’ll likely see a lot of these AI pet projects get axed in the coming year or two… especially things rushed out in the early phases of the AI bubble when folks were desperate to appear to be using AI.

The tech here was good but the product implementation was terrible. These scanners just showed up randomly in places and just sat there unused. I literally both saw them all over and never actually saw anyone use it. No clear onboarding pat

Not a great example. Football doesn’t change much. You don’t need to actively play football to know how to lead a football team well. Tech is very different… given the pace of change you quickly no longer have any clue what’s happening unle

Amazon is flailing at this point and now in a pattern of mass layoffs every 3-6 months. Not good. Leadership can’t even gets its story straight about why… “It’s AI” correction “Pandemic over-hiring” correction “delayering” correction “resto

I’m generally supportive of the tech industry’s move to rid itself of too many mangers. Most managers are no longer technical, and just create bloated middle layers that slow everyone else down. The only managers that are decent are the one

What a mess. So many teams there seem to be in complete disarray and panic. This isn’t helping that perception.
