Fuck AI

Musk still has people believing Tesla can do self driving, for like 10 years now. And no one calls him out on that shit.

Altmann lies are much more destructive as the impact they will have on the economy due to executives believing this and companies will be irreparably harmed. Many will not recover depending how far they go into the rabbit hole.

2010s grifting techniques are showing limits

Unfortunately this article isn’t really one of them. It spends most of its time defending the AI status quo. Ex:

. . . although Financial Times columnist Robert Armstrong noted this week that the MIT report "reads like something given away on the 'research' page of a large consultancy." Its conclusions are fairly obvious, he said: People like ChatGPT for basic tasks and hate complicated enterprise systems, and companies that try to build their own AI usually fail.

The study attributes these failures to implementation problems rather than model quality. "The core issue? Not the quality of the AI models, but the 'learning gap' for both tools and organizations," Fortune wrote about the study. Purchased AI tools succeed 67 percent of the time, while internally built systems succeed only one-third as often. This isn't necessarily an indictment of AI technology as a whole—it's potentially an indictment of corporate IT departments thinking they can out-engineer existing applications from AI service providers like OpenAI.
