Let's see, that's like four or five articles with basically the same observation this week? That I've seen or read about. There are probably others. The clock is ticking.
For a good ongoing rundown of what a shit hype bubble the industry is in, see the newsletter and podcast of Ed Zitron.
People keep replying to recommendations for Zitron's work asking for links or thanking people who post them. Can people not search "Ed Zitron newsletter," or "Ed Zitron podcast"? I'm kinda surprised how much this happens (I promote his work on every story about AI going to shit because he does a great job of breaking it all down).
Would it kill you to add the links yourself?
There you go:
I frequently add links to a book that I oft recommend, a torrent exposing USA fascists, and a podcast about the housing crisis. It wouldn't kill me to do two more, but there's only so much time I'm willing to spend.
