"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Yeah, for all the undeserved hype about AI that we and I'm sure plenty of C-suites know about, there is still the issue of fiduciary duty to their bosses (shareholders).
If you're a tech CEO that knows it's all crap, but the market conditions are such that going all-in on AI is going to triple your share price for no good reason, you'll probably be in a "get that money or we'll find somebody who will" situation.
But that's also why executives get so much of their compensation in the form of stock. There's no need for shareholders to get off their asses to demand short term gains they can cash in on when the decision makers are one of them and playing the game game.
