"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.

For companies, math is being reframed. Instead of comparing Windows 365 to the sunk cost of a once‑every‑five‑years PC purchase, vendors pitch it against the fully burdened price of securing, patching, and managing a distributed fleet in a hybrid‑work world.

I can see the appeal of this, especially for small businesses, as much as I don't want to. $50 per month per employee, and in exchange, the only piece of technology I have to manage myself is the VPN? Sign me up.

Sure, if the Internet goes down, so does my entire office - but that was true for every job I've ever had already.
