    Why? It totally sucks and is ruining the world in almost every corner. Fuck AI with a sharp stick.

    I see this issue similar to music industry.

    Musicians would complain that modern mainstream music is crap and is ruining good music for years. Major Labels would say “fuck you, we do what we want” to them. Music enjoyers would support musicians. But vast majority of listeners wouldnt care about what they are listening to.

    Now changing some words around:

    Technicians/Programmers would complain that AI/LLM is crap and is ruining internet/peoples minds for years. Big Tech would say “fuck you, we do what we want” to them. Power users would support technicians/programmers. But vast majority of normie users wouldn’t care about what they utilize/consume online.

    Most of humanity doesnt care.

      I watch Rick Beato on YouTube. The guy loves music and appreciates every genre. When he reviews a lot of the newer top hits on Spotify, he genuinely wants to find something he can like, but a lot of it is unfortunately not at all original or musically interesting.

      As a technologist, I genuinely want to like AI and give it a fair chance, despite how infuriating the tech bros pushing it are. For coding especially, it’s really hit and miss, though. Yesterday, for example, Claude did a pretty good job analyzing some C++ code and helping me make a Python UDP socket to consume its binary protocol, though the code is really messy and needed refactoring. Other times, though, it wastes my time generating hallucinated garbage. Also, if I get one more PR to review full of AI slop where someone didn’t do their due diligence, I could just scream.

      You’re right that most of humanity doesn’t care, which is why the top hits on Spotify are mostly unoriginal and musically uninteresting background noise, and software quality is declining overall due to AI while companies continue to switch to subscription models to milk every last dime they can while most people go along with it. Humanity as a whole is a frustrating lot.

    Stop shoving it down our throats. You do not get to choke someone and expect them to like it, moron

    AI = overhype. Start evidencing actual effectiveness, Stop / kill use to speed bullshit Stop / kill use to create CSAM

    Sounds like the guidance you use to get in the 80s about finding a ditch to crawl into and covering yourself in leaves if the “bomb” gets dropped so you were easier to clean up.

    He just wants people to go away quietly whilst he profits.

    We can be negative about him, if he prefers that way: He’s about as useful as his beloved AI, after all…

    Complaining about imaginary regulatory capture for non-existent regulations because 100 billion isn’t enough blood money, also only CEO quotes no labor leaders.

    Yeah nah, the AI shit himself as well as the industry as a whole is peddling isn’t as useful as they say it is, even with the “revolutionary new Gemini 3 models”, which are just slop convo generators. The thing is, when AI is thrusted into a person’s line of sight, the label doesn’t make it so they impulsively rework their entire workflow to be the exact same in terms of quality but use an AI instead, most people brush it off as system bullshit they don’t need, and even if it could help with some things in some capacity, it’s marketed as a “feed everything into me and you can use me for everything” machines, when honestly more accurate, smaller and specialised models should be made instead, even if their purpose is also a bit dubious too.

    And sure, it might seem contradictory, but I do use an AI, but it’s pretty much just for brainstorming and conversational shit for refining my ideas through just articulating them, but I really dislike how my computers are full of AI services for no reason, with a few of my laptops with copilot baked in, another with Gemini baked in, and what have you.

    I suppose the only good thing that came out from LLMs would just be the increase from 8 to 16gb of ram on many machines, but then again, it had to drop again because of said AI companies.
