I also work in the industry. In particular I work in data analytics consulting. It’s all hype to sell consulting hours and compute.
- Comment on Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks 4 weeks ago:
AGI is not in reach. We need to stop this incessant parroting from tech companies. LLMs are stochastic parrots. They guess the next word. There’s no thought or reasoning. They don’t understand inputs. They mimic human speech. They’re not presenting anything meaningful.
- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 5 weeks ago:
Open ai made $2 billion on $5 billion in losses. Aside from folks on here talking about having it write proposals or spreadsheet formulas; this is not really a monetizable product. Aside from onsie twosie “it helps me write an email” scenarios, this isn’t something anyone should be spending $20 a month to boil the planet for.

Yes
- Comment on How is the Stock Market keeping it's value after *points to everything*? 1 month ago:
Because it’s now completely disconnected from the reality of the actual economy. It has been for a very long time. It has to do with how much money is funneled into the wealthiest hands.
- Comment on 'Uber for Armed Guards' Rushes to Market Following the Assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO | Are you scared to walk down the streets of NYC and also have too much money? There's an app for that 1 month ago:
What a dystopian nightmare we live in right now. Remember when politicians told us we have choices in our healthcare? I guess it says something that insurance CEOs are so hated that they need armed body guards and we’re so happy about “all our choices”.
- Comment on Zuckerberg's rightward policy shift hits Meta staffers, targets Apple 1 month ago:
I don’t think they’re mature. I think they’re just monopolized to the point where they don’t need to innovate at all. And I don’t see this as a net positive because these companies are so gigantic that they will drive down salaries and benefits for the rest of the middle sized and smaller sized companies. The other problem is that any company that gets this big now has the purchasing power to eliminate competition further cornering the talent pool and the tech market. These guys are the new oil barons of our time and their oil is our data. Not sure how to see this as anything but negative.
- Comment on Zuckerberg's rightward policy shift hits Meta staffers, targets Apple 1 month ago:
It’s pretty clear that billionaire owners of publicly traded companies will do whatever is needed to continue the “number goes up” philosophy of American capitalism. It’s the rot that underlies the whole economy. This isn’t to excuse Zuckerberg but this is America as a whole. The need to increase profits takes priority over bucking fascism, pulling back on vitriolic public discourse, stuffing hyped AI products into every crevice of tech, and pursuing monopolistic business practices. It’s all baked in. And it makes everything worse. No one is attempting to address which is why America is absolutely doomed to collapse. No one is willing to even have the conversation about corporate control/influence of government as well as the philosophy of delivering shareholder value.

This is me and I make well into the six figures. And I’m not spending above my means. This fucking sucks.
