Man…
I am just so thoroughly, VIOLENTLY tired of this fucking hype craze. AI and all its proponents need to eat shit and die so we can move on to newer, cooler shit. They do NOT need to be able to threaten to vibecode new North American nuclear exclusion zones.

Fucking dumbfucks. If they actually went independent and seceded, Quebec would collapse immediately. Their economy and social structures simply aren’t built to be self-sustaining.

- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 1 month ago:
If all of that were the case… why aren’t they ALREADY profitable? There are only 2 companies in the actual LLM/AI space, OpenAI and Anthropic, and OpenAI is already so dominant that Anthropic is a noncontender. Since that is the case, why aren’t either of them profitable? If they were, they’d be screaming about it constantly; Altman would be on stage every single goddamn day boasting about it; OpenAI would be posting monthly, if not WEEKLY profit reports, just to show how much money they were making as “”“The Future™️”“”; public investors would be POURING IN like nothing else mattered!!!
So where is it? Where’s the profit? Where are the reports and press conferences, the investor statements and the IPO’s? Where’s the goddamn money, Lebowski???
And don’t say they’re in the “growth stage” or whatever. 4 years in and a TRILLION DOLLARS LATER, there’s no profit to be seen, no remarkable products to use, nothing of substance except billions burned building bespoke data centers and polluting the planet. The whole AI “”“industry”“” is a lie.

Hard to do that when there’s no profit NOW.

There was a study, years ago, where they found that socio/psychopaths made up like 30% of all C-Suite employees. In the larger population, they make up less than 2%, and that’s including all partial diagnoses. Add onto that the fact that most upper-level staff at any major firm these days are dipshit Business Idiots who know fuck all about jack shit, and you get the modern irrational economy.

Just read the sections on Sociopaths and Psychopaths. They describe your average marketing department.

The main difference between Science and fucking around is that Science has you write things down. So long as you record everything you did, even if it ended up with wildly unexpected results, it’s valid.

- Comment on There isn’t an AI bubble—there are three 2 months ago:
So this article does raise some good points - mainly that there are in fact 3 distinct bubbles here with LLMs. However, it handwaves 2 of them as being “irrelevant” for any company that just “”“acts smart”“” and “”“navigates things properly”“”. While it correctly points out that absolutely ABSURD amounts of money are being spent ($7 TRILLION race is the term they use), it compares the AI hypetrain and infrastructure buildouts to the Dot Com Bubble, Amazon, and PayPal, without making the critical connection of “Amazon and PayPal were focused on solving a single problem and spent magnitudes less money to solve it; what the fuck have these LLMs actually DONE??? Where has the fucking money gone???”
Overall, I rate this article a 3/10. It’s pure AI-copium disguised as economic analysis. I recommend many of the pieces by Ed Zitron instead.

Hey man, I appreciate it. I’m currently living with my folks right now, so I’m not struggling or stressed much, but even they can see the writing on the wall. We’re in Hell, and it’s not getting better anytime soon, so they’re very supportive of me trying things to become more employable. As for things improving soon, I don’t see that happening without a massive twist of fate, since modern politicians and techbros seem dead set on burning everything down for short term profits. Gonna do my best to face each day as it comes, though.

I graduated with a bachelor’s in Economics, because I found it interesting. Nobody told me that even entry-level roles in that field required a master’s or better. After 2 years of working in Craft Beer, and a year unemployed looking to continue that, I’m now going back for a bachelor’s in Fermentation Science, because that’s a field AI slop will never be able to “”“disrupt”“”.

I’ve been unemployed for over a year, with several years previous experience doing delivery and warehouse/logistical work. These are fields that are constantly in demand, because that’s just how America’s economy is structured. I have sent out so many applications that I have lost count, and I’ve never gotten past the second round of interviews. Whether I use LLMs to cater my resume or not, it doesn’t matter. I’ve talked with multiple recruiters and career counselors, at the advice of parents, friends, and associates, to try and better structure my resume, and they’ve all come back and told me that it’s a “very strong document”, and that there was little to improve on with it. The notion of “just dust off your resume and apply to a bunch of places” has finally, truly failed, and the title of this article is 1000000% correct, because there’s no logical or rational way that the job market could be so supposedly full of opportunities, yet so impossiblly hard to break into, even with years, or even decades of experience.
WE ARE IN HELL.
Now I’m back at University, getting a second degree in a field I’m legitimately interested in, and all anyone around me can think to say is “It’s great that you’re trying so hard to get a degree in a field you’re interested in!.. but what are the job prospects of that field? Have you talked to a career counselor about it? Are you sure you want to do this?” because the market is so fucked beyond belief that nobody can even think of pursuing a passion professionally anymore. We are in Hell. We are in Hell, and have been for years, and we won’t be leaving anytime soon, to the detriment of all.
We are in Hell.

Fucking prove it then.
Just because some Techbro CEO has a wet dream about it doesn’t mean it’ll happen. They’re talking a lot of shit for their $0 in space tech investment.
