To be fair, many of us in the tech world still say the cloud was a mistake as implemented and are seeing others come around to our way of thinking. AWS, Azure, and Cloudflare outages. Accounts randomly deleted. Privacy issues. Etc.

My god this video is 14 years old and still just as relevant. I love the bit at the end

Well I mean it doesn't have to be out of the toilet, but yeah that's the idea.

Y'know, it's starting to make a lot of sense why tech bros like AI... They're already used to stanning for a-holes.

Gonna use AI to implement blockchain, obviously

They need you training AI to make it into a profitable product… that will replace you.

If they really believe in that, they should seek psychological help.

Also, replacing you won't generate enough revenue for keeping the main LLM provides alive. Yes, they are that wasteful.

I mean I hate AI as much as the next guy but that's ridiculous, AI definitely has its uses. The drawbacks are in the meta, the fact that it's a economic bubble, controlled by oligarchs, drains a shitload of energy and fresh water, and a threat to the job market and humanity in general.

But to pretend that it is useless is just dumb. It's overhyped and dangerous, definitely not useless.
