The "AI wave" is a scam. Everyone missed the AI wave because it sucks at everything except making slop.
I was going to say. If such a wave existed, Microsoft (which has considerable leverage over, and integration with, OpenAI) rode it better than almost every other company.
Oh no no, they have NOT been riding this wave well.
Microsoft and Google have each invested like 200 billion into AI crap and Google wound up with a MUCH better product.
Apple has invested like 10% of that, choosing instead to outsource. IMO they are the real winners here (of the preciously-established tech giants)
My prediction is that Anthropic will "win" the AI arms race in the US but it won't really matter because Deepseek continues to one-up them and OpenAI's bankruptcy will destroy the economy anyway
Well yea, but we can all help by not making blanket statements about actual AI when we’re actually only discussing generative AI, agentic AI ::rolleyes:: or other nonsense toys
Why the fuck would we want to help? Every AI product I've encountered has been dogshit. There is no "actual AI". Just slop machines shitting slop into each other and poisoning any data they are able to alter.
Doesn't exist, so there is the only one statement we can make about it, and it will have to be a blanket one.
This comment is for you as well.
