Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Speaking during an interview on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" segment earlier this week, CEO of cybersecurity giant Palo Alto Networks Nikesh Arora implored the tech industry to lower the cost of AI.

During the segment, the chief executive argued that the cost to use large language models (LLMs) has to drop by 20 percent by 2027 — and 90 percent by 2028 — for the tech to be useful to enterprises.

"We need to see the pricing for AI come down," Arora said.

This is so deeply, fundamentally hilarious to me.

  • LLM corp CEOs are getting extremely uncomfortable at the manifestly nonsensical economics of the current “AI” CapEx and recurring infra costs
  • investors in LLM corps (including the absolute fucking cabbages at other tech corps who decided circular financing was a great idea) are getting sketched out at the likely impact on their own finances, as well as the costs of LLM bullshit in general, and its likely trajectory
  • other CEOs are now seeing the very obvious cost issues as well, and are begging to return to the previous (deeply unsustainable) pricing models

I am genuinely convinced we’re gonna see the bubble pop before the end of the year.

Don't forget anyone with 3 functioning brain cells knows you don't replace workers with AI, and even using it as a productivity tool can cause workers to offload their jobs onto their coworkers with AI by outsourcing comprehension and cognition with workslop.

The "strong" tasks for AI are so limited in scope I don't think it's as world shaking as people think it is. Until they figure out the hallucination thing its just an intern who's a pathological liar. In fact I think it's worse since the intern at least knows what the truth is when they try to hide it with a lie. LLMs have no concept of truth or falsehood they just create a confident most-likely answer with no idea of what's true or false.

But it was a great way for tech to justify laying off staff as a cover for killing product lines not making money. Then non-tech companies bought the bullshit.

Famous non tech companies such as Palo Alto
