This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
We could have housed and fed every homeless person in the US. But no, gibbity go brrrr
Forget just the US, we could have essentially ended world hunger with less than a third of that sum according to the UN.
Thank god they have their metaverse investments to fall back on. And their NFTs. And their crypto. What do you mean the tech industry has been nothing but scams for a decade?
Tech CEOs really should be replaced with AI, since they all behave like the seagulls from Finding Nemo and just follow the trends set out by whatever bs Elon starts
Could've told them that for $1B.
Heck, I'da done it for just 1% of that.
So I'll be getting job interviews soon? Right?
"Well, we could hire humans...but they tell us the next update will fix everything! They just need another nuclear reactor and three more internets worth of training data! We're almost there!"
Imagine what the economy would look like if they spent 30 billion on wages.
They'll happily burn mountains of profits on that stuff, but not on decent wages or health insurance.
Some of them won't even pay to replace broken office chairs for the employees they forced to RTO.
I've started using AI on my CTOs request. ChaptGPT business licence. My experience so far: it gives me working results really quick, but the devil lies in the details. It takes so much time fine tuning, debugging and refactoring, that I'm not really faster. The code works, but I would have never implemented it that way, if I had done it myself.
Looking forward for the hype dying, so I can pick up real software engineering again.
The first problem is the name. It's NOT artificial intelligence, it's artificial stupidity.
People BOUGHT intelligence but GOT stupidity.
Artificial Imbecility
Surprise, surprise, motherfxxxers. Now you'll have to re-hire most of the people you ditched. AND become humble. What a nightmare!
Either spell the word properly, or use something else, what the fuck are you doing? Don't just glibly strait-jacket language, you're part of the ongoing decline of the internet with this bullshit.
You're absolutely right about that, motherfucker.
I hope every CEO and executive dumb enough to invest in AI looses their job with no golden parachute. AI is a grand example of how capitalism is ran by a select few unaccountable people who are not mastermind geniuses but utter dumbfucks.
The comments section of the LinkedIn post I saw about this, has ten times the cope of some of the AI bro posts in here. I had to log out before I accidentally replied to one.
As expected. Wait until they have to pay copyright royalties for the content they stole to train.
Where is the MIT study in question? The link in the article, apparently to a PDF, redirects elsewhere
STOP CALCULATING KEEP SHOVELING
Wonder if the 5% that actually made money included companies that sell enterprise AI services, like AWS, Microsoft, and Google?
It's also making people deskill.

"Ruh-roh, Raggy!"
It's okay. All the people that you laid off to replace with AI are only going to charge 3x their previous rate to fix your arrogant fuck up so it shouldn't be too bad!
Computer science degrees being the most unemployed degree right now leads me to believe this will actually suppress wages for some time
