C-suite executives, meanwhile, are facing the heavy burden of squeezing blood from AI’s proverbial stone. 72 percent of all surveyed execs said their company’s AI strategy is causing them stress or anxiety, 32 percent of whom characterize their stress as “high” or “crippling.”

lol, lmao

Oh boo hoo. Poor widdle babies. Sooooo much stress from literally being bad to sleep on your ass while working class folks are being starved of their livelihoods.

How the fuck are they better than me. They keep getting more more more good things shoved in their face, and I’m supposed to feel bad porky is sooo scared of his own super good luck he’s in the fetal position? What a fucking baby!

in my experience there's very little sabotage required, the chatbots aren't actually good for much. see: https://www.wheresyoured.at/i-will-never-respect-a-website/

some people think they're good at coding but I haven't seen it. they make a lot of code but a lot of it is wrong, and you've still got (optimistically) the same number of engineers as before to review the output. building the scaffolding to get something useful out of coding agents is time-consuming, the results are brittle, and your chatbot or agent framework vendor can break it at any time.

the only unalloyed wins for llms that I've been able to find are:

  • scripting tasks that require image recognition
  • language translation

even 30b local models are very, very good at these.

I'm sure it doesn't have anything to do with things to which the suggested article "CEO of AI Company says Gen Z needs to get ready for 30% Unemployment" would allude

So this is the modern version of the Luddites destroying looms and stuff, right?

I think it's closer to AI rollouts being abject failures because the technology is nowhere capable enough to justify the cost, so the MBA's the fucked up their businesses are now trying to blame the workers. The tech can't be bad, it's the Zoomers

Yes and no. Yes in the sense that the envisioned future has no place for them. No in the sense that industrial textile manufacturing actually increased the productive output of society as a whole.
