Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Good, it'll be the new dot com bubble. I'm tired of tech bullshit

Could it be because they're centering technology that's inherently unreliable? GPT is just a guessing machine

Is it because it doesn’t work and can’t work for the always-fictional magical Candyland of Tomorrow where workers are all AI and all the companies who fired everyone because they blew their money on magic beans are going to crash horribly in an inferno of enshittification?

Huh.

Don't sleep on "they have identified neither a problem or a solution" to build a project around even if the technology worked like they want it to.

I really hate it that I already see in my mind the linkedin types going like "80% of AI projects fail—how you need to sleep in the office 7 days of a week to reach the 20%". I mean Y Combinator used to take pride on the fact that over 90% of startups fail, do you have what it takes to be a ten percenter??

That cold shiver running down your spine once you start on a project, and you realize how much data you need to train the models, then realizing you have no idea how to get any of it, and you have to go into production before the big trade show/analyst report deadline. mwah
