I'm not sure why. I don't think it's access to capital, but I'd love to hear thoughts.

I feel bad for people who work at dystopian places where you can't just do the job, try to get ahead etc. It is set up to make people fail and play politics.
I wonder if the company is dying slowly but with AI hype qaand old good foundations keeping her stock price going.

As to the point of the article, is it just to say "People shouldn't hate LLMs"? My takeaway was more "This person's future isn't threatened directly so they just aren't understanding why people feel this way." but I also personally believe that, if the CEOs have their way, AI will threaten every job eventually.
So yeah I guess I'm just curious what the conclusion presented here is meant to be?

this reads like an ad for your project
It reads like it's AI-edited, which is deliciously ironic. (Protip: if you're going to use em—dashes—everywhere, either learn to use them appropriately, or be prepared to be blasted for AI—ification of your writing.)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
My creative writing teacher in college drilled the m dash into me. I can’t really write without them now
I think the presence of em dashes is a very poor metric for determining if something is AI generated. I'm not sure why it's so popular.
> Engineers don't try because they think they can't. This article assumes that AI is the centre of the universe, failing to understand that that assumption is exactly what's causing the attitude they're pointing to. There's a dichotomy in the software world between real products (which have customers and use cases and make money by giving people things they need) and hype products (which exist to get investors excite…
AI is not both of these things? There are no real AI products that have real customers and make money by giving people what they need?
> LLMs are a more substantive technology than blockchain ever was, but like blockchain, their potential has been greatly overstated.
What do you view as the potential that’s been stated?
Literally everyone I know is sick of AI. Sick of it being crowbar'd into tools we already use and find value in. Sick of it being hyped at us as though it's a tech moment it simply isn't. Sick of companies playing at being forward thinking and new despite selling the same old shit but they've bolted a chatbot to it, so now it's "AI." Sick of integrations and products that just plain do not fucking work . I wouldn't s…
Oh, I will happily get in your face and tell you your AI garbage sucks. I'm not afraid of these people, and you shouldn't be, either. Bring back social pressure. We successfully shamed Google Glassholes into obscurity, we can do it again. This shit has infested entire operating systems now, all so someone can get another billion dollars, while the rest of us struggle to make rent. It's made my career miserable, for s…
I'm all for shaming people who just link to ChatGPT and call their whatever thing AI powered. If you're actually doing some work though and doing something interesting, I'll hear you out.
