Content warning: Ed Zitron on the unfeasible business model of so-called AI

"I dislike the attempt to gaslight people into swearing fealty to a sickly and frail psuedo-industry where everybody but NVIDIA and consultancies lose money."

Content warning: real-life effects of LLMs in tech workplaces

Fascinating collection of firsthand experiences, gathered by Brian Merchant.
From a comment:
"I can’t help but notice that stories aren’t “I lost my job because AI is able to do it better”, they are “I lost my job because upper management is hype-pilling and thinks AGI is around the corner”. Which is a bad thing, but if we suppose for a moment that AGI is not around the corner, and AI is a bubble? Those jobs will be back with vengeance once technical debt catches up. ... when your codebase is now an AI-written mess without documentation and tests and diffused knowledge in heads of those who have written it, it will collapse sooner or later."
