Enshittification continues.

After the Ashkenazi data leak, I deleted my data with them. Never sharing that again.

Speed run to bankruptcy.

I would argue that they moved to LLMs because they had run out of ideas on actually improving cellphones. It wasn’t that they were distracted by them. They are trying to distract us because they need to cell new phones every year and nothing they’ve come up with is really justifying shelling out $1200 for a phone that’s virtually the same as the previous 3-5 iterations.

Experts in the field.

I also work in the industry. In particular I work in data analytics consulting. It’s all hype to sell consulting hours and compute.

AGI is not in reach. We need to stop this incessant parroting from tech companies. LLMs are stochastic parrots. They guess the next word. There’s no thought or reasoning. They don’t understand inputs. They mimic human speech. They’re not presenting anything meaningful.

What a dystopian nightmare we live in right now. Remember when politicians told us we have choices in our healthcare? I guess it says something that insurance CEOs are so hated that they need armed body guards and we’re so happy about “all our choices”.

I don’t think they’re mature. I think they’re just monopolized to the point where they don’t need to innovate at all. And I don’t see this as a net positive because these companies are so gigantic that they will drive down salaries and benefits for the rest of the middle sized and smaller sized companies. The other problem is that any company that gets this big now has the purchasing power to eliminate competition further cornering the talent pool and the tech market. These guys are the new oil barons of our time and their oil is our data. Not sure how to see this as anything but negative.

Yes. I try to buy local.

We participate in it with stock purchases. We voted for politicians that have systematically broken down American society this way.

It’s pretty clear that billionaire owners of publicly traded companies will do whatever is needed to continue the “number goes up” philosophy of American capitalism. It’s the rot that underlies the whole economy. This isn’t to excuse Zuckerberg but this is America as a whole. The need to increase profits takes priority over bucking fascism, pulling back on vitriolic public discourse, stuffing hyped AI products into every crevice of tech, and pursuing monopolistic business practices. It’s all baked in. And it makes everything worse. No one is attempting to address which is why America is absolutely doomed to collapse. No one is willing to even have the conversation about corporate control/influence of government as well as the philosophy of delivering shareholder value.

No fucking way.

Maury determined that this was a lie.

All of it is. Or pushing copilot into all Microsoft products like anyone is using this shit.

This is the danger of Ai that Elon Musk and Sam Altman warned us about.

lol. I mean. It was inevitable considering every other shit meta product.
