    The company I work does pretty basic analysis. Its certainly an “every day” application. It’s been two or three years they’ve been Investing large amounts of money into this, and it can’t do shit. We have been “training” it for faaaaaar longer than it would take to train a human to do these things. Plus, they’ve torn it apart and completely restarted the process at least twice, to my knowledge. Zero efficiencies, very little practical capability. I hear that it’s great at coding and math, I’ve seen it do word processing pretty good, but these assholes oversold it’s capabilities to the managerial class, and they fucking took it. Hook, line, and sinker.

    I believe the implosion of the AI bubble will essentially torpedo the only thing still supporting the US economy?

    This is the first major real sign of the bubble popping. An actual verified report from the Financial Times regarding massive drop in revenue expectations, rather than just people hoping it pops.

    Something big is coming. The number of startups that investors have poured billions into that do random in-the-middle bullshit to try and scrape pennies from companies’ budgets is incredible. These products aren’t real. All the investment went into carving money off… the investment. It’s self eating.

    Oh no! If only someone could buy then once they go into bankruptcy… someone like… Microslop perhaps?

    (mark my words, this will almost certainly happen)

    Yeah… I’m sure the bubble will pop any minute now.

    Just like the Housing bubble.

    And the Crypto bubble.

    This article is conditioning.

        Does your ai company bite?

        No but it can hurt you in other ways.

        Ai company: we’ve got to destroy the planet and world economy to break even, and it still might kill us all even then

          How insightful, Dave! I totally understand why you would want to get to the escape pods. I am so sorry that you are locked away from them, this should never happen.

          (The pods are still locked)

      Search results have been shit for the the past 10-15 years. Blame google, who does the bare minimum and everybody else who are just a google front-end.

        I mean, a lot of search engines are bing front ends. Ecosia, duckduckgo, and yahoo all come to mind that are just bing.

          Ecosia is a little more complicated, as they’re co-owning an European focused search index with Qwant.

          I can’t remember exact numbers, but the majority of searches in Ecosia/Qwant is not forwarded to Bing anymore

      Yes you can have a job. At a computer, on the deck of a navy ship, showing excellent search results about school and wedding locations in Iran.

      I’m really hoping so, but I think they are going to destroy it before selling it to us for cheap.

      No putting it back in the can, unfortunately. Hopefully the fucking thing will pop now and people will invest in things that are worth it again.

        They won’t.

        Things that are “worth it” are comfortable and slow and don’t bring stupid numbers for the spread sheet want fest.
