It’s their wet dream to be able to get rid of all their workers.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Man, sunk cost fallacy is really running rampant in silicon valley.
It's not sunk cost fallacy at all. They see this as well worth the investment. They're making people put time into training their AI models. People are basically training the clueless intern who will take their job entirely soon. AI is done with training on all material that exists online. Now you have to force people to engage with it to give it more training.
Always is.
It may be slower, but they think it is cheaper, thereby making it more profitable. These idiots only see short term profit and don't care about the long term health of the company or the economy.
Terminator 2 warned us that the future was humanity enslaved to robots.
What they didn't tell us was how stupid the whole thing started.
I hope they go all in and then implode when the ai bubble pops.
AI is expensive, slow and ineffective, but by Bezos bald head we'll use it!
Bezos is right Amazon has to adopt AI or die trying.
Please let it be the latter.
