What you’re disregarding is Covid era over hiring, higher interest rates, and the world wide tariffs that killed off the labor market. There was a downward trend well before OpenAI launched Chat and kicked off the LLM/AI hype train. There have been the most layoffs this year since 2020 on top of that.
You are correct. I do not see AGI happening. Technology does advance but we humans have limitations, as does the world we live in.
To me, it is just making the M7 stocks meme stocks. None of them have proven themselves yet. It is all just hype currently. Part of the reason for their layoffs is literally to refocus on AI, not because AI replaced their roles.
I question how this plays out longer term once interest rates are dropped and tariffs are likely struck down. I don’t see AI replacing many roles.
Yes but the hiring slowdown started well before LLMs became mainstream and the current labor market freeze occurred right after the tariffs were enacted. Currently, it seems to be an excuse for a poor labor market with some hope it just might pay off. However, it every study I’ve seen from MIT and Stanford, it has not materialized anywhere to be more efficient than workers or coming close to displacing people. Most CEOs are not exactly tech experts either.
Forgive my ignorance, where has AI (particularly the LLMs) proven to be useful and effective to the point of displacing workers? While I understand it has use cases (drug discovery, etc.) they usually add to what information experts add onto it. I don’t see this just displacing corporate roles. How do you see it?
Every single study I’ve seen, LLMs have not been proven to be effective. They still get things wrong, hallucinate and still need to be checked to verify they’re correct on any important work.
Wow— great statement. You really have a way with words. Would you like me to suggest another way for you to phrase that statement?
Completely gave up on the console wars thing too for AI. Such ridiculous leadership by Sadya
I’m not in India. These dweebs almost always have personal security nonetheless.

They’re not invincible. We’re not our ancestors. Look at this little dweeb. Is anyone really intimidated by him?
These people really think they’re invincible. It makes me laugh. There’s nothing special about them. I love how they think money makes them bulletproof or from an angry mob having their way with them.
Of course, the illegitimate Fed Soc ones will
Yeah I agree with you on the AI issue. It’s funny because they all try to pander like it’s supposed to benefit us but on Wall Street and to investors, their tone is all about how it disrupt regular people in the name of profit. So ridiculous lol
NYT is basically a corporation with their billionaire owners. They’ve allowed some pretty shitty people to write opinion articles. Although, they still have some pretty great journalism overall.
Yeah these corporations do not care at all and the lawsuits they get are almost always a joke
I really like maps and YouTube though. That is really the main things I struggle getting rid of. Maps not so much for navigation but for exploring local businesses and YouTube is a monopoly.
Even worse, they are literally all like this among the tech companies. They are all cancerous vermin.
Or when tech is in the hands of a select few vile men, it is becoming a net negative. It definitely is not for the public good.
This meme isn’t always true though. There’s plenty of men who are terrible people from abusers to narcissists to criminals who have no trouble getting laid. It might be increasing that they are not from higher education and knowledge among women… but it’s definitely not broadly applicable to all sexists, not even close.
Translation: “it’s time we go experience enshittification like most tech and social media companies.”
