Movie director: ‘Because of AI, I no longer need actors anymore’

Film producer: ‘Because of AI, I no longer need writers and directors anymore’

AI Companies ‘Because of AI, I no longer need movie studios anymore’

Public: ‘Because of AI, I no longer need to bother with movies anymore’

🙁

Oracle completely missed the jump to cloud and, like Informatica or SAS, it’s been outcompeted by the likes of Microsoft, Google, Snowflake and Amazon for years now.

But hey, that’s not going to go down well with the shareholders, so just say you’re cutting jobs because you’re streamlining your business through the marvels of AI…

That said, who exactly are the people that are being let go? I can imagine the old guard still working at ‘their’ company, but firing young engineers hardly seems like a winning strategy

Are you suggesting OpenAI and others like it might actually be…

…overvalued?! 🫢

Not just a security disaster, but a disaster for performance, testing, lifecycle management etc.

I don’t think people realize just how amazingly stupid it is to outsource your core business to an LLM, unless your software company was a get rich quick scheme to begin with (which is surprisingly common btw).

Not a programmer myself, but I don’t believe for a second that LLM’s will replace programmers.

Altman’s bullshitting on social media is just marketing. Don’t believe for a second that this guy actually speaks truth or even knows what he’s talking about.

However, I do believe that a lot of executives are gullible enough to fall for this vibe-coding scam and kill their business. I also believe we’re going to see a tsunami of racketeers selling broken products.

Conspiracy theory? It’s not, it’s absolutely true. But they left out the bit about the quasi-alliance between big tech and right-wing extremists.

Tech bro’s want to keep their revenue streams, techno-fascists want to remove privacy barriers that stop them from training AI with your personal data and actual fascists want to crack down on public speech and dissidents.

The political right in both the US and EU are continuously working to remove privacy and surveillance restrictions under the auspices of free markets and innovation.
