Wired tried to put out a defence of tech and the result is incoherent drivel. See for yourself.

How do you all suppose the Great Bullshit Implosion is going to interact with our incoming US government? When it becomes clear that the money is running out, will OpenAI be able to talk the Trump government into bailing them out, or will the fash kick them when they’re down, since tech will be a nice fat scapegoat for the economy hitting the shitter?

Kicking them whilst they're down would be an easy win when "the cruelty is the point" is your unofficial motto, and there's plenty of anti-tech sentiment for Trump to work with. And, of course, they're a piss-easy scapegoat - AFAIK tech's managed to piss off both political wings here.

He's probably gonna kick them whilst they're down.

This is a malpractice lawsuit waiting to happen. And probably a product liability lawsuit, if this LLM's hallucinations lead to someone getting hurt.

A lawsuit that convinces the public and investors that LLMs are a dead end will kill most LLM companies.

To engage in some shameless self-promo, it'll probably destroy the concept of AI - the bubble's made "AI" synonymous with "LLMs and slop generators" in the public eye, so if LLMs get declared a dead end, AI as a whole will probably be written off alongside it.

Glad I could be of help.

From the looks of things, that's how their business model works.

What can I say - I saw solid ammo for some machine-gun flow, and gave it a good throw.

In other news, someone caught a former NFT artist using AI. Not shocked in the slightest an NFT grifter jumped on the AI train.

That's a car I'd key guilt free
