But Ed, They Said Something About Points of Growth- Silence! Any of these companies talking about "growth from AI" or "the jobs that AI will replace" or "how AI has changed their organization" are hand-waving to avoid telling you how much money these services are actually making them. If they were making good money and experiencing real growth as a result of these services, they wouldn't shut the fuck up about it! They'd be in your ear and up your ass hooting about how much cash they were rolling in! And they're not, because they aren't rolling in cash, and are in fact blowing nearly a hundred billion dollars each to build massive, power-hungry, costly data centers for no real reason. Don’t watch the mouth — watch the hands. These companies are going to say they’re seeing growth from AI, but unless they actually show you the growth and enumerate it, they are hand-waving.

35% of the value of the US stock market is the mag7, 19% of that is NVIDIA, and *42% OF NVIDIA'S REVENUE IS THE MAG7 BUYING GPUs*. Our god damn economy is supported by whether five companies buy more GPUs every quarter! This is insane!

I don't think most people contemplate quitting programming because of LLMs directly, but as a side effect of supply constraints from LLMs real or perceived impact on the dev job market. The discourse around LLMs for devs would be different if the job market was comparable to 2017-2019 for example

Also points to a lack of diversity, fostering an engineering monoculture

The United States Is About to Embark on a Terrifying Experiment in Mass Statelessness This scenario, until recently, might have read like a dystopian projection. But after the court’s decision on Friday, it is no longer hypothetical.

"For the child born this summer in Texas, whose parents receive no documents, whose name never appears in any system, and who grows up asking why she can’t go on field trips, apply for scholarships, or open a bank account, the consequences are not legal theory. They are her life."

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

Terrific explanation of what the companies eager to sell us AI are not saying

The bit about the antichrist and Greta Thunberg I found genuinely funny, but Peter Thiel is deeply, deeply unwell

Man, Peter Thiel is nutty as a fruit cake, it’s a bit concerning, really

“Trust destroying moment” — like LLMs are trustworthy in the first place

One of the best — and most succinct explanation for why LLMs can’t be trusted to give full and accurate answers

Do not rank, under any circumstance, rank Andrew Cuomo
