      I thought you were playfully conflating google with MS given they’re equally fucked in 2025, but I looked this up anyway and holy damn.

    Sam Altman told reporters at a private dinner in August that investors are “overexcited” about AI models and that “someone” will lose a “phenomenal amount of money.”

    That feels almost like taunting.

    I never pay attention to the $10,000 or so I have left in my inheritance. Long story, I get $1,000 a year to save taxes until it’s gone, or something?

    Looked today. 5.4% is in NVIDIA, top stock in my micro portfolio.

    Quite telling that these guys are trying to get ahead of the crash, “We told you so!” Reminds me of the GOP voting to release the Epstein files. “I was on the right side of this all along!”

    Especially the users. How likely is it that removing the AI integration would be easy or painless. Speaking from someone who had a third of a website cancelled due to database issues (never fucking work for, or on behalf of, fruit of the loom. Pants on head ret@rded, the lot of em.), you can’t just start ripping out code.

    I think Apple will get out clean. They are trading some of that Google default search engine $$ for renting Google’s AI. Amazingly, Microsoft has pulled way back on AI investment as well.

        They are still in way too much. Every time I go into an Apple Store they try to ram their “Apple Intelligence” down my throat.

        Apple had been investing in traditional ML and DL models but all of a sudden Open AI sold LLM as the next incarceration of Jarvis.

        Now, we have a bunch of users who got sold to that idea, and believe “AI” has arrived whilist tech wise all that has happened is nothing but orchestration.

        Though there has been no tangible growth at the llm side of things it impacted artists by popularising the already good image generation models this completely destroying the scope to consult the impacted stakeholders or access the safety impacts. Hate these growth (shareholder value) chasing capitalists

        Edit: this is not to say I like Apple, I was just randomly ranting
