It’s 2 in the morning, and you’re reading an incident channel: checkout is failing, orders are stuck, and support is starting to field angry messages from customers who can’t get past payment. After quite a bit of digging through the logs, you find the cause. It was a rejected payment call buried deep in thousands of entries. And you’re left thinking: this is exactly the kind of grunt work an AI agent should be able to take off your hands…

      Sure, and the existence of randomness itself is debatable. “Unreliable as fuck” could be a better description.

      “AI” as in machine learning to do, whatever, audio transcription or translation, recognising bird noises and whatnot, sure. It’s a tool, it’s not very useful yet but it could be in specific contexts. That kind basically stopped being developed a few years ago.

      Now generative “AI” and LLMs? Those are garbage. Anyone with a different opinion is deluded. Destroying the world and humanity for the sake of mass-producing trash slop? There is no “time and place” for that other than never and nowhere.

      And like, for fuck’s sake, anyone with a brain knows that when all the billionaires suddenly bet on something, it’s not something good.

      We went through the blockchain, through NFTs, now it keeps on getting worse and worse and yet people must be becoming dumber and dumber for falling for it again and again.
