It's love and hate relationship with AI. All engineers I know in tech are bashin...

You can simultanously believe that AI:

* Is massively overhyped by certain persons and companies, and

* Is both interesting and has loads of promise, so is worth working on in your own time

They aren't contradictory at all.

Actually, I think they are the opposite of contradictory. This tech is dumb, funny, new, and maybe it has potential in the right (low-stakes) applications.

Meanwhile, I dunno, I have some begrudging admiration for the folks getting rich selling premium GEMMs, but eventually they are going to piss off all their investors and cause a giant mess. Like good luck guys, get that money, but please don’t take us all down with you.

Pretty classic hacker behavior. "This sucks. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go make it better because everyone else working on it is an idiot and I, alone, see the True Way Forward."

The ship is sinking, and we're swimming towards the iceberg.
