It's 2026 now.

@mttaggart moral engagement bait on fedi in the big 26 is crazy

@alicedotjpog That is absolutely what this is and everyone is aware. They're just really mad at genAI.

@mttaggart you gotta put in a little more effort than that, make like a like an exxagerated rant post about how ai fucked your dog killed your wife and impregnated your crops or some shit
make a david dees style edit of grok like eating a baby dont just say "if you hate ai boost me"

@mttaggart It's sad, because AI actually has some legitimate uses, but it's being completely ruined by the profit/hype machine

LLM chatbot? Cool

AI slapped on every single product being made right now, with absolutely no benefit? That's a bubble

@mttaggart

@mttaggart I want none lol

@mttaggart I am with you, bro. They're eating all ram market in available. Also crashing ram and CPU price of market. I hate them.

@da_667 @mttaggart *unless* they find a new sucker.... I mean investor. Or they bribe the orange... I mean get public bailout.

@mttaggart You have our support here at the Cyber Threat Resistance League.

@mttaggart I'm not quite as burn it to the ground as that. Like traditional ML, it will find a place it can be useful. Right now, it is EVERYWHERE, and that needs to stop.

@mms @da_667 @mttaggart At most that would be a bandaid solution. It's not profitable. It's not even close to profitable.

@adx @mttaggart I have to admit, I have started quoting "thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of the human mind" way more than I did in the previous decade.

@mttaggart
At this point I pretty much see people using so-called genAI as scabs crossing the picket line of the union of humans.

@mhkohne @da_667 @mttaggart

They#re not throwing around any actual money... it's a pyramid scheme.

Company A invests 100 million in company B
Company B invests 100 million in company C
Company C invests 100 million in company D
Company D invests 100 million in company A

Very little money is ever going to change hands, it's all announcements of investments they claim they plan to make.

This drives up market value, makes those at the top of those companies very rich... and it's all built on lies and marketing bullshit.

They buying up production of high bandwidth memory that hasn't been made, to go in AI-GPUs that haven't been made for data centres that haven't been built.

It's smoke and mirrors to cover up the fact that their snake oil is worthless.

Now if they focused on agentic AI instead of generative AI... they could have had a business model that would make them money.... just a tiny fraction of what these greedy ignorant wankers want. generative AI is worthless

@Anomnomnomaly @mhkohne @da_667 @mttaggart
Agentic AI is just generative AI generating and then executing API calls to do things with consequences. So, no thanks. I won't be giving an "agentic AI" my credit card.

@mttaggart I destroyed it long ago by renaming it degenerative "A.I." Once its output is ingested as training data, the marginal usefulness declines exponentially.

@mttaggart I asked AI to add an about page to an app I'm building today. It added the text Copyright 2025. I had to tell it it is 2026. This is a state of the art commercial AI coding tool (paid version).
