Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

It's not care. Its want. We don't want AI.
FR I think more people actively dislike it, which is a form of care.
Depends on the implementation.
Just about everyone I know loves how iPhones can take a picture and readily identify a plant or animal. That's actually delightful. Some AI tech is great.
Now put an LLM chatbox where people expect a search box, and see what happens... yeah that shit sucks.
As I biologist I'd like to correct your sentence: "iPhones can take a picture and pretend to sometimes manage to get close to identifying a plant"
It sucks at identification too
Hotdog or not hotdog
Whenever I ask random people who are not on IT, they either don't know about it or they love it.
That's a boring perspective fuck you for sharing.
Thats an interesting perspective thanks for sharing.
I work in IT and have recently been having a lot of fun leveraging AI in my home lab to program things as well as doing audio\video generation (which is a blast honestly.) So.. I mean, I think it really depends on how it's integrated and used.
"I work in IT" says the rando, rapaciously switching between support tickets in their web browser and their shadow-IT personal browser
"I've been having a lot of fun" continues the rando, in a picture-perfect replica of every other fucking promptfan posting the same selfish egoist bullshit
"So… I mean, I think it really depends on how it’s integrated and used" says thee fuckwit, who can't think two words beyond their own fucking nose
mmmm, yes, being told what I don't know... oh yes, that's the stuff. best kind of thing to read after the kind of week I've had!
look, I'll do you the disfavour of giving you an actually detailed reply
you know exactly fucking nothing about me, about what I do, and about my competencies. if you did just a liiiiiiittle bit of work you might get an inkling, but: I know you didn't, and I know you don't.
that's not a judgement, that's just fact.
trying to flippantly rage at my derision of your shitty post.... I mean, points for effort? but.... be more interesting...? you're factory-line-identical outrage, and it's boring
para (2): sure, I made some inferred guesses. still don't think I'm wrong (and your little tagline ragefest there isn't helping, either)
paras (1) and (3): I lul. once again, if you knew anything about me...
but sure, go off queen. I'm sure your emanated bilge will be received with vim and verve.
Speak for yourself.
