I don't think Zitron has ever claimed AI to be a fad, at this point there's a cottage industry of people misrepresenting Ed Zitron to feel better about their own precarious financial predictions

> I've started to feel like Ed Zitron is actively hurting people I care about.

lmfao

that's nice i'm buying ten mac minis to run this

> bitcoin

so close! that is a commodity

> I know blaming everything on LLMs is in vogue right now; but this is much more to do with Microsoft very publically firing the QA department

A move no doubt encouraged by c-suites to demonstrate how effective LLMs are in the budget tally.

> I also would not describe them as appearing poorly read.

YOU come off as poorly read, so I wouldn't trust your judgement on this one, champ. "common trope" lmfao.

Don't worry, the writing is on the wall. Unless Trump cracks down on these novel chinese models, like Kimi, there's just no way for these companies to ever turn green. Either they swallow their losses and move on, or transform silicon valley into some sort of ultra-restricted state monopoly

Most of these can be accomplished by 2B models running on top-of-the-line consumer phones. That's the damning stuff! The real pale horse is HBR reporting that most people use chatbots to chat. Reasoning models are pointless for most people. LLM initiatives are seeking its wide adoption, at the same time, the business models collapse if they become too commoditized. The entire industry undermines itself.

you really expect hammers to spontaneously break?
