    Translation: “Please help us justify our choices to our board. They want to know why we YOLO’d billions into making our users hate us.”

    Stop calling LLMs ‘AI’, there’s nothing intelligent about regurgitating statistically luke-warm refried Reddit threads.

      Who needs separate apps when you can just tell copilot what you want and it can put the slop straight into your trough?

    “People don’t want our product and we’re in danger of failure, wahhh” -capitalist oligarch

    Something something free market dynamics something something. Oh wait, they only believe in that when it means deregulating, but if it means letting their company fail then all of a sudden everyone else has a responsibility to carry weight for them?

    Privatized profits and socialized losses. Damn greedy crooks.

      That’s right. He bought $TRUMP so we get to bail out their shitty company when AI “boom” implodes on itself. Banana republic go brrrr

      Such a waste.

        It would be really funny if the whole world decides to dump its US treasury bonds all at once, so that when the AI bubble does burst the US has nothing with which to bail out the tech companies responsible, and the rest of the world doesn’t have to share the brunt of the fall…

    Maybe build something useful that solves a real problem?

    I cant believe the CEO of a company as large as MS would fall for “if you build it, they will come” like some kind of noob. Any entrepreneur knows PMF is king.

      That’s the problem. For now at least, we’re at the end of “new tech make line go up”. Crypto wasn’t it, neither were NTFs, LLMs are no different. All the low hanging fruit was picked a while back so they’re stuck trying to make us believe that there’s a Next Big Thing just around the corner when, at best, there’s some fairly niche and difficult to monetize tech requiring vast resources to work.

    Maybe WHO could declare a mental health emergency and mandate a lockdown and minimum 8 hours per day of AI use. And ban references to ‘slop’ - It’s really bad for the mental health of the billionaires when they hear their scam referred to as ‘slop’.
