And I for one welcome our new AI overlords!

Seriously though... I think most uses of LLMs are pretty stupid, but it seems like we're in the bubble and the only way people can continue to make money is by doubling down on AI spending. Or at least that's the only way they think they can make money.

So... sorry for leaving you with that impression. Maybe the only way to get to the post AI hype world is to give AI companies everything they want so they fail faster.

"Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders!" ( see https://economicsociology.org/2014/10/07/yes-the-planet-got-... )

Does anyone deserve RAM though?





I was just pointing out the weirdness of AI bloat and complaint about application bloat....it's not irony...it's like, the zeitgeist.

lol. yes. I am behind the times complaining about app bloat. I should be complaining about LLM bloat. But I have enough bile in me to complain about both.

well, one of them just demands you get another 32GB stick of ram. The other wants you to pay for it's high voltage power lines, give it millions of gallons of water and provide zero benefits to the local community.

If bloat was given human form, it's definitely LLMs and their corporate financiers.
