There will be no reactionary restoration of the pre-internet past.

It still has to go through peer review, so I fully expect one (1) accepted paper with the title "Large Generative AI Models in Telecommunications - What? No. Why? No!"

Hit me up if you want to collaborate on one lol

Dunno, I disagree. It's quite impossible for me to put myself in the shoes of a person who wouldn't see a difference between shouting at an INANIMATE FUCKIN' OBJECT vs at an actual person. As if saying "fuck off" to ChatGPT made me somehow more likely to then say "fuck off" to a waiter in a restaurant? That's sociopath shit. If you need to "built the habit of being respectful" you have some deeper issues that should be solved by therapy, not by being nice to autocomplete.

I'm a programmer since forever, I spend roughly 4h every day verbally abusing the C++ compiler because it's godawful and can suck my balls. Doesn't make me any more likely to then go to my colleague and verbally abuse them since, you know, they're an actual person and I have empathy for them. If anything it's therapeutic for me since I can vent some of my anger at a thing that doesn't care. It's like an equivalent of shouting into a pillow.

Don’t y’all get tired of being wrong sometimes? Maybe try to learn from the past.

Fondly remembering all the times we were wrong. Ah, remember that one time we were totally wrong about the metaverse not being the future? Oh, oh, or the classic "cryptocurrencies are just a scam" talk we had to walk back so many times. Damn, good thing we didn't call out WeWork for being a money sink or we'd be looking pretty fucking stupid now!

Welcome to the wonderful XXI century where our innovations in communication technology and financial instruments allow a hyperoptimised economy where two tweets are more than enough to cause billion-dollar shifts on the market. Completely organic and based on solid fundamentals I am assured by the same people that assured me of this in 2000 and 2008.

"Our product that costs metric kilotons of money to produce but provides little-to-no value is extremely difficult to price" oh no, damn, ye, that's a tricky one

Wait but he controls the price, not the subscriber number?

Like even if the issue was low subscriber number (which it isn't since they're losing money per subscriber, more subscribers just makes you lose money faster), that's still the same category of mistake? You control the price and supply, not the demand, you can't set a stupid price that loses you money and then be like "ah, not my fault, demand was too low" like bozo it's your product and you set the price. That's econ 101, you can move the price to a place where your business is profitable, and if such a price doesn't exist then maybe your biz is stupid?

If anything that sounds like an indictment? Like, the current models are so incredibly fucking bad that we could achieve the same with three bits and a ham sandwich
