Like, no shit the plagiarism machine that cannot create anything truly novel and can only regurgitate other people’s already existing work can’t replace professionals. I legitimately hope all of these companies go under.
Oh, and now you need a new fucking degree to learn how to ‘optimize your token usage with well crafted prompts the machine can understand’ otherwise you’ll burn through the energy Cleveland uses in a year, and end up costing the company millions.
Dumbest fucking bubble so far other than tulips and beanie babies
Thing is, they CAN replace “professionals” — which is 80% of the population. They won’t replace the original thinkers, of which there are relatively few.
And most original thinkers aren’t feeling threatened by AI, as they can figure out something new to do.
I mean, I remember college. I remember how many people graduated without an original thought in their heads, focused only on getting the credentials to land their dream job. Those are the people generative AI is coming for.
Has it made life more difficult? Yes. Is it a magic wand that will make companies rich without human investment? Absolutely not. At the end of the day, it’s just making the baseline of human knowledge accessible to the highest bidders, with a bit of randomness and sycophancy thrown in. Which is a step up from confident BS with a bit of randomness and sycophancy thrown in.

And that all the vibecoding they do instead will eventually turn their whole product into an unmanageable mess which cannot be salvaged.

No it’s dumber. Beanie babies at least left you with a little doll kids could enjoy.
In some companies, ‘optimize your token usage’ means using as many tokens as possible.
Indeed.
“AI is good” became “Good employees use AI” became “The more AI the better” became “The more tokens used the better the employee.”
What’s incredible is that none of these are self-evidently true premises, but rich C-suite aliens managed to buy into the entire illogical chain.
Two things…
Is…is Cleveland known for high energy usage? I don’t get the reference.
Tulips had a bubble? I’m so confused.

Ah, it happened in 1634. That’s why I hadn’t heard of this. I wasn’t born yet for a few more years.
Damn whipper snappers
Go for the flowers, stay for the etymology of fictional country names
TIL the two countries in The Princess Bride are both named after a Dutch currency
I think he just picked a decently big town as an example, and Dutch tulips were the very first stock craze.
The area is known for causing the 2003 blackout, but that was really due to the heat that day.
