That “economy” is already falling apart. Subscriptions are down, services on “the cloud” are becoming less reliable, piracy is way up again, and major nations and companies are moving to alternatives.

Hell, DDR3 is making a comeback. All that is needed is one manufacturer to start making 15 year old tech again and bam, the house of cards falls.

What could a GPU cost? $5000?

And as the market moves the jobs away from the sort of low paying work those hungry coders end up flipping burgers or driving uber instead. The wages and expectations at the places like ubisoft make for only the very worst/desperate of devs apply. Its happening all over the tech industry, you make more doing almost anything else.

Yes, and to expand on my argument may I point out my functioning eyes.

Odd, I just kinda did do that. The process here is very clearly being used to try put a cooling effect on criticism, and the anti-SLAP rules only work if someone can afford to pay for litigation (another example of a flawed system).

Ha! Unlikely, but having a notepad program have automatic updates by default is just about dumb enough that I could see it.

Yeah, not like we are reading about how “According to the analysis provided by the security experts, the attack involved infrastructure-level compromise that allowed malicious actors to intercept and redirect update traffic destined for notepad-plus-plus.org.”

But maybe the endless need for autoupdates on everything (in this case N++) will be the end of secure software. Ironic.

Ah yes the old using legal processes to quash critics. Nothing to see here, just standard legal practice.

Maybe that was in an update.

But what about all the new and exciting features?! What if they come out with more letters, then who will be laughing? Likely still you but hey automagic programs are standard right?

THE LOOP MUST FLOW

See and this is why they are losing so much trust, even a child can tell you its 7, 8, 9, 10 and not 7, 8, 8.1, 10

What an odd thing to say.

Why would of all groups of people the SS would pop into their head, unprompted? Hmmmmm.

Great, so windows 9 is going to come out?

Setting a pile of money on fire is more profitable then openai. Like you can not physically shovel enough to come close to even a tiny amount of what openai goes though.

Oh they should really have a lemon party, and make sure to tell everyone about it.

Oh they can call it a sausage party, nothing less gay then sweaty, steaming, sausages.

MONORAIL! AI!

PwC

Ah, wonderful company that, if you like war crimes, tax crimes and just dastardly acts in general. Really the gold standard in corruption.

Sure, but how does that make anyone money? You saved time not reading, and your time is worth money sure, but not the untold amounts of money and infrastructure that AI has cost. Your place of work still has an angry client, and you still have the same issues with the rep but now with a risk of the LLM hallucinating something in the summery. Lets say you fire the rep for what was in the summery and it turns out they did not do whatever was said and you have a lawsuit (and I would hope some loss of sleep)? I think generative AI peaked at things without stakes like “Harry Squatter and the Chamber of Gains” and has just been a solution looking for a problem even since.

More to the point this was always going to end this way without a path to profit (I know a terrible term) OpenAI alone is losing something like $12 Billion a quarter, and although maybe ads will help their bottom line it will also make that final step into the sort of hell no one wants.
