How stupid do you have to be to believe that only 8% of companies have seen failed AI projects? We can't manage this consistently with CRUD apps and people think that this number isn't laughable? Some companies have seen benefits during the LLM craze, but not 92% of them. 34% of companies report that generative AI specifically has been assisting with strategic decision making? What the actual fuck are you talking about?

....

I don't believe you. No one with a brain believes you, and if your board believes what you just wrote on the survey then they should fire you.

Oh my god this whole post is amazing, thought I'd share my favorite excerpt:

This entire class of person is, to put it simply, abhorrent to right-thinking people. They're an embarrassment to people that are actually making advances in the field, a disgrace to people that know how to sensibly use technology to improve the world, and are also a bunch of tedious know-nothing bastards that should be thrown into Thought Leader Jail until they've learned their lesson, a prison I'm fundraising for. Every morning, a figure in a dark hood7, whose voice rasps like the etching of a tombstone, spends sixty minutes giving a TedX talk to the jailed managers about how the institution is revolutionizing corporal punishment, and then reveals that the innovation is, as it has been every day, kicking you in the stomach very hard.

Where the fuck do I donate???????

Right as in the actual definition of the word, no political

Conforming with or conformable to justice, law, or morality.

In accordance with fact, reason, or truth; correct.

Fitting, proper, or appropriate.

I get that, didn't think it was a political meaning. Just seems like an iffy word to me personally, hard to put my finger on it.

Maybe since the inverse would be "wrong-think"?

It's not that commonly used these days (especially online?), I think the phrasing is a bit old school, but it's a totally legitimate phrase.

Fair enough, had never heard it before but that makes sense

English your second language? Phrases that seem common to natives may seem off to those who learned English later in life. 'Tis a silly language.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No I just suck at English apparently haha

No, you're correct, it's always a little suspect on usage. The kind of thing you only say when you're up on a high horse, fairly or not.
