Altman’s remarks in his tweet drew an overwhelmingly negative reaction.
“You’re welcome,” one user responded. “Nice to know that our reward is our jobs being taken away.”
Others called him a “f***ing psychopath” and “scum.”
“Nothing says ‘you’re being replaced’ quite like a heartfelt thank you from the guy doing the replacing,” one user wrote.
AI is absolutely not here to stay. This kind of nonsense needs to be nipped in the bud. The capital investment for ai simply can’t be recouped without major fantastical leaps in business.
The revenue coming in is a shell game. The investment numbers simply can’t be recouped without being more expensive than actual people.
So yeah. It absolutely can go away.
Lmfao and computers are just for nerds
Edit: OpenAI, Anthropic, etc can all die, but LLMs are not. You can run a local model.
Now I completely agree with the hype train is completely out of control and its a monetary bubble, but the tool itself is not going away.
Edit2: I think the dotcom bubble is a good analogy, the underlying idea of the internet and all it can do and online ordering and such was solid, just an insane amount of hype on top that simply couldn’t be reached at that time. But now, the biggest companies ever are mainly internet/tech companies.
Computers are input-output devices. You put things into a computer and it does what you tell it to do.
LMM’s do not do this they just give you a facsimile of what it believes you want.
LMM’s will not go away but their functionality is extremely limited, as has been proven by it’s failure to ‘change business forever.’
And no, ‘but the tech isn’t there’ isn’t an argument right now. This is economics. The investment for it’s current capabilities are far outsized, and there will be a massive contraction.
