Technical Sales Vs Sales
One’s an engineer with something to sell. The other is a grifter.
$ cat file1 > output_file
$ cat file2 >> output_file
$ cat file3 >> output_file
I’m sorry!
Yeah! It’s also Emacs
C-x C-s wtf!
Software engineering doesn’t treat failure anywhere near important enough for me to consider it proper engineering. Bugs are expected, excused and waived, which for anything critical just isn’t acceptable in my opinion.
Is software still useful? … Sure.
Millions did. It’s just that after a while the advantages stopped being convincing and the trend reversed. If the same thing happens here, expect to go jobless for a while until you’re needed again.
This is how AI is a threat to humanity. Not because it will choose to act against us, but because people will trust what it says without question and base huge decisions on faulty information.
…because Tesla had already made the mistake of over promising with the “autopilot” name?
So Nvidia (or Intel or AMD) told you that you need to AI to stay competitive. Not only that, but you needed a bespoke solution. Not the toy version out on the net every can get access to.
Strangely enough, they have some wonderful products coming to market which would be just what you need to build a large training network capable of injesting all your company data. They’d be happy to help you on this project.
All they had to do to get you to drop your guard was invite you by name to a “closed talk”.
Who do they think will be using the AI?
Well that’ll be junior developers, until they get hauled over the coals for producing highly repetitive code rather than refactoring out common themes.
That’s a big fucking “if”
