Again, market is hot. Don't listen to the doom and gloom, stay the course.
Now you just making up stuff. It's ok to say the market is trash right now.
:heh:


I lost my software engineer job in May and have taken up welding. I'm happy to leave the tech industry — AI has changed it.​

I’m not a tech guy. There’s too much inconsistency with people on these jobs. Some say get in, some say AI taking everything. I don’t know wtf is the real option

The tech job market just tends to have huge boom and bust cycles. Right now it's a bust cycle but things can change overnight. During the pandemic you could've doubled your yearly salary.

AI is hype, when you get to the nitty gritty there’s a lot of shyt that needs to be smooved out before becoming a viable product. I believe we’ll be saturated with ai slop long before it becomes viable.

I’m really waiting for a massive cyber attack which affects multiple companies because they’re all using ai, which is spitting back the same jargon.

My company is trying to roll out an LLM to execs and shyt is a hallucination machine. I keep saying ChatGPT ain’t done yet why do we think we can do a better and faster job :lolbron:

It will be the real deal. But today it's just not there yet. 5 years from now will probably be a different story. but if you thinking about getting into tech, I wouldn't let AI scare you from starting a career in tech. just be mindful of the area you decide to get into

OpenAI is charging at least $10 million per client for its enterprise AI consulting services​

@null tell me this isn’t the biggest confirmation that openai is a grift :russ:

do companies train users? by rolling out do you mean they pay openai for a fine-tuned version?

consultancies charge a lot but the bottom line is bottom line gains.

i understand their (LLMs) roles in programming and other skilled professions, as a productivity accelerator, but not as a packaged client facing product.

it is probably a crisis of workable business applications relative to the hype.

My department is the data org for the company. We have a number of master data assets that essentially are used to run the company. They want to use LLMs essentially to replace data analysts. The problem is our data can be complex and nuanced depending on the use case, and by definition execs are usually general and not specific. End result is way too much hallucination and honestly if they keep pushing to roll it out will cause us to lose some credibility
