Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Enterprise has no idea what to do with generative AI. This means it’s early days, and not that AI is a bubble (pivot-to-ai.com)

I've also been involved with projects that were retro-activly renamed to AI. Implemented a new oldskool search algorithm? That's AI now! Simple decision tree with static weights? AI!

Nobody wants investors or customers to think you're doing a bad job not putting AI in stuff, even if it doesn't really help or isn't a use case for anything related to AI.

To be fair, simple decision trees with static weights used to be AI. Look, I learned how to do A* search from an AI textbook. AI is just algorithms with delusions.
