AI feels like a real mania, a genuine collective break from reality among the ruling class. They might as well be pouring billions of dollars into an attempt to replace all jobs and knowledge with a large bronze idol of Dagon.
I was speaking to a Microsoft dev yesterday, and, in his words, "we are now being required to include AI in every product, whether it makes sense to or not."
A certain technology is being prescribed, often over the protests of the people who best understand how it works. It's buck wild.
Our company, which does something specific & unique (patents/govt. sanctioned), was asked in writing to explain how we planed on utilizing “AI & Machine Learning” in our upcoming project. I had to craft an acceptable response that only gently implied “WTF do you think we’re doing here, exactly?”
