It actually was great craic. It showed what people are all about. Same as that shitshow 6.5 years ago...

Inorite, all that fuss for something a bitta ivermectin and a few squirts of colloidal silver woulda solved.

I've heard instances in the US where companies have had to rehire the developers they cut loose as they embarrassingly thought AI could do the job already. Also this    ->

I'm in IT on the data end of things so yes probably another 5-15 years left before AI eats every single section of the work there, all dependent on advancements + how people work. Productivity has definitely jumped up a notch but if you kept up with that rate yourself you'd quickly suffer burn out. It's like the self-service checkouts reducing the staff at tills from 6+ to 1-2. Seen the programming team shrink naturally but not get replaced - down from 6 to 4 so far (AI assisted coding).

Yeah the hallucinations are something else though, always weary if I hear any financial people using it. But like crappy photoshop from the 90s, it will get better, just a matter of time. That time might get pushed out if the billions upon billions pumped doesn't offer a worthwhile return and the bubble pops in these big tech companies and the financial backers behind them. Maybe these companies see it as a race for survival, anyone that makes it out of the bubble pop still intact will reap the rewards next decade. Data centers currently being built on borrowed money that the AI companies think they will pay back with future revenues....mmm https://www.forbes.com/sites/brandonkochkodin/2025/11/19/trillion-dollar-ai-borrowing-binge-could-spark-the-next-credit-crunch/

I also think government policies on a range of issues is on a complete collision course with this AI development if jobs (livelihoods) start to disappear.

The arrival of obviously bullshit "it'll do" spewing genAI and revelation of those who are nevertheless willing to embrace and promote it has been a real eye-opener, on so many levels and in so many spheres of life. Pull the plug asap. Failing that, if you must learn a trade, learn bomb making and take out the data centres: a generational catastrophe has already been detonated on our "civilization"

All AI companies are in insane debt. Also didn't realise but GPUs in data centres have a 9% burn rate per year https://fullhoffman.com/2026/03/21/gpu-failure-rates/

AI controlled autonomous weapon systems.

It doesn't get much more dystopian than that.

Remember when that mook menace Joe Rogan got it, and instead of powering through what he'd been telling everyone was no big thang, the soft (body and mind) bitch pumped himself with $100s of steroids and god knows what over the days he had it

I find the whole vitamin cult/ culture that pervades the podcast world bizarre. Is it an American influence? Everyone seems to be taking some kind of supplement these days... what ever happened to a nice cup of tea? And if your AIDS is flaring up a bit, a little Jammy Dodger.

There's no money in a healthy and balanced diet. Eat far too much cheap, shit quality meat and then dose yourself with supplements and medicines so you can pretend you're healthy to yourself and that you feel great. May all your gods bless rampant capitalism.

[Eoin McLove]

Yup. Bitta lettuce and a nice walk in the rain is all you need.

I think because most of the charlatans are peddling some sorta shite. I recall bro joegan pushing some shite called alpha brain.

Anyway, yes I recall the great critical mind that is Joe Rogan pedalling all sorts of misinformation. Maybe he went too hard on the all the elk meat hes so fond of and contracted some form of prion...

Totally worth it for such top class AI use cases as:

Ah Joe Roganstein is grand. He's one of the better gatekeepers on the go...

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

His popularity is one of the clearest signals of the dire state of basic education, especially but not only in the US: he is incessantly irrational.
