My boss was talking about using AI agents for CI/CD processes. Like, I get using them to build CI/CD processes, but involving AI agents in the actual build process is ridiculously stupid. A representative from Microsoft specifically said in a training session to not use them that way so it's obviously not only my stupid ass boss.
it’s not just the retail investors holding the bag. It’s anyone with a retirement fund.
I was thinking retail investors --- whether individually or through an index fund --- covered both. If you have any control over your retirement funds though, you can use that control to get out of the stock market if you want. So it isn't anyone with a retirement fund, just nearly anyone with a retirement fund.
He didn't make it into the s&p 500. NASDAQ bent over and opened wide though.
Finally, after those investors decide it’s been a good run, they cash out and the bubble truly starts bursting.
This time they wasted so much money that they're trying to foist the bad investments on retail investors with overblown valuations and IPOs before cashing out.
Eh, not really, and it isn't really an argument but more of a lighthearted prediction.
I think the big question is whether or not the "frontier" models continue to be available and evolve, because the business model for running them seems very unsound.
I kinda hope the AI bubble busts, and that afterwards some of the efforts turn toward making open source models more performant and powerful.
I think in five years — if the tools manage to stick around — finding coders that can work without AI assistance will be like finding skilled assembler developers.
EDIT: Yep I'm definitely a bot because I typed an em dash. You can be a bot too on Ubuntu by hitting control+shift+u and then typing 2014 (the last year of semi-sanity in US politics).
It is a form of retail politics that appeals not to notions of the common good, as in prior waves of socialism, but to people’s narrow self-interest.
And what form of retail politics predicated it? Oh that's right, a type of politics for the narrow self-interests of <1% of the country. Lower my taxes! Cut me a tax break for my private jet! Give me a bail out! Protect my company!
