How stupid do you have to be to believe that only 8% of companies have seen failed AI projects? We can't manage this consistently with CRUD apps and people think that this number isn't laughable? Some companies have seen benefits during the LLM craze, but not 92% of them. 34% of companies report that generative AI specifically has been assisting with strategic decision making? What the actual fuck are you talking about?

....

I don't believe you. No one with a brain believes you, and if your board believes what you just wrote on the survey then they should fire you.

Hacker News was silencing this article outright. That's typically a sign that its factual enough to strike a nerve with the potential CxO libertarian [slur removed] crowd.

If this is satire, I don't see it. Because i've seen enough of the GenAI crowd openly undermine society/the environment/the culture and be brazen about it; violence is a perfectly normal response.

What happened to HN? I have now heard HN silencing cetain posts multiple times. Is this enshittification?

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 34 points 4 months ago (1 children)

HN is run by a VC firm, Y Combinator. One of its largest supporters is OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Do the math.

I want to confirm this. Hacker News is nothing like it used to be and is approaching the cliff of "group think" narrator, the opposite of Entrepreneurship.

Fascinating, I am not surprised at all.

Even beyond AI, some of the implicit messaging has got to strike a nerve with that kind of crowd.

I don't think this is satire either, more like a playful rant (as opposed to a formal critique).

"If something is silenced, then that must mean it is right" is a pretty bad argument. There are genuinely good reasons to ban something. Being unnecessarily aggressive can be one.

I'm libertarian, I'm against this. I'm also against blockchain scams.

My ideas on digital currencies and something like artificial intelligence are simply an extension of the usual ancap\panarchy ideas. It's actually a very good test for any libertarian you meet - they'll usually agree that a "meta-society" consisting of voluntary exterritorial jurisdictions (which can be anything from crack-smoking ancap tribes to solarpunk communes), with some overarching security system to protect those jurisdictions from being ignored by somebody well-armed, is good, then you just have to ask why the systems they like for currencies and this are clearly manifestations of a different ideology.

What. When did we start censoring shit on lemmy.

Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean by that. The person I replied to had “[slur removed]” in their comment, they’re on lemmy.ml

[–] awesome_lowlander@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh that. Yeah lemmy.ml has had a swear filter since day 1. In the early days it wasn't even optional I think, all the servers had it

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hm. I had no idea. Interesting. Isn’t lemmy.ml the lemmy grad sister instance? Like, they’re commies?

[–] awesome_lowlander@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Yep. Just another example of their 'free speech' principles at work

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

[slur removed] was my choice.
