I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again

Every once in a while, you find a rare post that absolutely nails the general malaise you feel out in the world. This is that post, a wonderful take down of the AI insanity that's infecting workplaces the world over.

Most organizations cannot ship the most basic applications imaginable with any consistency, and you're out here saying that the best way to remain competitive is to roll out experimental technology that is an order of magnitude more sophisticated than anything else your I.T department runs, which you have no experience hiring for, when the organization has never used a GPU for anything other than junior engineers playing video games with their camera off during standup, and even if you do that all right there is a chance that the problem is simply unsolvable due to the characteristics of your data and business? 

The author's post Reflecting on Years of Runescape is also wonderful and well worth a read.

More of this sort of stuff please and less of the mindless hype cycle.
