Eventually all of this slop will pass when they realize it does not work. But for a couple years everyone is gonna have to put up with companies trying bullshit like this until the metrics show that it doesn’t do anything for the cash.
- Companies need a way to pick any hire out of a large set of applicants. They don’t care if it’s a good hire. They don’t even care if the hire will burn down the building. This same thing could be accomplished with a small script that points to a random applicant and evaluates if that one lied on their resume. That’s it.
  But if you call it “AI”, dumbfuck business majors will buy your magic beans.
- I assume they haven't caught on because they think it will work soon due to not understanding the current problems are fundamental issues with the current offerings.
  The current problems cannot be fixed by scaling or using different training data, the core design introduces ~~hallucinations~~ errors. How many decades will it take for companies to catch on and be willing to admit it though?
  
  Add to this the cost fallacy, where they have put so much money to embrace the "AI" bullshit.
  And on the top of that, did you ever see a CEO or someone in power admitting their fault and say: "yeah guys, I was wrong all along, let's fix this, I am sorry."
  They will double down on that until bankruptcy and blame the incels, the gamers, the work force, the weather but not themselves.
  
  Also consider that the same idiot decision makers have been happily applying Factory-management methods to knowledge workers for decades without noticing how badly that works.
- I sort of assumed that would be the case with cryptocurrencies too considering it is 100% scams but so far I am still waiting. And AI has far higher chances to convince idiot CEOs than cryptocurrencies ever had.
  
  Then you don't really understand crypto do ya.
  
  Crypto is good for money laundering
  
  Most of them aren't really because it is not anonymous, just pseudonymous and once you are identified your entire transaction history is public.
