35% of the value of the US stock market is the mag7, 19% of that is NVIDIA, and *42% OF NVIDIA'S REVENUE IS THE MAG7 BUYING GPUs*. Our god damn economy is supported by whether five companies buy more GPUs every quarter! This is insane! www.wheresyoured.at/the-haters-gui/
www.wheresyoured.at/the-haters-gui/But Ed, They Said Something About Points of Growth-

Silence!

Any of these companies talking about "growth from AI" or "the jobs that AI will replace" or "how AI has changed their organization" are hand-waving to avoid telling you how much money these services are actually making them. If they were making good money and experiencing real growth as a result of these services, they wouldn't shut the fuck up about it! They'd be in your ear and up your ass hooting about how much cash they were rolling in!

And they're not, because they aren't rolling in cash, and are in fact blowing nearly a hundred billion dollars each to build massive, power-hungry, costly data centers for no real reason.

Don’t watch the mouth — watch the hands. These companies are going to say they’re seeing growth from AI, but unless they actually show you the growth and enumerate it, they are hand-waving.

I don't think most people contemplate quitting programming because of LLMs directly, but as a side effect of supply constraints from LLMs real or perceived impact on the dev job market. The discourse around LLMs for devs would be different if the job market was comparable to 2017-2019 for example

"For the child born this summer in Texas, whose parents receive no documents, whose name never appears in any system, and who grows up asking why she can’t go on field trips, apply for scholarships, or open a bank account, the consequences are not legal theory. They are her life."

The United States Is About to Embark on a Terrifying Experiment in Mass Statelessness
This scenario, until recently, might have read like a dystopian projection. But after the court’s decision on Friday, it is no longer hypothetical.

I'm generally not a proponent of AI and I feel it creates more problems than it solves, but reading the piece I was interested that AI is usually seen producing either javascript or Python code, and was wondering what a purpose-built language for use by AI would look like

Writer Jean Hatzfeld: 'By destroying Gaza, Israel destroys Judaism'
In an interview with Le Monde, the author of a major body of work on Rwanda draws parallels in Gaza to the early stages of genocide and fears that Israel may be abandoning Jewish values.

I'm really, really not a Trump apologist, but isn't there a bit of a disconnect between the figures caption and what the figures are showing? Roughly, YoY it seems to be pretty close, or am I missing something obvious?

Israel murdered this beautiful soul. Remember Fatima Hassona. Watch and spread the film "Put your soul on your hand and walk". And never stop fighting the mass murdering death machine that is the Israeli state. She was 25.

After the apocalypse, there might come a slow blackout—less bang, more whimper. Routers die. Servers take their last breath. Phones crap out. Nothing works. Except Collapse OS, the operating system for the end of the world.
