    Eine zuverlässige Quelle zu finden war mir zu viel Aufwand. Ich weiß mittlerweile garnicht ob der ursprüngliche Post was aktuelles war, oder ob nur eine Studie aus 2025 wiedergekäut wurde.

    Per Suchmaschine findet man einfach so viel Slop nach dem Schema “Die meisten KI Projekte scheitern… beachte daher diese geheimen Tipps um es besser zu machen!” Darüber ist das Meme.








  • Funny horse-butt-creature notwithstanding, Dotcorows AI takes have been rather mid. Quoting from Guardian…

    In this book, at least, he isn’t animated by the headline-grabbing concerns, whether existential risk or AI psychosis, deepfake porn or election disinformation, because those are unintended consequences. His target is the revenue model and the bubble it has created: “To be an effective AI critic, you need to strike at the source of AI’s power, which is the investment capital it attracts.”

    He isn’t falling for AI doom and he is aware of the bubble, which puts him near the better end of the spectrum. But he’s also unwilling to fully criticize community damage resulting from LLM use. That may be because he’s fond of LLMs himself for his text editing and is repping the “it’s just another tool” defense. So he isn’t willing to go all the way when it comes to criticizing the global theft of labour that continues to power this industry. Information wants to be free, dontcha know?




  • I bumped heads here before on that take, but I can empathize deeply with these people.

    I expect that interacting with most of them will be infuriating, since they probably accepted the “this is just how things are done from now on” narrative of AI and are some level of infatuated with the fancy demos.

    But this acceptance is also where the inescapable soul-crushing comes from. If you can adopt an internal posture of resistance, the prevalence of AI is still grating but you can adopt a perspective that doesn’t devalue your own skill and makes personal impact conceivable. Many of these folks are pretty far gone, but a pipeline of recovery should be possible from a starting point like this.
