They made a thing that does nothing useful, but was novel. They paid the top consulting firms hundreds of millions to invent a "use" for it.
Then in the typical C-Suite Circle Jerk fashion, everybody started cumming on each others backs as they forced LLM down everyone's throats not realizing that there was no use because they are hired for their willingness to be cold and cruel to employees in the pursuit of their goals and deference to authority, not their intelligence, perception or skills.
We've pissed away trillions on stupid, by stupid and for stupid.
The worst part is it is useful, and almost none of the planet burning was necessary.
We could have just had siri, but actually useful. Instead we lose the Internet to slop and companies are literally selling their futures to get people to use siri, but it require a quarter second on a top of the line server rack, instead of 20 seconds on your phone
They are just trying to distract us from the fact that it is already doing what it is supposed to do. Which is enable companies to fire even more people and deliver even less on their promises.

Calling it a multi billion dollar project is factually correct but quite the understatement

The only useful thing to do with AI is to remove it from any place they did infect it with.

Are those quotes actually real and in the right context?

AFAIK this is a paraphrase that holds very well the meaning on the original.

This situation is a good example of how memes and screenshots make news extra ragey and divisive.

Its better to beg for social forgiveness than to ask for social permission
