Fantastic. Fuck AI and the tech bro oligarchs that are creaming their pants for it to succeed.

Agreed, fuck em both. Unfortunately, though, the oligarchs aren't going to be the ones hurting from this.

So ai is getting humans fired?

No, they're getting fired for not making a competitive AI product.

If their models were competitive with OpenAI or Anthropic this wouldn't have happened.

They're eating their own? Already? Maybe there's hope for an end to the tech-pocalypse after all? Usually eating their own only starts near the collapse, I thought.
