“This totally amazing new product that everyone will definitely want might turn into a total failure if everyone doesn’t actually want it. Clearly, this is your fault for not wanting it hard enough, and not our fault for shoving a totally unwanted product down everyone’s throats.”

Microslop behaving like a tumor.

eat shit you walking dickhead.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

There are plenty of other machine learning projects, even ones using Transformer-based neural networks), that are doing just fine because they are not built on top of ridiculous business models like ‘buy every bit of computer hardware and hope someone makes something to run on it’.

The faster this thing crashes, the faster all consumer electronics becomes cheaper.

“People don’t want our product and we’re in danger of failure, wahhh” -capitalist oligarch

Something something free market dynamics something something. Oh wait, they only believe in that when it means deregulating, but if it means letting their company fail then all of a sudden everyone else has a responsibility to carry weight for them?

Privatized profits and socialized losses. Damn greedy crooks.

Good.

Translation: “Please help us justify our choices to our board. They want to know why we YOLO’d billions into making our users hate us.”

Stop calling LLMs ‘AI’, there’s nothing intelligent about regurgitating statistically luke-warm refried Reddit threads.

Not boom, we’re waiting for a kaboom

Gooooooooooooooooood

oooh, promise?

Whining that nobody wants to use your product worked pretty well for Zuck and his Mii-verse. Oh, that’s right, it didn’t, never mind.

Don’t get too excited folks, Nadella’s never been right about anything before…
