A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Oh yeah absolutely, but I also think the goal of the AI companies is not to actually create a functioning AI that could "do a job 20% as good as a human, but 90% cheaper", but to sell fancy software, whether it works or not, and leave the smaller companies holding the bag after they lay off their workforce.
I think that’s also part of it. Lots of stupid moving parts in this giant idiot machine.
