@brahms@chaos.social @hugo@social.treehouse.systems @Routhinator@tenforward.social I think if you stay out of the VC-funded and bigtech spaces, there's not going to be anyone pushing AI. It's tied to hypergrowth pressure, collective delusion and herd mentality there. Valve is independent and just has no need to shill AI.

@sanityinc@hachyderm.io @brahms@chaos.social @hugo@social.treehouse.systems @Routhinator@tenforward.social Sadly not true. I’m experiencing this first hand right now. A substantial number of my smart colleagues bought into the hype, and the execs suffer from a metric shitton of FOMO, which translates to a lot of “We should waste compute on LLMs where other solutions (even ML ones) would be more efficient, and/or cheaper.”

@sanityinc@hachyderm.io @brahms@chaos.social @hugo@social.treehouse.systems @Routhinator@tenforward.social Think again. I work in a capital-intensive segment of the transport industry and the information technology leadership in my workplace have gone all in on pushing 'AI' to 'improve efficiency'. Businesses of all descriptions are falling for this.
