    What a cock. There are a thousand things more important than subsidizing “AI” horse shit. It’s making money all on its own.

      Well, no, AI’s not actually making money. It’s drawing in speculators, though, so the hucksters hyping it are doing well for themselves.

      AI is another VC white elephant. It’s very expensive to run, with questionable reliability and a totally umclear future.

        We’re making plenty of money, thank you very much - it also is a VC white elephant, you’re not wrong, but that VC firehose is currently pointed at AI and we’ve got plenty to fund salaries.

        “Making money” in the same way that every tech fad makes money. There will be legit applications but it wont be the world shaking boom that the news makes it out to be.
