the whole nvidia situation is utterly wiiiiild
@Cacotopos Getting honeypotted by a Chinese spy is probably the funniest timeline here
@aurynn I’ve been clowning in our AI ranting discord channel about how all the fawning ChatGPT/claude “omg you’re so right/omg that is very insightful/you’re right to push back on that, that was my mistake/oh that’s a load bearing statement, good point” is just a script for getting a c-suite dickhead to do whatever you want.
@Cacotopos Oh, so you're saying that AI replaces bottom-feeder consultants?
@aurynn so many parasite roles can be replaced (and then once replaced you switch off the chatbot lol)
@Cacotopos I'll just have to make sure I'm a non-parasite consultant
@aurynn I never truly realised how valuable it was for my first job (entry level dev in large gov’t project) to be an Anderson Consulting hit job (yes, before the rebrand to “Accidenture”). All my relevant inoculations against the scam, and my deeply ingrained contempt for large consultancy firms was entrenched in the first four years of my professional career 😂
@Cacotopos And yet somehow these large consultancy firms survive even though their ability to deliver results is questionable at best
how does this even happen
@aurynn honestly nfi. “Govt gets AI slop from expensive consultants” should result in “expensive consultants blacklisted for 5 years” automatically (see how generous I’m being?)
I honestly don’t understand why consequences don’t materialise.
@aurynn at least we can have some fun while the world suffers the weight of big tech...
@aurynn everything is programming apparently 😂
