Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This week I heard that supposedly, all of those failed AI initiatives did in fact deliver the promised 40% productivity gains, but the companies (supposedly) didn't reap any returns "because they failed to make the necessary organizational changes" (which happens all the time, supposedly).
Is this the new "official" talking point?
Also, according to the university professor (!) who held the talk, the blockchain and web3 are soon going to solve the problems related to AI-generated deepfakes. They were dead serious, apparently. And someone paid them to hold that talk.
No True AI Deployment
Also, AI is super cheap, supposedly, because it is only $ 0.40 an hour (where did that number come from?). Unlike humans, AI doesn't need any vacations and is never sick, either. Furthermore, it is never to blame for any mistakes. The user always is. So at the very least, we still need humans for shouldering all the blame, I guess.
