> The price increases ... made the customers ask the question the AI vendors need them to never ask: "Do we need this?" ... Times are tough, people are going to look at the costs and ask, "Do we need this?"

postflopclarity•1h ago

stopped listening after "they're not supplying a compelling product"

the speaker here clearly is just rage-baiting. any inability to achieve productivity gains with the products OAI and A\ produce is purely a user skill issue

Guitars are insane trash. No matter how much you pound on them, even if you use power tools, they just produce noise, not music.

I don't think you can make an informed assessment of the 40 minute interview based on the first 30 seconds of an out-of-context preview clip.

I think there good reasons to criticize some of his arguments, but you have to at least make it past the intro music.

> OAI and A\

Did you mean "any GenAI tool whatsoever"? Nothing special about those two big ones except the brand and the huge capacity to devour and repurpose any and all data you send to them.

glimshe•24m ago

At this point I'm equating people who are radically against AI (as opposed to nuanced yet sharply critical) as being the flat earthers of our industry.

borzi•13m ago

The thing is it's very hard to know where on the spectrum you should be and that is breaking many people's brain in the industry (myself included). While I believe both the deniers and singularity believers seem like irrational extremes, the negativity of the deniers and complete lack of aw for the tech just shows me whatever the future is, they are not the ones involved in building it...
