We really need to start pushing the truth about AI.

The easiest job for AI to replace would be Management.

Uses the most resources, while offering the least amount of actual productivity.

Reads something by some idiot on the internet, and bases their Management Style around it.

Makes decisions without context.

I seem to be the only person on Mastodon who finds AI useful.

@tuban_muzuru @RickiTarr I find it useful, but not nearly as useful as it's hyped to be... which makes me wonder about its long-term viability. Also, whenever I try to discuss this, I get "but one day, it'll be able to do that!" as if it's inevitable.

That's the experience in a nutshell: the juice isn't worth the squeeze. I've used different A.I. tools, and my takeaway is that the output (copy, art, code) isn't very good or useful. It's okay if you want to generate some quick bullshit, but that's not worth burning the planet and mass-exploiting workers in the developing world.

There's currently no ethical use case for A.I. technology.

I'm using Gemini 2.5 Pro and Claude 4.0. But I've been writing code for 40 years, a lot of it for vision systems and most any sort of sensor: I know how to write for DLib and ONNX .

I should move to TensorRT but it's NVIDIA specific. I may do it anyway.
