LLM Slop ("AI") Won't Last Much Longer
Providers of slop will shut down for financial reasons
We've had a relatively busy day in IRC and we've still managed to publish a lot here and in the sister site, which put an end to Slopwatch due to LLM slop gradually ebbing away.
There are many positive signs out there; the fake economy - or rather a bubble pretending to be built upon real value - will implode, leaving in tact only a remnant of what we once dubbed "GAFAM".
Apple has been having a ton of high-level departures lately, set aside mass layoffs and the CEO being pushed out. No company is immune at these times. NVIDIA is seemingly a giant Ponzi scheme [1, 2], not the world's most valuable company. 8 days ago I met a person who works there and he openly tells me that he plans to leave because the workplace is stressful and he knows the employer is bluffing. NVIDIA isn't better off than Intel, it's just riding a hype wave. The mass layoffs aren't "due to AI" or to "invest in AI"; it's a smokescreen.
Here in Tux Machines we eagerly look forward to the eta after the "AI" hype. It'll make news curation a lot simpler. █
