I like AI and use it daily, but this bubble can’t pop soon enough so we can all return to normally scheduled programming.

CEOs are now on the downside of the hype curve.

They went from “Get me some of that AI!” after first hearing about it, to “Why are we not seeing any savings? Shut this boondoggle down!” now that we’re a few years into bubble, the business math isn’t working, and they only see burning piles of cash.

"return to normally scheduled programming" is probably not the exact phrasing you want to use. :)

I consume a lot of different content on a lot of different places. Every site or app has its vibe and communal beliefs. They rarely if ever agree on anything, but they all agree we're in a massive bubble.

I don't have a point, just that it's an unlikely unity.

This is the standard stupidity here based on emotion and denial. This is the narrative that people want to hear.

Of course, trying to automate with chatGPT 4o was stupid. Trying to automate with Sonnet 4.6 will work better. Trying to automate with the models a year from now will work all the better.

To believe we are going to stop and go back to 2019 at this stage is seriously delusional.

I wish it were true. I would love to go back to 2019 but we obviously are not. We never go backwards.

“Regularly scheduled programming” includes progress, not stasis. It just means the AI hype firehouse runs out of money and we rerun to normal sane progress and productivity enhancements without all the overpricing and under delivering of the last few years.
