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.

I work with IT at a STEM company, but the typical education is chemistry. People are grounded in measurements and real world practicality, but sci fi is also rather popular.
Some people got hype last year, but most people was more in "new stuff, will this mess with my work flow?" mode. After getting and evaluating tools, some small uses were identified, mostly first draft of meeting minutes. Trying for themselves seems to have quelled the hype. Now there is mostly concern for how AI processes in surrounding companies will affect our products and sales.
So from that small measurement it feels like the hype is breaking. We have a sane and reality based management though, and that helps.
Yeah my company is probably cooked as the kids say. Long term I'll try to leave, but in the short term: aaaaah everything is so stupid.
