"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

MODERATORS
I'm surprised in the face of their disastrous cloud strategy they haven't done the usual Oracle thing: buy out a smaller competitor with much better architecture and then completely ruin it with their own spaghetti code and horrible tooling.
Problem is most competitors are basically wrappers around AWS. It’s really hard to compete with the big ones because you need to build a massive infrastructure footprint to compete.
Not everyone has 3 redundant data centers per available region to compete hardware wise.
