They’re pivoting to AI because they always put up a façade of chasing fads.

Oracle 8 / 9 i for internet (à la iMac)
Oracle 10 / 11 g for grid (clustering)
Oracle 12 / 18 / 19 / 21 c for cloud
Oracle 23 / 26 ai for … slop, I guess.

Product is still the same thing underneath.

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.
