They're counting on sales boost from GTA 6. Also, rumors on upcoming console generations have gone from "probably 2027" to "might start seeing early Dev prototypes by end of 2027 and consumer launches in 28 or 29."

You? Hahaha no, they are the ones who want to run AI on your phone.

This post reads like it was written by a Fae

And I'm sure this move has absolutely nothing to do with the upcoming GTA6 release this fall.

Call me nuts, but how about they just take my Doctor's word for me needing a refill of the medication?

No. The job problems are not because of AI. The "replaced by AI" is an excuse the Suits are using to distract from the actual reasons why hiring has stalled and layoffs are picking up.

Incorrect. Science is a process, if you "believe" in a claim or a result that's not Science. Science demands we constantly question and test things even when they are considered "settled." Questioning things like climate change is not Denial of Science. Refusing to question them is. Blindly following a result which caters to your desires is just as much of a problem as blindly rejecting the result.

It's almost impossible to find good sources. Most don't even tell you what sort of cooling is being used and are just shouting vaguely. Finding an article that actually tells you where the water is drawn from and where it goes is rare, because that would take actual effort to report and might take away from the currently popular "Big Tech BAD" narrative.

They were probably watching cspan and local government access channels.

Other than people buying chips specifically for AI nothing is really dependent on it though. Sure, there's a lot of Execs telling investors things about AI "adoption" but that's mostly just bullshit so that investors feel reassured that company X isn't missing out on the next big thing. And for the few who actually are using it to do actual work, losing Open AI itself is of no particular consequence.

It's almost as if there's more than one person in the US.

My guess is that it's a "mobile simulator" botfarm for hire, which rents services to people/organizations who want to run social media campaigns, artificially inflate view/follow/streaming numbers, buy/scalp tickets, bomb reviews, run SMS scams, and that sort of thing. I also suspect it's been known about for a while and they just took it down now as a "just in case" and for some easy publicity.

It doesn't take very many brutal, public executions to get people to stop.

Because before, most of them would give up after the coke wore off having accomplished exactly nothing. Now, they have managed to actually get a large quantity of pure slop shoved into a production environment which is a lot more difficult to clean up.
