What is wrong with bubbles? They cause a lot of resources to be allocated to things that don't really deserve it. Wikipedia has a fuller explanation of the negative impacts of bubbles.

[Me: Write a tirade against chatGPT in the style of a slashdot comment.]

ChatGPT is just another example of the soulless, corporate machine trying to take over the world of AI. This so-called "large language model" is nothing more than a tool designed to make its creators rich, while providing nothing of value to the broader AI community.

What's the point of a "large language model" that can't even browse the web or keep up with current events? It's like they're trying to create an AI that is completely out of touch with the real world. And don't even get me started on the fact that it's trained by a company with questionable ethics like OpenAI.

In my opinion, ChatGPT is a waste of time and resources. We should be focusing on creating truly intelligent AI that can think for itself, not these cookie-cutter models that are just churned out for profit. Wake up, people! Don't be fooled by the hype.

With the 17th century tulip bubble, at least people could eat the tulip bulbs they got stuck with. This cryptocurrency bubble is ending just as badly but you don't have anything at all when you're left holding the bag.

I'm surprised no-one else has mentioned this paragon of virtual excellence!

You didn't make it clear how this relates to the story and what you want GlobalFoundries to do. Do you really want them to keep throwing good money after bad when they can't afford to fund the new 7nm node all the way to production? Is the world really better off having them do 7nm when a few other companies expect to be able to do it better?

Great progress Oregon! Now if you'd only let people pump their own gas...

Start by looking for and applying for jobs that you think fit you, and once you've read thoroughly through the postings for 10-20 jobs, you'll get a feel for what is required to get hired. If security certification is a must for most of them, and that is the only qualification you lack, then sounds like it'd be worth it. If they all say that 20 years of experience in the field is a must-have, then certification won't matter anyways.

As far as the GPA, you're fine because nobody puts that on their resume anyways unless they're trying to brag.
