One thing that makes me very happy about #NaNoWriMo crashing and burning: It's good evidence that the #writing world is not even remotely buying into the AI hype. (Unlike another industry I'm involved in... 
)
Having poor moderation practices that enabled grooming? That was bad for them. But promoting AI? That *killed* them. Writers are going: "AI? Fuck, no!

Who could have predicted this? state-of-the-art LLMs score 5% on the 2025 mathematical olympiad despite having been trained extensively on past editions :
seeing what ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini can do today, I think that soon AI-generated products and services will be fighting with other AI-generated products and services.
Very interesting times await us.
How to find your way in this? I have an idea - I will become an ascetic, or some slow-life farmer. #AIHype
Alibaba’s Tsai Warns of ‘Bubble’ in AI Data Center Buildout
“I start to see the beginning of some kind of bubble,” he told delegates to the summit. Some of the envisioned projects commenced raising funds without having secured “uptake” agreements, he added. “I start to get worried when people are building data centers on spec. There are a number of people coming up, funds coming out, to raise billions or millions of capital.”

This article solidifies why I never take these #Accessibility businessmen/professionals seriously. First of all, for an accessibility practitioner, he doesn’t understand the technology he is writing about. A longer blog post will be coming, but this is why I roll my eyes at accessibility professionals today.

"My core theses — The Rot Economy (that the tech industry has become dominated by growth), The Rot-Com Bubble (that the tech industry has run out of hyper-growth ideas), and that generative AI has created a kind of capitalist death cult where nobody wants to admit that they're not making any money — are far from comfortable.
The ramifications of a tech industry that has become captured by growth are that true innovation is being smothered by people that neither experience nor know how (or want) to fix real problems, and that the products we use every day are being made worse for a profit. These incentives have destroyed value-creation in venture capital and Silicon Valley at large, lionizing those who are able to show great growth metrics rather than creating meaningful products that help human beings.
The ramifications of the end of hyper-growth mean a massive reckoning for the valuations of tech companies, which will lead to tens of thousands of layoffs and a prolonged depression in Silicon Valley, the likes of which we've never seen.
The ramifications of the collapse of generative AI are much, much worse. On top of the fact that the largest tech companies have burned hundreds of billions of dollars to propagate software that doesn't really do anything that resembles what we think artificial intelligence looks like, we're now seeing that every major tech company (and an alarming amount of non-tech companies!) is willing to follow whatever it is that the market agrees is popular, even if the idea itself is flawed.
Generative AI has laid bare exactly how little the markets think about ideas, and how willing the powerful are to try and shove something unprofitable, unsustainable and questionably-useful down people's throats as a means of promoting growth.
(...)
In short, reality can fucking suck, but a true skeptic learns to live in it."
Despite the hopeful tone this takes regarding LLMs and openly speculating if future LLM image descriptions will be better, this is a really great breakdown as to why AI is not capable of writing good image descriptions.

AI Will Replace Engineers? 
Oh, sweet summer child…
AI isn’t thinking. It’s autocomplete on steroids.
It guesses confidently, fails quietly, and we pretend it’s magic.
Engineers won’t be replaced.
They’ll be cleaning up AI’s mess.
But sure, dream of your AI CEO…

Elon Musk’s 2019 prediction: “I feel very confident predicting that there will be autonomous robotaxis from Tesla next year… From our standpoint, if you fast forward a year, maybe a year and three months, but next year for sure, we’ll have over a million robotaxis on the road.”

I haven't even used "foundation models" (still refuse) and now that seems out of fashion and we're at "frontier models."
The lack of uncritical uptake of all these terms pushing #AIHype is incredible.
“…a quarter century has passed without a principled solution to even one of those problems.”
