An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” John Cassidy writes. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/mlYgP3

This is a terrible idea, he needs to be stopped and all that follow him should be locked up. He has no empathy or compassion nor the mental acuity to be a leader. Same for his enablers and the ones supporting him just to further their shitty cause.
Wait, that sounds familiar...
That's a funny way of spelling "we're going to be murdered by LLMs who deem our lives to be unprofitable to the 1%. And if you think that's hyperbole, I strongly suggest you look into what's happening with LLMs healthcare now.

Anyone want to bet that Musk is in on this?
Either way, this is more Project2025 BS that wants to privatize everything. If you can’t make a fast buck with it then burn it.
