AI is everywhere. Is it all it’s cracked up to be or is it one big scam? Well, as it is for most things, the truth is somewhere in the middle. In this episode we see how, despite some of AI’s useful contributions, the hype has also impacted the tech industry negatively.

Nah, the layoffs aren't ai doing people's work. Before the ai boom, companies bragged about growth to draw investment. So, if they needed money, they hire a bunch of people and then sell shares or got VC money based on their "increased" company value. Now, to get that same value boost, companies boast about efficiency and drop staff.
The investment market is like a ponzie scheme. Pull in investment as new money while paying dividends and making an operating loss… But sure, one day the company will do a Facebook.
3 minutes in, and the intro is finally almost done telling me what the video will be about… but wait, we have now segued into an inline sponsor ad. I'm outta here.
Human are evolving no they are just scamming
Recently I wanted to help out a colleague with automating the preparation of some reports. It was simple: I was supposed to feed two different CSV files into OpenAI or Claude, and cross-reference the files to extract the emails that appeared in both. Both OpenAI and Claude failed consistently. They would either miss emails or hallucinate emails that weren't there.
If it's unable to do this properly 100% of the time, how the hell is it supposed to do anything more complex?
I think we've definitely hit the ceiling in terms of what the currently available models can do. I don't think it's a problem with the models anymore, but rather the fact that the tech is not there yet. LLM's are amazing, but when you consider how much computation power they use + how frequently they're wrong, you don't have to be Einstein to realize it's not sustainable.
As someone who uses or tries to use ai on a daily bases, it has it's place but you quickly expose it's weak points. In it's current iteration, for it to be useful for the 'average' office worker, you have to get good at prompt engineering and 'coding' the backend of an ai agent. It's difficult getting an ai prompt to consistently generate an orange background even though the same or similar prompt for the next task/project always generates a brown background. And then you have to 'tweak' the prompt.
Are AI laptops behaving better now in mid-25? is there more valuable models and tools bubbling up?
In the AI gold rush, companies aren’t mining — they’re being mined. You’re paying to surrender your trade secrets, your leverage, and your control. Centralized data hubs hold everything you own. Hackers just need one crack to bring it all crashing down. The data vault shatters — and your secrets become public weapons, destroying your business.
Speak for yourself, I know a Silly Con Valley crock of 💩 scam when I see one. The most sinister aspect of AI is the detrimental effect is has on the people who use it. It's also consuming vast amounts of energy and generating loads of waste heat, just what the planet needs dumber sheeple and vast power consumption/heat production. Yet again greedy corporate scumbags screw the rest of the planet over.
A bogus, pointless and misleading video
Did Amazon breach data rights
Hype hype hype… layoffs have started. Remember big-data, cryptocurrency !! Every 3-4 years time tech CEOs need to justify their jobs. AI is just that.
I'm a Mechanical Engineer, I've used ChatGPT to try to help me solve real life engineering problems (not academic problems) and the results are disappointing. For example, I showed it a bunch of photos of a boiler being installed on a worksite where some of the flanges were misaligned and I wanted to know how to resolve the issue without cutting and welding. The best answer it could give me was to loosen the bolts and "force" the flanges to align.
How tech companies are fooling us
Proceeds to market Aura which is part of the problem
Lol
Why does this "Gartner hype cycle" remind me something about the Dunning-Krugger curve?
The fact that you missed the demo video of Gemini released by Google!
We are about to enter the multi federal reserve era millions will spawn out of nowhere and we will have money flying out of nowhere like jerome is running around the world puking cash everywhere 😂😂😂
I really don’t think that humanity is ready to comprehend 2 trillion dollar fireballs.
The new microsoft worries me now because they are so quiet and that 4 trillion has been extremely quiet and dont forget Microsoft can unleash 2 trillion cash instantly without selling a share no fucking joke.
"Tech" bro.
Thinking AI is bullshit because everyone uses it in their marketing shows you guys know nothing about marketing.
There is no such thing as an AI PC.. They now claim that setting the fan speed based on CPU/GPU temperature or setting graphics settings based on whether you're gaming or not is "AI."
0:02 "Aura k yourself" ~ Frieren probably. Sorry I really had to
"AI will not replace you, a human using AI will do".
That's the most stupid thing I've ever heard!
Yes, one human with AI will do the work of 10 humans who will then be laid off. So, effectively, AI has replaced 9 humans. What are you talking about?!
12:45
Several engineers were laid off recently, with 6K more in the works
Nah mate, the AI is not replacing their work.; they are reducing labour costs to continue paying for the expensive bet on AI. Telling you that it is replacing jobs to nor spook the market and boost confidence.
Tech companies are not fooling me.
According to rumors, One of AI chip manufacturing company CEO himself admitted AI hasn't delivered on investments their customers are making. However, the company has to do what it has and make money.
A similar comment he made for 5G as well, and the next day announced a big deal with a telecom giant for 5G.
AI… All Indians
Update required.
AI is hoax and mind programming
Can anyone picture Sam Altman fixing an HVAC system? Or working on a car? Hahah what about fixing a refrigerator?!
😅😅😅
I legit cannot even imagine him hold ACTUAL tools. Maybe a screwdriver…and yall know he would hold it like a fragile toothbrush. 🤣🤣.
USA and China are trying to use AI in military. I wonder what wonder that would do? 😅
Half baked AI sounds like apple intelligence to a tea if Apple Intelligence was real how come they need ChatGPT and their phones now
I think ai is good at making shit up so all the people who make shit up for a living are scared or impressed. Life isn't going to be affected by people who actually do things
The reality is these things are just programs, no more incredible than any other shit in computing. They just happen to have an output that is easily marketable and consumed. If people knew how incredible CPUs are, or how microkernel architecture worked, they'd be just as amazed. But those things happen to be very abstract.
Let them replace individual intelligence with AI and watch it chew up investments without delivering results
They are traitors .Subverting your Constituional rights to colude with sociopathic Billionaires .
Hey @ColdFusion This video is still relevant today even more. Job losses are still happening within in teams of all kinds. Eventually no industry will be immune.
