Lemmy.Zip appears to have disappeared/deleted this post, I think moderators on Lemmy.Zip get a bit touchy about hearing that AI is complete bullshit or that they think this somehow doesn't have to do with technology?

....as if an article about how AI works really well wouldn't be on topic in a technology community?

Hot damn I am getting so tired of people who are lost in the AI slop.....

From the Lemmy.zip Technology community sidebar.

If article mentions “AI” in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn’t make it tech news.

This is the kind of line that people give who can't admit AI is bullshit and don't want to face that fact so they pretend they are just tired of hearing about AI when what they really don't want is for people to keep pointing out in rational, hard numbers that AI is a bullshit technology.

How in the hell is it not relevant to Technology that what is being promised as the next transformative technology is utterly bullshit? When this bubble crashes it will destroy the US economy and eliminate many tech companies, of course this is relevant to Technology shame on Lemmy.Zip.

This is kind of the dark side of this IPO, which is that they have negotiated with the Nasdaq, which has one of the most popular index funds in the world. It's what houses many Americans' 401ks and their retirement portfolios.

There's a lot of money on the line here. And if Nasdaq can figure out a way to include SpaceX, then technically that means that they're going to get billions of dollars of inflows into that fund.

You're balancing, on the one hand, lots and lots of money, and on the other hand, credibility and the safety and security of passive investors' money. My view is that that was a bad decision by the Nasdaq. I think it'll come back to bite them.

This is as about a big of a story about technology impacting people as it gets. I am not fan of reading investor recommendations, but this is one of the biggest stories of our lifetime. If AI was a real developing profitable industry it would have real technologies and impacts to gesture at consistently, but since it is more a belief of an implementation soon rather than a working profitable implementation now the only way to quantify the degree to which a belief in something that doesn't really exist (AI) and yet is warping other very real things (the rest of technological development) is through economic terms.

I agree with you that it's a big deal, but given that it's essentially a business article and the comm explicitly has a rule against AI news that's not technical, I think it's a stretch to call the mods biased.
