"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

The problem with them is that is hard to boycott them. Previously it was product for companies (which was also hated), now they seem to be primarily government contracts.
made of delicious meat?
Anyone else feel like they are a little late to the party? It seems (hopefully) that the AI fad is slowing down, oracle isn’t the best at being on the bleeding edge
Oracle has been building AI data centers for a while now
To anyone just now realizing that Larry Ellison is the biggest piece of shit in tech, I ask...where have you been for the past three decades?
EDIT: BTW in this case, it is not AI's fault. Oracle's cloud is a flop. AWS and Azure (and even Google Coud Services) do the bulk of the business, while Oracle just flops about. They are pivoting to AI because they have to do something with all those datacenters, but let's be clear. There is no viable Oracle AI to speak of.
Early Salesforce user (2005) so I was preached the gospel that Benioff was the face to his old boss' heel 20 years ago.
A lot of tech companies are using AI to justify firings because "we aren't developing anything new" isn't good to tell investors.
They’re pivoting to AI because they always put up a façade of chasing fads.
- Oracle 8 / 9 i for internet (à la iMac)
- Oracle 10 / 11 g for grid (clustering)
- Oracle 12 / 18 / 19 / 21 c for cloud
- Oracle 23 / 26 ai for … slop, I guess.
Product is still the same thing underneath.

Truer words were never spoken.
I'm surprised in the face of their disastrous cloud strategy they haven't done the usual Oracle thing: buy out a smaller competitor with much better architecture and then completely ruin it with their own spaghetti code and horrible tooling.
Problem is most competitors are basically wrappers around AWS. It’s really hard to compete with the big ones because you need to build a massive infrastructure footprint to compete.
Not everyone has 3 redundant data centers per available region to compete hardware wise.
Ah, I see you've used the new pkg, designed by a company who sells RPM support and was unable to see it as one of many so, so much better ideas than new-pkg.
Larry Ellison is a grade A plastic faced cunt.
Naked mole rat cosplay
Hey now, that's insulting to naked mole rats. Though I do see the resemblance.
Venture capital is drying up so they're using revenue to pay for the build out.
They seriously need to change the term to Vulture capital.
That's a lot of evil to release upon the world
Hate to see ppl losing jobs, love to see tech giants making stupid decisions
Larry Ellison used Oracle to finance the purchase of WB-Discovery.
I hope Oracle goes down the drain ASAP.
Man that really sucks for all the workers. Hope the company tanks entirely.
