> And when this all falls apart — and I believe it will — there will be a very public reckoning for the tech industry.
I shocked he really believes it in his closing thought.
Maybe his rant would be bit more digestible if it contained sections with: "here's what I tried and it did not work". But that would make it not a rant but actual research with value.
He's wrong, there's no other sector of the economy with growth potential and there's so much capital desperately seeking returns. Also anxious capital terrified of being disrupted. The tech industry will just move on to the next hype cycle when this one burns out.
I'll save him the trouble of writing it: "I asked ChatGPT 3.5 to write a large, underspecified chunk of code a couple of years ago, and it didn't work the first time, unlike the code that I write. This whole 'AI' business is an elaborate scam."
He's not a developer. He's really talking about consumer tech.
OK, let's try, "I have no idea how any of this works. However, I have come to the conclusion that it doesn't, and can't."
Closer? I'm just going by the headline here.
