I am LOVING seeing so many AI projects being paused or binned.

I am LOVING seeing so many AI projects being paused or binned.
There’s one silver lining in the mass layoffs, they can’t lay off their absurd investment in power, cooling, and hardware. Loss adjusters and liquidators are rubbing their hands with glee.
Also, many silicon spinners are demanding 5 year agreements on production. It’s go big or go home time, and there will be some casualties.
One org I reluctantly work with pivoted their entire operating model to AI and agents, and they royally screwed their staff over.
They’re now hiring them as consultants at twice their original salary as everything fell on it’s arse, and who knew that go to market suits with a prompt can’t keep infrastructure or business running. Hilariously I know one engineer negotiated a one-sided 12 month contract notice period.
These people are going to get desperate, fast. Fetch the s’mores and let em roast.
@SecurityWriter I'm seriously looking forward to the hardware liquidations coming up in the future
-
@SecurityWriter but RAM is now triple the price. I would adapt my initial asked salary to the current RAM price. Of course not to future values...
@gunstick The Silicon Valley index, we could call it.
For a bit of double entendre. The valley is coming. But we’ll take what the current price is please.

@SecurityWriter yup - job openings are all up again as well, but I'm too far gone into independence to go back. Got my consulting gigs, 100% work from home, and a product I built with a small team of 3 is gaining traction and getting initial customers.
So yeah, bye bye suckers!

@SecurityWriter I’m still saying 2H this year when things start unravelling
@gpshewan @SecurityWriter US Midterm elections are often correlated with "market corrections" (and the US is important in tech, so the association makes sense globally). It will be interesting.

@SecurityWriter asking myself if i should buy the cheap ram and stuff once the bubble is popped... in a way that would contribute to dampening the fall of the techno-fascists. they should beg people to buy their stuff. put hand written notes in each shipping box saying "i, [name], CEO of [company name] personally fucked up"

@SecurityWriter Which projects??

@n_dimension @gparenti @gpshewan @ramsey @SecurityWriter Plenty of insurers are using AI themselves--but they cover their asses by running AI copy/contract terms past their in-house lawyers.
@LPerry2 @n_dimension @gparenti @gpshewan @ramsey @SecurityWriter aka human in the loop
