They say AI isn’t profitable.

Exactly.
I'm just sitting by the riverbank and I already saw few corpses of AI poisoned projects float by.
The worst/best thing is that usually when a project implode it does so with very little time to unfuck it, so rates for someone who can fix it without slopping it are high. -
@stefano thank you for putting a big smile on my face with this priceless toot. It needs to be framed and hung at the Louvre

@stefano great, it's like a polluted river, which generates more wealth by having to clean it up than one with crystal clear water.

Well, sometimes real life can be a piece of art. -
@stefano I think yesterday or the day before I read something similar about Microsoft delivering poor products to their customers and they literally created an aftermarket and a support ecosystem by this.

AI bubble secretly created by tech support companies so they get paid to clean up the mess when it pops

️@Tionisla I can totally believe it.

@FediThing

@stefano When everyone is building apps with AI, sell tech support.

@stefano AI is just a tool. You have to use it in the right place at the right time.
When someone wants to cut corners, they will just pay for it later. Glad you could invoice for that!
I know other guys who rightfully do not like Windows, but are grateful for the work fixing the crazy things they do.

@NickBergenComputerQuest True. I'm not against technologies. I'm against the abuse of technology. Or misuse of technology. Or imposition of technology.

@stefano Totally agree. These poor LLM's are definitely going to need therapy.

@stefano I hope you charged them extra

@stefano True - but... when I was a craftsman, some of my most lucrative jobs were fixing bad builders' errors, usually on a short time schedule; customers in that situation are usually less cost-sensitive & I'd have to work weekends, so my bill went up.
- but it stops being fun very quickly. You're rarely hired to do a good job; just to unfuck someone else's mistakes as much as time & budget allows. For me, at least, this did not make for satisfying work...

@jwcph I totally agree. But they usually learn the lesson and stop doing things in the bad way. The next time, they'll call a proper consultant or specialist.
