re: #95 Eclectic Cyborg

It’s not just Microsoft. There’s an insane AI arms race going on right now where all the major tech companies are tripping over themselves to rush AI products out and try to cash in on the hype.

It’s reckless.

And it’s dangerous.

But because the Tech Bros and VC firms are pouring money into this stuff, that’s where everyone goes consequences be damned.

Totally agree.

I just watched The History Channel’s treatment of Jobs vs Gates as part of their “Mega-Brands That Built America” series last night. Surprisingly, the portrayal of Jobs was more than good enough for me to suggest that people seek this out. Anyway, much time was spent on Jobs’ perfectionism…how he insisted the Apple II look like something you’d WANT to have on your desk, and how he nearly brought the whole company down in the long process of birthing the Macintosh.

I am pretty sure he would not be rushing AI products into the marketplace right now in their present state of development.
