The original article linked here was one of the best reads I've had in a while. As a data scientist myself, I'm sick of all business decisions revolving around cramming LLMs and Generative AI into every nook and cranny imaginable. It appears to me that most people have forgotten Occam's razor and want to use LLMs just because everyone else is using them and the world is spellbound by this technology.
Oh man. I had already enjoyed the original article, but having someone go and commission a voice actor to read it is brilliant, no matter how much the viewpoint may cut against the grain of the current hype cycle.<p>(I also think it would be awesome in Morgan Freeman's voice, with a bit of tired weariness and wrath...)
Reminds me of the classic “MongoDB is web scale” <a href="https://youtu.be/b2F-DItXtZs" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/b2F-DItXtZs</a>
Has the crypto bubble popped? I definitely see less hype and tech folks talking about it. But coinbase is up 40% this year and BTC is also up. I don't get what's propping it up.

<i>Everyone is talking about Retrieval Augmented Generation, but most companies don't actually have any internal documentation worth retrieving. Fix. Your. Shit.</i>
I was expecting this to be dictated by an AI voice... But this sounds pretty human to me, and if it actually is an AI, I would consider it a decent rebuke of the original article.
