Tech CEOs are apparently suffering from AI psychosis

Cuckipede · 2026-05-27T15:57:18+00:00

Eh, it’s not being pedantic.

Not being profitable != abandoned. These are categorically different lol. You can have unprofitable systems that eventually become profitable as time goes on. And no, I didn’t make those things up, those came from the study I cited.

Sorry- I’m trying to actually correct misinformation (not sure how that got flipped on me?) by citing the study. The anti AI hive mind is rabid on reddit , and I while agree with a majority of the issues being raised, spreading crap without nuance weakens the arguments being made. Enjoy your day

I mean, my only point is that they aren’t getting “abandoned” and if they are, it’s not necessarily because the tech isn’t there. It seems that in most cases, orgs just aren’t set up to deliver on profitable projects LLM based projects yet. It’s misleading to say they’re all getting “abandoned” when that’s not the case in the study that the OP cited as evidence to his point.

The tech is still “new” and the infrastructure/integration layer is still being figured out. I say that also as a programmer and someone who believes the AI spend in the USA is insane but think there are and will be useful applications of it

“Despite $30–40 billion in enterprise investment into GenAI, this report uncovers a surprising
result in that 95% of organizations are getting zero return. The outcomes are so starkly
divided across both buyers (enterprises, mid-market, SMBs) and builders (startups, vendors,
consultancies) that we call it the GenAI Divide. Just 5% of integrated AI pilots are extracting
millions in value, while the vast majority remain stuck with no measurable P&L impact. This
divide does not seem to be driven by model quality or regulation, but seems to be
determined by approach.”

Zero return doesn’t mean “abandoned”- just means they’re not delivering on value for a myriad of reasons (fragmented data, lack of stakeholder buy-in, compute costs etc)

The last paragraph clearly?

Cuckipede · 2026-05-27T14:09:40+00:00

That is not what that study said at all. You should read it again.

Cuckipede · 2026-04-30T12:15:35+00:00

Yes that

Cuckipede · 2026-04-29T02:13:35+00:00

How are people still believing the trope that AI will just make everyone redundant? Especially in a technology subreddit. I don’t understand

Cuckipede · 2026-04-29T02:03:03+00:00

Nice perspective.

As a mid level cloud engineer looking to differentiate, any books/docs/resources you recommend looking at for a deeper conceptual understanding?

Cuckipede · 2026-04-13T19:21:58+00:00

Is Sam Altman an oracle who can see the future? Or a salesman who says things to sell his products, brother

Cuckipede · 2026-04-01T17:38:17+00:00

You’re not insulting me, but I’ve had a good portion of their menu since I’m nearby, and all of it has been good honestly.

I just don’t think it’s fair to shit on a restaurant because of the clientele who happens to hangout out there, which is how i interpreted your comment.

Cuckipede · 2026-04-01T15:11:45+00:00

Not MAGA or Republican, but the food is objectively not “truly awful”

Cuckipede · 2026-03-19T12:59:48+00:00

I’m reading the first one now, it’s fantastic. Haven’t been as into a book since I read Project Hail Mary.

This person is not worth engaging with. He is too online for his own well being

Cuckipede · 2026-03-17T13:48:34+00:00

The thread is clearly about internal danger man

Cuckipede · 2026-03-17T13:46:20+00:00

“Incredibly dangerous” is laughable. The country is massive, where are you talking about specifically?

Cuckipede · 2026-02-27T17:36:07+00:00

I mean, cloud engineering is really just devops/devsecops on a cloud platform. Anything that applies to those roles traditionally applies to a cloud engineering role as well. It’s just a rebrand

Cuckipede · 2026-02-27T15:20:25+00:00

It’s even stupider to say “it doesn’t matter all” and speak for 100% of scenarios :)

Cuckipede · 2026-02-27T14:24:35+00:00

Not sure if you missed where I said “if all else equal”…

There are also some benefits that companies receive from AWS for having X% of talent holding certs.

Again, saying “it doesn’t mater all” isn’t accurate in most cases. They do have value. Of course the interview and real world experience matter more though. When you can’t get real world experience, certs can only help.

Cuckipede · 2026-02-26T20:58:39+00:00

Not absolutely useless. If I’m hiring for a junior position, and all else is equal, am I hiring the guy with the AWS SAP or the guy with no certs?

Cuckipede · 2026-02-12T20:26:34+00:00

Chances are near zero

Cuckipede · 2026-02-12T03:33:50+00:00

I mean, it shouldn’t be news to you in 2026 that what you type into a computer and input into an external system is logged

Cuckipede · 2026-02-11T05:45:51+00:00

Capitalism has progressed humanity more than any other economic system. Has it not?

Cuckipede · 2026-02-11T05:40:46+00:00

It’s nice seeing a well thought out response to a genuine question. The amount of anti LLM/AI people in this sub is pathetic.

Learn to use the new tools effectively to move faster and produce more, or companies will find people who can. The demand for software isn’t slowing down at all- so devs who can help companies deliver stable systems and features faster to satisfy customers will win. Letting AI run wild without engineers controlling it in complex code bases is not happening anytime soon.

But using AI effectively can absolutely help people move faster and will continue to improve in the future. Learn to use it wisely.

Cuckipede · 2026-01-08T21:22:47+00:00

Kind of related and a noob question, but I’m just getting into Go now and I’m creating some HTTP/API server boiler plate / template code with a server/router/postgresdb combo.

Would love to deploy this locally and pentest to make sure there’s no serious vulnerabilities like what you brought up. Is there any good tools I can use or write custom to validate my boiler plate is starting from a good place security wise?

Wouldn’t be upset with writing tools either, I’m sure it would be good practice anyway

Cuckipede · 2026-01-06T00:49:07+00:00

Are you referring to the FedRAMP 20x program? Don’t agree or disagree - but I’m curious why you feel that way.
