    Who’s in the bubble? The woman calling a poorly created neural net the next industrial revolution, or the students not realising the job market has gotten so toxic they aren’t getting employed?

      I’d argue that the students know this, and is part of the reason they’re booing. LLMs have given execs the excuse they needed to cut headcount which has caused the job market toxicity. Of course, LLMs are not ready to replace almost anyone except for those executives.

      It hugely depends on what their fields are. But it’s always acceptable to boo AI boosters.

      Calling the largest waste of money since the dawn of money a good thing deserves a swift kick to the face, but since that’s illegal, mockery will have to do.
