    I’m attending BSides right now and holy crap one of the three rooms for talks is just all AI topics for the entire 2 days. Not that it’s bad, but the talks do become repetitive, and it’s the same stuff being said over and over again. The organizers also probably didn’t anticipate the number of people interested in the topic because they put those talks in the smallest room among the three. And the biggest room was like less than half filled at maximum.

      Oof. I am so tired of AI hype at conferences.

      I’m as pleased as anyone for the delightful jump in tooling quality that LLMs can provide.

      But, no, we’re not about to hit the singularity. And no, a clever word regurgitation engine wasn’t the only thing holding back my go-it-alone brilliant start-up idea.

      Oh well. I’m sure I’ll make good enough money cleaning up the messes left by people who bet too hard on unproven technology… Again.
