Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

I truly hope no one sincerely believes that AI is what it’s hyped up to be

If leadership does, well, they’ll have to learn the hard way. And we’ll be the ones paying the price.

This will play out with CEOs wanting AI to move a market, rather than really focus on it's adaption and assist people in understanding AL'S function. They are literally throwing that moniker around like NFTs and crypto tokens.

The problem is that AI is nothing more than an aggregate consolidation of popular answers/solutions. No one is discussing the fail safes and references that AI use as a basis for source material. It's right up there with someone changing a Wikipedia page and calling it factual without reliable sources.

Anyone trying to market AI today is a scam artist. Anyone working on AI implementation in a controlled environment (non production) is attempting to keep it from becoming nothing but a "buzzword" commodity right now.

AI has good chance of being just like 5yee... over promised and under delivered.

Dan thinks Verizon can be like PayPal even though it’s a Utility company that’s nothing like PayPal.

Dan has never thought about the logistics of A.I. aside from getting all the raw material it has to tested, developed, then, manufactured, distributed and then managed. He obviously never worked in the Verizon network. and thinks A.I. can be deployed in the old network that is everywhere. A.I. and robots being everywhere is realistically 20 to 30 years away. They have to deploy it, and it’s not going to deploy in the next 1000 days or 5 to 7 years.

In any event, A.I. is in a bubble and will probably crash.

@OP Look how many people work in a huge data center. Just a handful, AI has been doing a great job there. AI tool for the need for new pizza box. AI tool for Power space cooling. AI tool for all the electronic connections. Contractor installed. Repeat.

@b5 this makes total sense to replace the CEO with AI. We don’t need a human to lead a company … look where that has gotten us. Gemini can do a much better job than Hatchet Man

@OP Seriously? Do you think they’ll actually face any consequences? I can’t believe this. Guys like Dan will pocket the money and disappear to some island.

The “real” AI—something actually efficient, reliable, and useful—is still 8 to 12 years away. Right now, nobody in AI is actually turning a profit. Honestly, they don’t even have enough power to for the data centers. This feels like the new dot-com bubble.
All this lofty talk about AI is just trendy jargon to hide a lack of vision, inflexibility, and plain incompetence. Dan is old, and rigid, and a hack...every one knows it. He's here for the last feast.

Think about it—if AI is so amazing, why not start by replacing the CEOs with it? It couldn’t do much worse than Hans or Dan… and even if it did, at least it would be cheaper.

We are going to pay the price no matter what. Just play along and get paid for it. Stopped thinking otherwise when Lowell came along.
