@a4 Cant even build a useful chatbot to help employees navigate the 724 different systems all our internal stuff is dispersed across

Blame Matt Loathsome and Jill the Swill and her useless toadies, always "leading" with trash "tech" that never fixes the problems. He plasters useless vanity metrics over his Checkpoint that show that forced adoption of AI cause transactions to go up. In other news, water is wet. Meanwhile, all proper metrics are shirtcanned and their "design team" (the remnants) take their design direction from a talentless journalist who looks like JD Vance and equally obsessed with impregnating couches. Of course it is going to su-k. They lack independent thought, creativity, and integrity.

@OP This is how IBM AI works:
1- IBM hires monkeys in India, the only required skill is "cut and paste"
2- IBM parks then in Bangalore. Each monkey has a monitor with multiple windows open.
3- One IBM window that receive the queries and sends the the responses.
4- Multiple cat sessions open. Each is for one of the top of the line AI engines (real ones).
5- When an IBM AI customer sends a query, it lands in front of one the monkeys. The monkeys cuts the query and pastes it on one of the AI engines windows (randomly).
6- When the response is received, the monkeys "cut and copy" from the AI engine to the IBM window, presses the send button.
7- The slimy Indian brags about IBM AI and it successes.

@dd IBM is the most innovative company in the AI space. Instead of building data centers, it hired cheap Indians by the thousands to perform the mundane tasks, usually done by others companies AI.
IBM executives are a smart bunch.

IBM doesn't have a competitive AI offering, we mainly just build wrappers around other people's AI. So why would we have a seat at the table, that table is for the actual leaders.

@bz The reporter obviously missed the earlier story that Trump renamed the country.

Trump's new accord on 'super intelligence' includes spelling error.

@a3 IBM does FI (Fake Intelligence). This goes back to all those Watson spinoffs, which were WINO (Watson in name only). Why do the real thing when subterfuge pays just as well? Which makes me wonder why IBM wasn't at that clown's table after all...

Why would IBM be at the AI meeting? IBM is years behind in AI now, outside of esoteric business models that were lapped by the big 3 a year ago (e.g., COBOL/Fortran coding). They might as well not be doing AI anymore.

This is why they're desperately trying to offramp to Quantum.

@a3 Yep it pretty much is. Cant even build a useful chatbot to help employees navigate the 724 different systems all our internal stuff is dispersed across. Speaking of which, we also do "big data" but we $u-k at that too. I blame Arvind and his merry band of f'ing a'holes.
