       @ariadne the marketing on LLMs is garbage though. Everyone hates AI. The "craze" is blatant theft & disinformation campaigns.

       @vex yes but the marketing folks have managed to get people to believe things about token prediction models that simply aren't true.

       @ariadne At some point we'll learn we can _all_ be duped. The only difference is in _which_ grift dupes us.

       @drwho @mcc @ariadne It's just a pun. I did some research cause I was curious. Other companies deserve at least an honorable mention:- MBB / Big Three (Strategy Consulting): McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), and Bain & Company.- Accenture - Marketing is dominated by Global Holding Companies (often called the "Big Four" or "Big Six" networks)- in AI, in-house marketing teams play a big role

       @drwho @mcc @jbiserkov incidentally I have full conviction that if the CIA were to play that song over and over and over they could get the secrets out of the terrorists

       @ariadne @drwho @mcc @jbiserkov It's too early for this shit. I'm fairly sure you have just found proof that God doesn't exist with this 'song'

       @ariadne This is why I'm trying to get more people into Jean Killbourne's essays and books on marketing/advertising. AI couldn't have happened at a time of lower media literacy in the general population. Coupled with an either credulous or complicit mainstream news ecosystem, you have the perfect storm of CEOs shoveling bullshit that few people are able to smell.
