I enjoyed reading this book, though as someone who watches Mystery AI Hype Theatre 3000 pretty regularly, the information contained within is something I was already aware of.

For those of you who haven't read it, give it a read - it covers a lot of the underlying lies being bandied about in the current AI Hype bubble, and the sheer amount of bullshit coming out of Silicon Valley as they desperately grasp for the trillion dollar use case.

Overall, pretty short, but extremely well cited. The only ding I'm giving the book is that I think the prose could have been structured a bit better, there are a bunch of "we'll cover this in {x} section" or "we covered this in {x} section" as you go through and I think you'd have needed less of that were the sections reorganized a bit to have a stronger "narrative" arc.

Grabbed this from the library. It's alright so far, it's mostly a biography with some financial advice mixed in so far.

Great book. It's clear that Mr. Bjarnason is a Generative AI skeptic (and I am too) but he gives a lot of practical advice which aims to tamp down on the hype a little.

Only on the first chapter and it's already a bit of a doozie.
