alt Hacker NewsAI isn’t a hype anymore, average non technical people hate AI and would rather not to interact with, and tech companies started to realize that AI won’t be the solution for all of their issues, but they still used it as a scapegoat to lower wages regardless. I even noticed now companies are back to ~2022 time in hiring either FT or consultation, from my experience.
So hopefully soon we will have dirt cheap prices for ram and other chips.

I see more and more non-tech people using LLMs.
I think none of them are paying for it beyond techies, but this is definitely not because they hate AI.
In the meanwhile my big bad corp measures AI usage as a performance KPI

No they don't. It's somewhat polarizing, and quite a lot of non-tech people love it.

You think hiring has surpassed the layoffs? At what wages?
Surely we'll never see the 2020-2022 highs again?

So nobody asks ChatGPT for recipes any more and they're all back to Google search? What is this claim based on? Pretty much everyone I know who is non-technical uses AI for a variety of things.
From my limited viewpoint working for an S&P 500 tech company our uptake of AI is very much still on the increase. Every day we do more with AI than the previous day. We are still learning about where to use this but I think the consensus is that it can do a lot.
