"I want ai to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for ai to do art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes." - Joanna Maciejewska
-
The reason social media sites don't work as social media sites is because they're not social media sites. They're ad delivery platforms.
-
"All things are justified for growth" is the motto of a cancerous tumor.
-
The best thing they could do with AI is automate away CEOs and give their paychecks to the workers
-
"The rot economy" -- what an apt term for the enshittification we're experiencing across the board.
-
"What if all of your emails could be in the room around you?" Me, who has worked at an extremely understaffed customer help center: please no
-
What I most worry about is the ABSOLUTELY HUMONGOUS amount of power that these companies and products consume for not really doing anything productive whatsoever
-
AI is an incredible achievement. It takes an insane amount of effort from thousands of supposedly smart people to make computers bad at math.
-
My AI professor literally told me Artificial Intelligence is at best a projection of Computer Scientist goals and at worst a marketing term to fool people.
-
None of this AI false hype surprises me. I live in a big tech city, and the attitude of "new technology is inherently good and worth using and we're not going to ask ourselves whether it actually improves our lives" is super prevalent
-
Why would I read a book that nobody bothered to write? Comes to mind when they talk about AI
-
The fact that this conversation basicqlly didnt include at all the blatant theft that is happening with "Training Data" is fucking wild.
-
My company announced they want to add AI to our job to make it “easier” yet I’m like “Can’t we just get an extra day off and keep our pay?” 😒
-
Last week my logitech mouse driver poped up anoucing their new ai stuff. what the fuck does my mouse drive need ai for, this is nft all over again, but worse
-
I was a little grumpy this morning because I had to come into work early but hearing that Chatgpt loses 700,000$ dollars a day makes it all worth it.
-
As a software engineer this is the first time i feel happy that this AI trend is failing, no one wants it and it seems that corporations just continue to push it onto us , i get that AI will make certain things easy but its going to replace the last remnants of the human experience - what little we have left of it anyway.
-
Adam purposefully wearing a shirt that messes up video compression to get the AI overlords off his track is genius.
-
One factor to consider when we talk about bubbles. Not all investors are dumb, but the smart ones know when to put money in a bubble, and when to sell and run away. That makes it pop even stronger.
-
My personal fear with AI is that people won't care about what's good, and studios will create shitty AI scripts for movies, then move to shitty AI animation when they can, and so many people will hop on it that it's all we get.
-
I asked ChatGPT to write effective business letter. The result is cliche-filled, wordy letter that I still need to edit.
