Tech won’t save us, but we sure could make a great start by, say, submerging 20 carefully chosen server racks in pickle juice.

I can think of one notable project I ever saw one, and that’s Bookwyrm with the Anti-Capitalist Software License v1.4.

But this seems too vague-posty to refer to something that specific. Prolly just someone butthurt over copyleft.

I hadn’t heard of square either. Are they the guys doing squarespace? No idea.

EDIT: Okay, I did hear of CashApp, and it goes without saying that you need an entire lock-in ecosystem and a crypto-gimmick around a fintech product these days.

I would assume that you will only get across a very limited amount of information. If you pack them with details they will zone out, if you can focus on very few arguments something might stick. If you have the background knowledge to bring up points as needed, that’s great of course.

If I would try to sway some business people, I’d try this angle: AI intensification creates a dependence on your AI model vendor and endangers your human capital. Your AI vendor is knowingly selling you broken goods, so they can satisfy their desperate bubble economics. Your people are (on average) dabbling with AI, but diving into it too much can cause mental health issues (an in-progress paper trying to look at this [1]). And furthermore you’re endangering the maintenance and transfer of critical know-how because people are burying critical business processes in slop that sort of works but noone understands (throwback to the 80s where similar things happened with classical automation [2]).

Social media didn’t invent it. When I had art and music class in school, why the fuck did I have to get graded? And why does my bumfuck nowhere local volleyball club have to have aspirations for some regional 17th league and do cardio and drills every meet? I just wanna throw ball sometimes to not get fat.

Regardless, I can’t imagine what that does to the mood on set when your director is being screwed by Markiplier.

How could he do this to Iron Lung’s wife?

I started to raise my eyebrows when the Second Brain got lumped into the AI wife pile.

Bro, I just write shit down. I am in fact taking responsibility for my schedule and handling my emotions without relying on external support. Am I turning to (checks notes…) the notebook industry for a technological replacement wife?

I mean some valid points, and some of it might explain the gendered AI adoption gap, but too much generalization.

When we use the fart app on our phone we merge with and become hybrids of human conciousness and artificial fartelligence (created by us and therefore of conciousness)

I wouldn’t say “turned against”. The summary from PwC gives the numbers, but still frames it as a challenge to overcome. And wouldn’t you know who can sell you the expertise on how to make AI work in enterprise…

Ceci n’est pas une meme.

Just plugged the RSS into my app (Feeder) and it worked like charm.

Beatiful stuff, mate! Feels otherworldly.

The AI ethics people are gonne get Microsoft then, for making AI agents interact with their horrible OS.

Danes is actually an archaic plural of Dan that was used in some germanic dialects at the time.

He should have put the printouts on display post-digestion, thus turning himself into a provocative parody of GenAI.
