You know what maybe I was being reductive just now

Also they like the things he says he's going to do

People are desperate for a plan. People voted for Mamdani, despite him being labelled with every political non-starter word the establishment has dreamed up over the past hundred years, just because it seemed like he knows what he's doing. Plus a smile that could light up Times Square

Ma'am this is a Wendy's

Hey Hank, maybe you can find the information about how AI is going to take over the world. The real hard data. I'm sure it exists.

Mr. Onion I'm starting to think they don't take us very seriously.

Exactly that. That's what I keep telling people to try to get them to understand that, despite what it looks like and how people keep conceptualizing it, LLMs aren't doing anything that even *looks* like thinking. They're not going to become conscious. They're just generating answer-shaped responses

Yes! It's important to understand why you should never want anything less than to make a billion dollars.

Here's PIRG researcher RJ Cross getting the Alilo Smart AI bunny to tell @savanahsellers.bsky.social about S&M, the FoloToy Sunflower Warmie telling me it is actually both a cactus and a teddy bear (???) and the Miiloo spouting the CCP line on Taiwan.

Well let's start with taxing all the billionaires and see what happens from there, you clueless fucking muppet

Something something small government.

No, you dipshit, they won't, because "agentic AI" doesn't work and never will. LLMs are a dead- end technology and everyone pushing them is a liar.

But unfortunately for him, no one would ask him to.

AI doesn't eat jobs, Hank. The vast majority of places "replacing" people with AI are just cutting the jobs because the economy sucks or offshoring. The giant boxes destroy the environment and suck energy like a cyberpunk vampire, but stop making the mistake of thinking AI actually does anything.

I keep trying to explain to people what a neoliberal is and I think I just got the perfect video for it.

Joseph.
