I don't know who needs to hear this, but opposing GenAI is not about opposing technology, it's about opposing capitalists.
GenAI is not a technology: it's a massive automation of theft, masquerading as an industry, run by grifters.
Don't hate computers, hate the capitalists behind the curtain.

Weird that writers and artists are consistently acceptable losses when it comes to which battles to pick. Are you so gullible as to think that "placeholder text" and "moodboards" are where execs expect this to stop, or are they waiting for this shit to be 'good enough' to replace their workers?

If there's a better feeling in life than tinkering with a mechanical component trying to isolate and then replicate an inconsistent hitch in the mechanism while slowly losing your mind because you can't pin down why the mechanism is having issues I don't want to know what it is. 🤪

IMO, it raises the question of how useful are executives?
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.
We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

I hate how distrustful AI has made me of media in terms of looking for signs of AI being used in its production. I want to support human made visual design, music, movies, video games, etc. and obnoxious tech-bros are making that harder every day.

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
