I remember when NFTs hit and once we understood how they worked (a receipt for a purchase without an establishment of ownership of anything at all) we immediately got it: you were selling star-naming as a tech scam.
And you said that wasn't true.
And it was.
We *remember,* assholes.

In short we don't like "AI" because we can see a fucking used car salesman coming a mile away and yet you keep insisting there are five lights.
We're not all stupid and we're not all gullible, and we won't blindly accept an obvious scam.
You fucking ruined every product you've touched you assholes

It's a black box and you won't disclose how it generates answers even though that process can be manipulated.
You've crammed dozens of disparate technologies under the same "AI" banner despite them being unrelated, damning them all.
You blather fantastical nonsense simply to encourage hype.

It's bad for the environment.
It makes products worse but you won't admit it.
Even if it could improve them you won't take the time to properly test them because you're rushing to beat the end of the bubble.
You have no viable business model.
You're ruining the hardware market needlessly.

Why don't we like "AI?"
You try to put it into everything in nonsensical ways.
It doesn't work the way you claim it will.
You don't pay for the work you use to generate it.
Your intent is labor reduction without a contributory return.
You know it's unpopular so you try to hide it.
You lie about it.

Every person suggesting using AI to generate survey questions in a discussion.
Every person pulling up ChatGPT to come up with "suggestions" in workshops.
Every academic using it to review papers.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Here's a note I sent to our members about what we did with their money, and why we expect the Onion to outgrow the Washington Post.
We keep doing weird, hard shit — taunting ICE, yelling at Congress for not taunting ICE, buying bad websites — when nobody else does.

in a reasonable world the Trump admin would be catching enormous amounts of shit for their decision to deploy the national guard now that this has happened, rather than the media helping manufacture consent for them ending all refugee programs

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
