Distracting furry art is distracting.

Algorithms really got Gen Z to stop spelling “fuck”, huh?

Dropbox is considering using cognitive training tools, like memory exercises and attention-span training, to keep them mentally sharp.

You know, work can be pretty good as memory and attention exercises.

Don’t forget datacenters being bombed as military targets.

I kind of like this one. But every time I see I Rivian I have to avert my eyes.

The Blur Building is pretty cool. I’d really like to see that in person.

So many managers

For agents (semi-autonomous) I think it’s more similar to introductory developer docs. Which are usually committed.

All day, every day, exactly 8 hours plus mandatory breaks, employees on autopilot listening on ear buds.

Living under a bridge in a box sounds like a better life.

Again, it was AI answers and a reddit post.

The other day I went to talk to some subject matter expert because I wanted an experienced human’s knowledge and perspective on my problem. They literally just read me Reddit posts and Gemini search results to answer my questions. Even turning their laptop and being like “see?”

What a waste of everyone’s time.

Good news for retail investors.

hmm, I should watch that again.

We’re all just crabs in a bucket

It’s become particularly nasty with generative AI, however, because now said CEOs can still see an end result that mimics the thing they don’t understand—and are able to self-delude themselves into thinking it’s replicable at scale, or that it’s even producing the same quality as the product they’ve actually been selling.

I think that’s well said. The shit that comes out of these things is often “good enough” and until there’s real reckonings with that not actually being good enough, it’s gonna keep going.

I’m waiting on (almost hoping for one sooner rather than later) a large systemic failure that nobody can ignore. Like stock market collapse due to AI agent fuckery or a bridge failure because the engineer just asked ChatGPT to hallucinate a bridge and assume it was good enough.

If not, I wonder if we’ll just have a slow degeneration until nothing makes sense and there’s trash piles everywhere.

Go away, 'baitin

I miss groklaw. We’d all be feasting right about now.

I’ve just discovered this interesting concept called “reading the article”

Spread the word my brother! You’ve got to let everyone know about this new fad!

“Normally what would happen… is like one cop would have heard that, flip on the blue lights, race down there… and someone’s about to die,” [Flock CEO Garrett] Langley explained, describing a case in which a woman called 911 on a man, who later turned out to be holding a lighter, not a gun, as initially suspected. “Instead, they launch the drone.”

Langley claimed that “we have thousands and thousands of stories like that where communities are safer now with our drones. They’re safer with our cameras.”

That’s your prime example of a community becoming safer? The cops droning a mf because he lit a cigarette and some Karen panicked? You’re the CEO of the fucking company with like the worst PR and you say this shit.

Best day ever.

Unironically.

Does anyone get anything from “AI says” articles?
