Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

They’re targeted at execs. It’s execs who get all excited that they can start firing their expensive and pesky developers that complain so much.

Your corporate boss just saw an article about AI (yt short)

Painfully accurate. All I keep hearing from my boss is, "We're falling behind. Everybody else is already capitalizing on AI and we're not." If I ask what our competitors are using it for then it becomes clear they aren't. It's the other companies at conferences that he's comparing us to, with use cases that aren't even in our industry.

yt short

may shorts forever die writhing (along with the people that made it happen)

such a fucking abysmal format, coming along only because ~~twitter~~ ~~periscope~~ ~~facebook-lying-to-everyone~~ ~~quibi~~ "tiktok" popularity made every bigtech shitlord feel product fomo and decide they had to do it ritenao just in case they miss the next big thing, despite afterward still sitting on the exact same extractivist bullshit as their source of money as before

Yes. Not totally sure if this was a short of just a vertical vid, but those also suck.
