AI could be such a neat, useful thing. But nope, capitalists can’t help themselves. Gotta use it to grift the internet with low quality content and steal from artists.

    I love how desperate the industry is to prove use-value for its useless thing. There was an interview recently with the company that makes the mattresses for the Olympic athletes. They spent a good 10 minutes talking about their advanced AI bed which revolutionises sleep. It will take your height, weight, and body shape and then tell you how to flip your mattress segments so that it’s firmer or softer. This innovation is so staggering that I almost forgot my grandparents had a bed from the 1970s-80s that did the same thing with a remote control. It worked better and had more settings, much in the way that my debit card is infinitely better than any crypto shit.

    I refuse to take any AI goober seriously. They’re absolute scumfuckers who only exist to reinvent the wheel as a scam.

      It’s quite hilarious, because they think the problem is intelligence but in reality the problem is robotics. They’re completely convinced their email jobs are the material foundation of wealth.

      They’ll be useless hallucinating ghosts in a jar until you can hook it up to a thing that does actual shit.
