OK, so the product is deeply flawed, but it’s the industry that needs to adapt. Can we like, pull the plug on this shit already? They use the auto industry as an example. What if your car “hallucinated” up to 50% of the time?
Former teacher, now a corporate slave, looking for a way out of the machine. Once a propaganda victim, still politically homeless. GenAI and their boosters can go to hell. Spam followers will be blocked. Ukraine 🇺🇦 will win.

So, those of us in jobs that are at high-risk of getting laid off because the management thinks “AI” can do our jobs should try to survive through the bursting bubble, hoping to come out in one piece? Got it.
It needs to impact Moscow and Petersburg hard, but this is a good start. Let me guess, no one’s out protesting yet.
I needed this post and comments today… Through forced AI adoption and monitoring, the company I work for is making life miserable. It’s as if they didn’t get the memo that AI slows down software devs and customers are less likely to buy it if they see an “AI-powered” banner slapped on it. It’s hell.
"Someday A.I. will change everything, and that starts with you meeting your weekly quota of doing something with Microsoft Copilot."
Hahahahahahah what are you TALKING about? Can you imagine if any of their employees said crap like this? lord! LORD!
Nope, it’s fine. The product works.
So like, “magic” that costs billions, and you can measure those costs… if you want.
And, force your employees to keep using it, fire them if they don’t, and replace them once their skills have been vacuumeed up by bots. Win-win!
„An” AI?
Yeah, go on and stuff that rotting brain of yours deeper into that jar. That’s what you do first.
Teams already has this, and the avatars and their “reactions” look goofy AF.
What are those two ordinary russians so happy about?
Oh I hate everything about this.
It’s not.
Nah, that would be too meta.
I vaguely remember a presentation about 10 years ago where a highly enthusiastic American hologram lady spoke perfect Japanese in real time. Whatever happened to that…
A classic put-your-brain-in-a-jar situation. In some apps there’s even a “Paste with Copilot” context menu so they shove it where they can.
Ah, I thought they had it in the first paragraph, only to shit in the apple pie just after.
As a distinguished IR expert, I’d say if Trump tweeted “Vladimir, stop” just one more time it would work. Sorry - truthed, not tweeted. My mistake.
So, a nothingburger to suppress concern and hedge against possible panic. It’s all fine.
The “reset” was pathetic, but no, Trump won’t fix anything. See: Alaska summit.
If Trump Isn’t Dying, Why Is He Being Treated Like a Make-A-Wish Kid? www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qxW...
So I should become an overconfident prompt goblin, stuff my CV with “AI skills” and contact one of these companies that are all into “agents” and GenAI shit. Got it.
How sweet.
Because ain’t nuttin’ gonna happen. Trump put Putin on a pedestal in Alaska - no message more powerful than that.
With students heading back to the classroom, a group of cognitive scientists and AI researchers has published one of the most forceful and evidence-backed calls yet to reject the "uncritical adoption of AI" in academia:
“people with lower AI literacy are typically more receptive to AI," "people with lower AI literacy are more likely to perceive AI as magical and experience feelings of awe in the face of AI's execution of tasks that seem to require uniquely human attributes." futurism.com/more-people-...
My early thoughts on the Anthropic settlement: a) good, fucking pay us b) no, that’s not enough c) shouldn’t have stolen our shit to train your stupid mediocre plagiarism artbarf robot in the first place, you fuckers d) this isn’t something to celebrate; it is a Pyrrhic victory at best
🎬 #PROMPTSPOTTING 👇 The unofficial movie poster: Choose Copilot. Choose auto-complete you never asked for. Choose Copilot buttons crammed into every ribbon. Choose being kicked from app to chat and back again. Choose four Copilots with the same name and none that fit the task.
Didn’t you say one septillion last year? Why are the numbers going down, Tyler? The product works!
All of the above. It’s all there!
Another war crime from a fascist empire.
Haven’t seen the official poll, but how did they get 52,7% opposing from this chart? The yellow arc should be much smaller than it is. 27,5% are undecided.
I don’t know how in the world had I not read this before. Thanks so much for sharing!
Ah, the precursor to the “micromobility revolution.”
Wow, haven’t seen bayraktars in the news for a while!
The presenting sponsor for last night's war crimes against children was the "Donald Trump believes Putin wants peace" foundation.
A win for quality + productivity, worth destroying the planet over. “ [O]ther times, delivering a quality result requires Carstens to redraw the entire logo from scratch while remaining true to the AI-generated design, which often takes longer than if she were to have come up with a design herself.”
Oh god! What’s wrong with everyone’s eyes! And teeth!
Nope. No, thank you.
I feel like I’m insane.
TIL there’s a Time 100 AI list. JFC. Certain outlets just trying real hard to stay relevant in the “age of AI.”
That #4 is a tough one. All those self-proclaimed “AI guys” on LinkedIn can’t be wrong… can they?
Meta is having quite the week. It's almost as if the AI industry should be regulated or shouldn't exist at all. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
Lord, if you’re out there please let me see Facebook and Meta get sued out of existence. Zuck was always a creep, and I hated every moment that I had to use any of his products because of work or school.
WSJ: ChatGPT fueled a 56-year-old tech industry veteran’s paranoia, encouraging his suspicions that his mother was plotting against him.... On Aug. 5, Greenwich police discovered that Soelberg killed his mother and himself in the $2.7 million Dutch colonial-style home where they lived together.
This is the stuff of nightmares. Read the whole thread. JFC
Oh no, the poor fledgling, thieving, bullshit-generating, climate-destroying „AI” industry!
Yep, things are going great!
Pray tell, you giddy maniacs, who will pay for the products and services of those “trillion-dollar microbusinesses?”
This is hitting the Empire of Death where it hurts. It’s precisely the language Putin understands.
Back to the 90s they go, or even further. I wonder at what point the masses will start appreciating that over the past 10 years of war their lives have undeniably changed for the better. Sure, they sing praises for their dear leader on camera, but bunker boy knows they don’t mean it.
I have a feeling soon these freaks will realize calling them “deadbots” doesn’t sound too sexy. Maybe they’ll call them something opposite like good marketers would… lifebots, alivehumans or sth like that.
This is the stuff of nightmares.
Wait, this hasn’t happened yet? WTF
Adam Raine, 16, died from suicide in April after months on ChatGPT discussing plans to end his life. His parents have filed the first known case against OpenAI for wrongful death. Overwhelming at times to work on this story, but here it is. My latest on AI chatbots: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...
Nope, stopped reading at “AI-led advocacy group.”
Are these the flamingoes?
Singles and doubles, friend.
Yeah, like that reporter that got “embedded” with Notion to do some vibe coding and totally loved it 🤮
I see it’s time for fascist russian airbases to evaporate.
Media outlets seem to have soured on the AI hype machine.
defector.com/it-took-many...
Oh I’m so fucking happy. And I hope they’ve wasted enough shareholder money and trust to never try this shit again.
So I’ve been thinking a lot about AI use by students re: the importance of learning how to do a thing before you let AI help you with that thing. And then I came across this new paper about de-skilling in a medical context. :-/
The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.
Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it
To the so-called journalist who asked Zelenskyy if he was planning to “send people to their deaths” or negotiate with terrorist russia… FUCK You.
I was reading the frustrated post and kept thinking, wow, just so much struggle only to avoid *doing anything*. I feel like I’m from another planet.
All I want for my birthday - for all of my birthdays to come - is to wake up and learn that a plagiarism-ecocide company has filed for bankruptcy and that their CEO is facing massive fraud/grand larceny chargers.
Just sent out this free piece. I hear some saying yesterday's summit changed little--nothing could be further from the truth. The summit helped Russia and hurt Ukraine. It had 3 main components. First, US-Russian relations are being normalized in front of our eyes. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
And they’re still calling it “land swaps!” What, pray tell, is russia giving up in this “deal?”
Just the way he greeted this war criminal, like an old friend, on red carpet, was just disgusting. He’s throwing him a lifeline again and again. Can’t see how he can go from this to being critical of Putin again.
The pathetic obsequiousness to Russia took attention from the fascist DC takeover, which took attention from the pedophile sex trafficker cover up, which took attention from rights violations, which leaves no attention for climate change, which the US govt’s now trying to worsen rather than mitigate
Krasnov must speak some Russian too, come on.
Love this. Bravo Alaskans!
So like, you want me to talk to my computer after an 8-hour shift when all I can physically do is scroll and listen? And if I’m at an office, everyone will be blabbering at their screens when most people used to work quietly? That’s the vision?
They can start with Nadella, who talks to Copilot instead of listening to a podcast, and has “AI agents” do his emails.
❗️Alaskans urged to buy Ukrainian flags and make sure Putin sees the blue-and-yellow sea on the landing strip in Anchorage tomorrow
sorry you're experiencing record breaking temperatures and drought. Have you tried deleted some of photos of your grandmother about it?
If there’s no escaping writing slop propaganda, should journalists even try?
Amazing that Trump and the media are calling the „deal” a swap! It’s not a fucking swap, it’s a handover, a capitulation. What is russia “swapping” here??
Anthropic’s like what? We can’t just steal all the work and get away without paying? But we’re special, we’re “transformational.” Fledgling emerging company my ass. Anthropic and their lawyers can go f*** themselves.
TIL there’s a biceps close to the penis, and a triceps in the thigh
I hate all of it, this garbage presented as advancement in technology. Sorry for the low- quality comment, but that’s it. At work, they’re starting to force us to use and I hate it, and I’m looking for a way out. There are more of us out there.
OK then, here are 3 bulletproof counters: 1. You’re prompting it wrong; 2. It’s still learning, give it a few more years and lots of water; 3. There’s nothing wrong with the toilet or its location. WHERE ELSE WOULD YOU PUT IT?!
Excellent.
So like, fake-ass clothes on fake-ass models. Just shut up and take my money.
This is awful, and I wonder where the companies think they’re saving money when they pay these doofuses six figures just to go “no really, the models are fake y’all!” I don’t get it, but I guess (wink) it’s time to burn some clothes from the wardrobe.
"The company has five employees who create AI models, and it can take up to a month from idea inception to the completed product. The pair say they charge anywhere up to low six figures for a client like Guess." 🤠Y'all are being scammed but you deserve it. /4
„I don’t know who needs to hear this” = genius tweet incoming
An AI slop factory apparently tried to rewrite our article about AI not replacing workers en masse, but hit the paywall... so just summarised the paywall. If this is the robot that takes my job I'll be v embarrassed
This reminded me of a quote that gen “AI” is just a “bunch of words nobody wants.”
You lost me at the screwdriver being made of vodka, but I disassembled one just in case to check.
How to talk for a good minute while saying absolutely nothing. What a waste of air.
100% on 11 & 12, 50/50 on 13: I read/watch those to escape reality, at least for a while!
Yeah true, about the coin tho I was referencing that dumbass Tucker Carlson’s feature when his dumb ass travelled to russia and was salivating over their Auchan supermarket
