A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Guy who yells about AI being shit

Yells with citations, at least. He definitely lead a point, but hes using available data to do it.

Everyone these days wants to shout and have their opinions heard. The only ones that deserve a modicum of your attention are the ones that post citations with their opinions.

I read one of his novels, I mean blog posts, once. It was so long I had to get a screen reader to read it to me like a podcast because I just didn't have the time to scroll through that wall of text.

I was nodding along the whole way. Yeah yeah it was all stuff I agree with. But there was not a single original thought in that ~1 hour of screen-read text (at 150% speed no less). I felt like I had wasted my time bothering to read this novel, I mean blog post.

If you are a choir that wants to be preached to, and you want to hear someone with a name that other people recognise play the greatest hits of your anti-AI sentiment then it's great. Otherwise, you're really not missing anything by ignoring every single thing posted here under his name. You get the exact same rhetoric from the memes posted to this community and every other.

Instead I would recommend pluralistic blog (Cory Doctorow) who actually has original thoughts on the industry, the economy, and what activists can do to help their communities.

His Better Offline podcast is based on his newsletter plus additional rage, and no reading.

A guy who worked in marketing tech, so he had that exposure. But his understanding of tech is minimal IMO, he just yells about AI and big tech so this place latches on to him.
