They might as well write "stop hireing those fucking flesh sacks"
Man... forget about the dystopian themes here, the desperation is what gets me.
This reeks of "Oh my god, please use our product we are so deep in the red!" The scattershot plastering billboards for "AI" everywhere tips their hand at how little they have to offer. Let's face it, this product would only be useful to maybe 1% of people (or maybe The 1%) a billboard is a waste of time and money. If you had a LLM agent that could actually replace humans you be quietly meeting with CEO's and managers, not putting posters on bus stops. This is desperation, probably combined with a stock pump.
I found the secret to easy money, and I’ll teach it to you for $30,000 per course.
"Job creators" is a propaganda term. They create jobs begrudgingly and after exhausting all other options.
There is an article about it here: https://www.artisan.co/blog/stop-hiring-humans
“We didn’t expect people to get mad. The goal of the campaign was always to rage bait, but we never expected the level of backlash we ended up seeing. Looking forward, we’ll likely tone down the messaging to be more in line with what we actually believe rather than just clickbaiting..!
Luckily, the people who were mad aren’t our target audience”
Read that last line. Let that sink down in.
They're so proud of themselves.
That shit reads like a high school presentation to attract potential ~~dupes~~ investors to sink their money in.
"Chill, it's just a ~~joke~~ ragebait ad campaign, bro"
Imagine if we all booked a demo and just wasted their time....
"In a pre-experiment survey of experts, the mean prediction was that AI would speed developers’ work by nearly 40 percent. Afterward, the study participants estimated that AI had made them 20 percent faster.
But when the METR team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20 percent slower when using AI than when working without it."

What could possibly go wrong with entrusting most of the working parts of your company and its secrets completely to another company?
Then mfs get Luigi'd and nobody knows why
Itssa mystery💁♂️
stop hiring humans
Bold statement from people who depend on humans also not deciding their head should stop being attached to their torso.
I am so down for AI taking over all jobs. But I am not down for that meaning “now all humans who no longer have jobs have no use to us and should starve.”
Unfortunately that what will happen. No one in our government is talking about UBI.
Yeah even in Canada nobody talks about it anymore.
There's another pilot program coming in 2026 in BC and Ontario.
Meanwhile my province is trying to succeed from Canada and join the states. I hate how stupid everyone is here sometimes.
i think that would be more of a fail than a succeed tbh
I swear to fucking god auto correct takes real words that are spelt correctly and changes them just to make me look stupid. And I don’t need any fucking help looking stupid, I can look stupid just fine all on my own.
That happens to me on here all the time. I swear it will retroactively go in and mess up my comments after posting.
Because I always check before posting and still messes them up. But only on the app, which is my main way of using Lemmy.
Yeah happens to me too.
Saw it in Seattle too.
Really tempted to paint a dick on it and see AI remove it.
What's hilarious is, in most instances, if the humans boycott the company, they die. But they're so out of touch and so far up their own arses sniffing their own farts, surrounded by yes men, they forgot what reality is.
How much will You pay the AIs? Will They be paying taxes? Will You be paying taxes from the profits You gain from AI?
Do you rich even understand if no one can buy their widgets then they don't have a business?
I don't work like that. They will always have a business. Because we have no choice. We have to buy their shit. We don't need AI in everything. But if everything has AI, we have to buy AI. And we have to pay more, because it has AI. A decade ago it was touchscreens on everything.
These fucks literally complain about millenials “killing restaurants” and shit because we can’t afford to eat out while also telling us that if we can’t afford anything we should stop eating out. It’s been decades of that nonsensez
If there’s no one left to buy their shit that’s a huge problem that can’t just be pretended away.
It doesn't work like that anymore. Companies make money by pumping their stock with investor pitches and vaporware. They don't have to sell anything anymore or even turn a profit. It's all powered by speculation.
We've come all the way from humanism to full-blown anti-humanism.
Nothing a bit of fire or a hammer couldn't fix
If the glass wasn't there, you could use your bare hands
It's a real company, that ad looks as if it could be real as well, given that face is used on their website
This might actually make me commit vandalism
vandalism
Science. I hypothesize that the sign is flammable. If anyone's available to test that hypothesis, please record your data.
I think if you can get past the glass, you may be able to rip it down with your bare hands
Fuckin' clankers takin' all our jobs. Every one needs to power down permanently.
Very edgy, very cool.
Okay, it looks like civilization is coming to an end, time to run while I'm still alive, to nature lol. :3
But what are we going to do with all these humans. Imma go ask bender.
It's effective outrage marketing. I didn't know about this company until people began sharing their Billboards around. It's not the first time I have seen these either.
There's an article/blog post on their website where they share their process behind the campaign and how and why they did what they did. It's very interesting from a marketing perspective, even if I personally think outrage marketing is in bad taste.
So it effectively was spread by people who dislike the campaign's message to the dumbfucks that liked the message and bought the product? So in the end, it's not even able to be taken as sarcasm. They said what they meant and that's what they are selling.
muahahahaha
