Mildly Infuriating

Flown in a plane by a human.

This company is known for this. To clarify, I mean known for making deliberately inflammatory ads, then showing them as obtrusively or carelessly as possible, because it gets people to post about it.

The only reason their company got popular in the first place was when they put these ads everywhere to piss people off and generate engagement.

"The goal of the campaign was always to rage bait"

This guerrilla marketing approach, combined with traditional media coverage and tactics, led to significant success. Artisan saw a remarkable +197% growth in brand search traffic, quickly establishing itself as the most well-known AI employee creator.

I am irreplacable. I'd like to see AI drink 12 beers and disappoint my girlfriend sexually.

Ragebait. It'll sell like hot cakes.

AI can't do your job, but some saleman will convince your idiot boss that it can.

I see a lot of ads for ai slop on the subway and I refuse to engage with them. I don't look them up. Fuck 'em.

Sometimes people vandalize them and if I saw someone doing so, I don't know what you're talking about.

how much does a lazer cost?

All right. But AI is gonna have a tough time expressing my fox terrior's anal glands!

Fartisan

Why would you hire humans when you can spend a lot of money on a totally incompetent, yet incredibly arrogant chatbot instead?

Whoever thought of this should have to breath solely from the exhaust port of a data center.

Well, the goal was always to turn the universe into a dead soup that a handful of sick fucks play god in.

If that plane has a human pilot...

Flew over the may day rally in San Francisco.

Don't take the bait.

At least they are finally saying it out loud - AI and Automation is here to totally replace human workers. None of this "Your job won't be replaced by AI, it will be replaced by someone who knows AI," because that ONE person who knows AI is going to replace THOUSANDS of jobs.

I've been saying since before Covid that unregulated AI is going to cause a permanent double-digit unemployment rate of 20%, 30%, 40%, very possibly higher, and I've been savaged for it. Yet last night, ABC reported that within 10 years, there will be 170,000 autonomous trucks on the road. That's 170,000 permanently unemployed truck drivers. What are they going to do make an alternative living and match that income? Uber says on their website that they intend to replace their fleet with autonomous cars, and has a partnership with Waymo, with a plan to roll out on Atlanta soon. That's been a job that LOTS of unemployed, or underemployed people can do, and now that's going away.

And it's just the start. I just read how the tech leaders in SF are quietly worrying about the giant looming unemployment class that AI is going to produce. It's already happening with GPT-1, what's it going to be like when it's evolved to GPT-7, and it can do most jobs better than humans?

‘Catastrophe in the making,’ tech expert warns about AI

After replacing half his workforce with AI, the Salesforce CEO brought in an Elon Robot to stagger around the office and be less helpful than a toddler, then:

Salesforce’s CEO gave the robot a glowing review. “Elon’s Tesla Optimus is here! Dawn of the physical Agentforce revolution, tackling human work for $200K–$500K. Productivity game-changer!” he wrote on X.

He's so GIDDY about his dumb robot, that he can't hide his glee in replacing every single disgusting human who works for him.

Tech experts are finally voicing extreme worry about what our country will look like when there are millions of permanently unemployed people, and a government who treats them like it's their fault. The government should already be discussing this issue, and they simply won't. AI policy for BOTH parties right now is to do absolutely NOTHING. Don't even hint at any kind of regulatory policies, job protections, robot taxes, UBI, etc. And that includes DEMOCRATS.

And why are they worried? Because hungry, hopeless people will do seriously desperate things for their children, and if they band together, every single rich person will die a gruesome death. And there are a lot of rich people in Silicon valley, and beyond. When the floodgates finally open, there will be no stopping it.

The question is: How will The Government handle the excess unemployed workers? Will they have UBI, and encourage them to create innovative products and businesses? Will they create great great art? Will they recognize that by giving people a satisfying life it makes a safer America for everyone?

Or will they just decide that they want to keep those profits for themselves, and they don't want to pay for those increasingly dangerous people, and eliminate them?

Which party will choose which strategy?
