YouTube is absolutely unusable. It’s like that episode of Black Mirror where the guy is confined to a small room, and forced to watch ads on repeat. Egregious UX.

Somebody from ’xAI’ trying to recruit me on LinkedIn… Told them thanks, but I wouldn’t work for a company associated with Elon if they offered me half of his supposed net worth in compensation. I’d rather rummage through bins on the streets than work to benefit that fascist sack of shit.

i simply find it a little hard to believe that shortly after every website implemented ai code and fired a bunch of engineers they all started breaking constantly every single day but its not related to the ai code or the skeleton crew

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

Turns out writing prompts takes as long as writing code, and copy-pasting AI slop without understanding it makes you worse at your job. Who could have possibly seen this coming? Oh right, anyone who's actually had to debug production code.

Adobe is a parasite that can only exist in a dead antitrust environment. It is a company that specifically profits off of trapping customers in horrible contracts to access increasingly more-buggy software that creatives still need to do their jobs. www.wheresyoured.at/hatersguide-adobe/
As I’ve previously said, framing Adobe’s issues as “AI-related disruption” allows you to rationalize a company built on fucking its customers and acquiring other companies, and which is now facing the limits of gravity. It’s emblematic of a software industry that constantly tests the limits of good taste and consumer happiness, and how far one can take a business through usury, deception, exploitation and rent-seeking. 

Adobe is no longer the company that revolutionized printing, or digital documents, or digital photography, or digital design — it’s a parasitic entity run by losers selling its software based on egregious monopolies and taking advantage of the death of antitrust. 

In a just society, the current form of Adobe would be impossible. The future that I desire is one where companies are unable to become this big, where acquisitions are a rarity and face scrutiny so severe that they’re only possible with good intentions and clear explanations of how this won’t end up fucking over the user.

I genuinely hope this company collapses, and based on every designer and photographer I talked to while working on this story, I think everybody will celebrate if it does.

I agree with Klein on principle that it's bad for democracy to think of your opponents as evil but… what happens when they're actually evil? What happens when all they do is lie, cheat, steal, abuse and kill, and take your good faith as a sign of weakness? Debate your way out of it?

Our 2-tier society is now on full display. If you’re rich enough, nothing can touch you, not even being a nonce, or massive distribution of child porn. The longer the impunity persists, the more their only-power-matters worldview is validated, the more brazen they will be, and the worse it will get.

Therein lies the rub: AI cannot have “ideas” of its own. Every “idea” you thought AI had came from a person, either through prompting or theft. The way to jumpstart the “idea machine” is to have people focused less on survival and more on living passionately.

Having to just watch them do this is actually painful. Pumping absurd amounts of money pointlessly into data centres, creating a circular nexus of funds, inventing opaque finance vehicles to hide the 10am-in-Paddy-Power reality of what they're doing. Obscene.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

One of the biggest cultural issues we have is that no major media or journalistic institutions have been reinforcing norms of what things *should* look like. That corruption isn’t normal, that cronyism isn’t normal, that lies and scandals should be punished, that incompetence is disqualifying.
