Today I learned that the great Wendy Liu aka @dellsystem.bsky.social has a regular column about AI industry billboards in SF in the @bayareacurrent.bsky.social. It's such a great way to examine these companies and AI culture in the valley and the Bay. I'll be reading them all now:

Tech companies used to portray themselves as do-gooders. But as Palintir's new billboard suggests, their commitment to domination was there all along. Welcome to the Great Tech Vibe Shift, our most recent Tech Billboard Decoder column by @dellsystem.bsky.social www.bayareacurrent.com/tech-billboa...

For months, a startup named Artisan has covered San Francisco with billboards saying “Stop Hiring Humans” and “The Era of AI Employees Is Here.” But does their product live up to the hype? For Bay Area Current, Wendy Liu @dellsystem.bsky.social investigates. bayareacurrent.com/ai-tech-comp...

AI Company’s Billboards Say Workers Are Disposable. But Are We?

Residents hated them, and residents were right. These billboards suck — and our rage is their gain.

I hate these billboards so much. Great article from @dellsystem.bsky.social "If enough wealthy people believe that some idea will change the world, then it will raise money accordingly. There’s an alchemy happening, behind the scenes."

“The message is this: if you do not understand these billboards, this city is not for you. You don’t know what an API is? You’re clearly a Luddite, stuck in the analog past. Your economic value is minimal. Why are you still here?” Excited to see @dellsystem.bsky.social has a new column!

Ever wonder what the hell SF's weird tech billboards are saying? Wendy Liu—@dellsystem.bsky.social—tells us that while the billboards aim to sell to other businesses, they have a hidden social meaning: This city is not for you: SF belongs to tech ruling class. bayareacurrent.com/the-billboar...
