BurtonJ @tonjohn.bsky.social · 14hThe best part is that it doesn’t actually work for them, the hallucinating sycophantic dopamine machine just makes them think it does while it’s destroying their critical thinking and creativity… 😮💨 020
Reposted by BurtonJEvan Urquhart @evanurquhart.bsky.social · 18hI'm increasingly frustrated that people who are anti-AI aren't being taken seriously, and taking a page out of my thoughts on why the anti-trans backlash got as far as it did I'm starting to think the anti-AI side isn't extreme enough. 471768317

BurtonJ @tonjohn.bsky.social · 30/09/20265 years of people talking to bots instead of each other for everything. Might as well replace open offices with pods… 010
BurtonJ @tonjohn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Huh, I guess Apple really doesn’t want me to have downtime 😮💨 000
BurtonJ @tonjohn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026What happens in 5 years when there are no more juniors and all the seniors forgot how to code? Who will innovate? Who will keep the ship afloat? It’s deeply concerning how short term organizational leaders are thinking. 210

BurtonJ @tonjohn.bsky.social · 20/09/2026It’s a really cool tech demo that execs and investors decided to go all in on not realizing LLMs will never be anything more than a cool tech demo. 010
BurtonJ @tonjohn.bsky.social · 19/09/2026It’s wild how every person who I’ve talked to that uses AI at work somehow still works 50+ hours a week. If “AI” is truly making us more productive why are we still working overtime? 131
BurtonJ @tonjohn.bsky.social · 19/09/2026It’s insane how quickly the world embraced hallucination machines that are nothing more than a glorified tech demo into every facet of our lives 😮💨 020

BurtonJ @tonjohn.bsky.social · 19/09/2026It might make you feel this way but all of the data to date shows that its a net negative both your business and your brain. Maybe it helped get an MVP out quickly but you are accruing tech debt at an alarming rate that will eventually topple your business. 090

Reposted by BurtonJSpencer Ackerman @attackerman.bsky.social · 18/09/2026This is a really important story. You know how over reliance on AI makes you lazy and stupid? This shows how that’s happening within the military — a military, it cannot be pointed out often enough, that’s growing ever more reliant on AI.

BurtonJ @tonjohn.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The PR line is going up while bugs, stability, and customer satisfaction lines are going down. Where’s the earnings call that goes like, “we made record profit thanks to genAI”? 210
