“A huge win would be a Gray Pride parade with 50,000 Grays,” said Srinivasan.

How many farts do I need to huff before I am able to say this with a straight face?

Do you want to know what Prabhakar Raghavan’s old job was? What Prabhakar Raghavan, the new head of Google Search, the guy that has run Google Search into the ground, the guy who is currently destroying search, did before his job at Google?

He was the head of search for Yahoo from 2005 through 2012 [...]

Christ on a stick, the fucking lore I'm learning today. I had never heard the name Prabhakar Raghavan before, but it seems like this dude has been the man behind the curtain in my life for a while. I used to use Yahoo before Google in the early 2000s before it became shit, and then I used Google until it became shit. I hope he doesn't end up applying at DuckDuckGo next season.

Okay, that was actually funny, even though I understood zero of the in-world references. Is the whole SCP project like that or is this one an outlier?

I was of the impression that it's just X-files meets bad creepypasta (I remember the one from years back where some paper-mâché statue chased you around when you weren't looking at it) and never paid much attention to it.

AngryGF, which offers its users the uniquely unpleasant experience of getting yelled at via messages from a fake person.

Is this the point where the Singularity bros claim that the first iteration of the Matrix where everyone was happy was rejected so naturally the only way to make it work is to introduce suffering?

I used to believe public institutions like the WHO wouldn't jump onto any stupid bandwagon, but here we are.

But at least they acknowledge it's all bullshit on their own website, lol.

So apparently when you install Logitech's mouse driver software, it'll now come with Logi AI Prompt Builder.

Mastering prompt building enhances your efficiency and creativity.

Did you know that 9/10 promptfondlers use a mouse?

Chief Vision Officer sounds like a fluff title you give to an old senior partner you can’t legally fire but want to keep as far away from any daily business as possible.

Microsoft is trying so fucking hard to push AI that it's become pathetic at this point.

For some reason I still get those stupid GitHub emails even though I think I've unsubscribed from them ten times already, and it's always the same crap about "93% of developers agree that AI is making them 67% more efficient", or "86% of code is now written with the help of Copilot", or "420% of our users generate sexy catgirl porn on company time". And there's never a source for these numbers.

Meanwhile, even the most AI-hyped marketing bozos in our company agree that Copilot is fucking useless. Even asking it so sum of some Excel rows takes more time than just writing the stupid macro yourself, and you have to double-check the macro it writes anyway.

This really has shitty Kickstarter vibes, where they make up even more insane crap every update just to get people to pledge more while they're burning through their funds without delivering anything they promised.

It annoyed me enough to move my own repos all over to Codeberg, so I guess that's something at least.

Ilya Sutskever also sings AGI chants in the lab and continues to suck major VC dick together with Altman to get more of that sweet moolah to keep developing their chatbots.

Even though he’s apparently very concerned about extinction risks.

In other news, please give me money so I can build a nuke in my basement, which might be powerful enough to blow up the planet, and I’m very concerned it will, trust me, I totally am, but don’t forget to give me money because otherwise I can’t build that nuke that I’m very honestly concerned about.

Also that nuke might be slightly sentient if you squint.

Ah, damn, I even read that post. Must’ve slipped my mind because I just saw this on Reddit.

Hey Clippy, write my paper for me.

Source (the paragraph right before the conclusion).

I hate that you can't mention the Fermi paradox anymore without someone throwing AI into the mix. There's so much more interesting discussions to have about this than the idea that we're all gonna be paperclipped by some future iteration of spicy autocomplete.

But what's even worse is that those munted dickheads will then claim that they have also found the solution to the Fermi paradox, which is, of course, to give more money to them so they can make their shitty products ~~even worse~~ safer.

Also:

AI could spell the end of intelligence on Earth (including AI) [...]

Somehow Clippy 9000 that's clever enough to outsmart the entirety of the human race because it's playing 4D chess with multiverse time travel, is, at the same time, too stupid to come up with any plan that doesn't kill itself in the end, too?
