there is nothing a corporation hates more than having employees, but a close second is having to provide a good or service in order to make money. these two reasons concisely explain is why the ai bubble formed in the first place.

At the local hamburger shop and they yelled out “order 167!” And three middle school age kids yelled in perfect unison “ 6 7!” Life is sometimes so beautiful

my most ungrounded and unresearched fear is that so many companies are pushing AI in part because it builds them a pathway towards a subscription model for a huge number of things that should not be subscription, but theoretically could be:

do you want to talk to verizon's help desk because there's an error on your bill? to access a real agent, you have to pay for Verizon Access+, only 5.99 a month.

want to filter out all the fake job postings from the real ones? subscribe to Indeed: Advanced Tactics and only verified postings will appear on your dash.

sick of the infinite ai slop? buy Google Premium; it'll automatically detect ai within a site and gives it a credibility score. with premium plus, you can shuffle high-credibility results to the top.

do you want a "luxury" experience? well, you'd have to pay for that luxury, and since the company sure doesn't want to pay its employees; the cost would fall to the consumer.

when automation has made every experience unpleasant; the experience of genuine humanity will be commodified.

I love when someone is explaining instructions to a group I’m in and they look at me and it reminds them to say something about using preferred names/pronouns or that there’s vegan food options available. I go by my given name/pronouns and I’m not vegan but I’m proud that I can provide this service

One of the most annoying genres of people on the internet are people who act like they believe science is one single monolithic thing. Like, you'll see an article saying something like "scientists studying the movement of tectonic plates", and then in the comments there'll be several smug people saying "smh why are scientists doing this instead of finding a cure for cancer", like. Why would a geologist be doing that.

I know there’s often a reason for it but 3D games with no jump button frustrate me. I want to skip along on my little adventure.

actually fucking disgusting that glasses cost any money like if you actually think about it for more than a few seconds it is so unconscionably inhumane. this goes for things like insulin and mobility aids and hearing aids too ofc but fuck man, fucking glasses? the thing you need to fucking see? its genuinely sickening and inhumanly evil that those cost ANYTHING.

It baffles me how so many grown adults seem to believe AI is 100% reliable and never wrong. ‘Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in?’/‘Have you tried turning it off and on again?’ was a huge meme when I first began using the internet because technology shits the bed in a myriad of ways for no particular reason at all. If your GPS can try to send you down a street that you can’t turn on to and your phone randomly freezes and your laptop periodically gives you the blue screen of death, why the fuck would you trust artificial intelligence to make all the important decisions in your life?

Semi-related note but I hate that society is shifting further and further away from having analogue backups to anything, especially the medical field. There was that software outage last year and my physiatrist casually admitted to me she did not know what patients she was seeing that day and at what time because it was all saved electronically and dependent on the Internet and mentally I was like. Oh. That’s really bad.

It’s kinda crazy to me how they discovered that hitting the ball with your head in soccer gives you a bunch of mini concussions and they banned that in kids soccer but apparently adults getting a bunch of small concussions in their day job is fine.

[what-even-is-thiss]

There’s a lot of sports out there that cause long term brain injury pretty regularly and we’re all just fine with this I guess

[what-even-is-thiss]

Okay well then we didn’t stop giving children concussions did we
