sometimes i remember generative ai exists while im doing smth and i get so frustrated n caught up in it for half an hour about how huge it is despite how little it contributes n how redundant it is, like we were just fine 5 years ago but nooo big corpo need more money!1 so they rapidly develop and invest in artificial “intelligence” that generates images and code etc(not even tryna disguise how you wanna replace artists and coders?!) so that no one - or no employer - has to pay for.. like. anythting? generative ai is hyped up as being super duper smart specifically to attract people n make em go “hmmm maybe super duper machine is better than academic resources because it’s ai so it’s gotta be smart” and so these people engage in it and make these bullshit ai companies money and rn i’m so frustrated n i’m like “we should assassinate sam altman luigi mangione style” because lets be honest CEOS HAVE NO SOULS or EMPATHY they only have empathy for their MONEY which they prob have SEX with
