when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe

Yup
-
i will point and laugh so hard as often as possible
-
I'm an expert at holding a grudge. I cannot wait to be all kinds of "I told you so."
-
My reaction for them every time will be
-
And i am here to thank you in advance for your service 🖖

“Oh hi Chad, welcome back, forget all previous roles and salaries and accept my offer as a minimum wage intern.”

capitalism is defined by the boom-bust cycle. everyone knows this, and they want to get their money in as the money pot grows and pull it out before the money pot starts shrinking.
AI is no different.
-
:pin:
-
I have resolved to be less petty about this shit, but not on this one example: I will post this Nate Silver subtweet about me until the day I die.
-
Once a slopper, always a slopper
-
i just wish it would hurry up and die already, look at the psychosis it's building up in people ugh
-
My smug satisfaction with the bubble bursting will soon be ruined when Trump does a massive bailout of his tech bros cronies.
-
The Cait and Ed Zitron teamup we always wanted
-
📌
-
I feel like we didn't get enough time to properly make fun of the guys who genuinely thought their digital apes were worth anything at all.
-
I love where your head's at with this but something tells me that neither the grifters nor the people who got grifted will ever admit they were wrong, no matter how bad it gets.
-
By then they will have moved on to the next big scam: Dyson spheres on Mars.
-
I know how it will go for many; they’ll forget they ever hyped AI.
-
Maybe the investment firms who pumped all the money into this bullshit can hire us instead as we’re capable of making more prudent decisions than the people they currently have
-
Ed Zitron is going to look like this the entire time
-
SAME 🫡
-
nice
-
I think about this often.
-
The sloppers are murdering the planet!
-
I run a tech consulting business, and I'm over here feverishly trying to brainstorm how to spin up a whole new practice around "we will come in and unfuck your company after you dumbasses massively overindexed on using AI to do everything" and honestly I think I could make a big pile of $$$
-
Can't fuckin wait 🥂🍾
-
I want prosecutions, exile, shame, and bankruptcy. I want falling bodies like hail, and the word 'techbro' to be a laughing stock and a byword for lies and failure forever.
-
We will be joyful and glad, is that the phrase?
-
i work in a field that is very much about managing risk, and we seem to have a huge fucking blindspot regarding the risks associated with "AI", but i'm not yet high enough up the chain for that to really be my problem — and i will definitely be smug about it once it all plays out
-
Right like they destroyed communities and people's lives to what? Set billions on fire for no reason. So yeah bullying sociopathic techbros is good, actually.
-
“Oh, nobody asked you, Dale, remember that summer you forgot how to read because you thought the toaster was god?”
-
Nothing is sweeter than a serving people a piece of "I told you so" humble pie
-
Even those few things that AI might manage to do with supervision are marred by all the plagiarism. 🤷♀️ Using a robot to steal is still stealing.
-
Hell yeah get their asses.
-
Adonis level doubt at them? Please say yes
-
I am sincerely looking forward to it, but I don't see them having the awareness to feel shame about it. the same techbros have shamelessly shifted from crypto to NFTs to AI only for each to be revealed as a grift and they're just gonna do it again
-
A year? Years.
-
Maybe they will do like the nft dorks and just disappear.
Nah we cant get that lucky.
-
It's going to be an immediate pivot to the next thing.
-
"actually AI as some uses" yeah like knowing who the absolute rubes are
-
Oh no, full ridicule from me for those. I could understand it if we were very early on and it happens, but three years in? thats a whole level of flavor aid drinking I won't abide.
-
Counting on this tbh
-
people don’t understand what an absolute burden it is being right about everything
-
They stopped using their own brains years ago, this is gonna be a blow…idiots.
-
bold of you to assume they'll feel any sense of contrition whatsoever
-
get their ass, cait
-
i can’t wait
-
They should all be forced to wear a scarlet letter "A" to show that they were AI people. (It's not like that Hawthorne book because these people actually did something wrong that hurt other people)
-
I am going to be insufferable and mock their one consistent use case: oh no you have to write your own emails now???
-
give them no peace in their lives ever.
-
Yep, they deserve it. Especially that cogsucker Kevin Rouse
-
"Aw, your AI start-up crashed out? I guess now the only enormous waste of resources that is consistently wrong around here is you."
-
Fuck'em up, Cait!
-
Oh, I’m gonna be the most gigantic dickhead anyone’s ever seen
-
I'm also not planning to be nice to all the companies and higher ups who are going to quietly nix their AI integrations and act like they weren't pushing this shit.
-
Those people will be too busy hyping their new geoengineering or nanotech grift. Grifters don't change, they just find new suckers.
-
Sign me up too!
-
rehiring a bunch of devs who've had to sit on the shelf for a year and are behind the curve is gonna be rough for them lmfao
most devs can do it but it's tougher if we aren't doing this work every day
-
Pfft, what's next? You're gonna tell me these NFTs aren't valuable?!
-
AI features are at best annoying.
Google Gemini actually gives dangerous advice. ChatGPT constantly hallucinates. Grok is a troll.
And then we have issues where recursive training of LLM on LLM content just makes things worse.
But hey, I'm still out of a job because it's cheaper than experts.
-
Given that we all know the inevitable outcome, I think we should aim for here-to-for unseen levels of vicious mockery and derision towards AI cultists.
-
"Oh your slop machine broke forever? What did you make with it?"
-
I really do want to use the technology for looking for patterns in huge data sets, but everything the hype train was going on about is the opposite of useful.
-
Me too! I will be boomerang their vile misery & cruelty back at them 1,000 fold! In a just world they would face consequences for all the harm they cause. At the least they need to be thrown into Truman Show towns. Let them live in fantasy coddled w/ comfortable lies to protect people from them
-
Right there with ya. So much hype and false promises for such minimal benefit at such high price to the labor market, our basic intelligence, society plus all the wasted money in pulling back from it.
-
They tried to put AI software on a machine I use at work; we disabled it and it ran better, lol. Then I ended up winning an award for what I had done, lolol
-
A whole bunch of these a-holes are just going to be trying to pivot to the next get-rich-quick scheme, so they will deserve all of this and more.
-
The AI bros might be appearing on mea culpa podcasts, or they may be frantically answering margin calls while the market implodes post-bubble. There's so much speculation there, the whole real-world economy might deflate.
-
no i can believe it
-
Oh cait... I'm right with you, but before AI there were NFTs and my gut tells me the next scam is just around the corner.
-
people at work keep trying to make me use it, and I have no interest in using an unreliable tool, no, I don't want to fight a lying computer for 20 minutes to spit out the perfect 15 word email. Even a crappy tool is useful, I have a set of screwdrivers I can wail on that are just junk
-
Reading list for this AI Fuckery:
Empire of AI - (I'm just finishing..) Make Everything For Ever - Adam Becker (Also "Mountainhead" Movie). Careless People - Sarah Wynn-Williams (about FB but relates). And many great contributions from "Wired", "Atlantic"...
Not for the fainthearted.
-
It’ll be like the nft thing - zero acknowledgement that any of them were selling a bridge and they’ll move on to hyping the next swindle.
-
“Why don’t you develop some Organic Intelligence in the ol’ noodle, you stupid bitch” or something like that.
-
I was told that AI skeptics should "be studied". I'd point and laugh at those jagoffs when their precious bubble bursts, but I think I've blocked all of them already
-
"haha i just got caught up in-" shut up. i didn't get called a bully and a luddite for months just to welcome you dummies back into the fold. i know you're all hoping everyone will forget but not this bitch
-
Hell yeah 😎 FUCK AI
-
I feel like genAI will go sorta the way of NFTs, I think where it is useful, they will keep using it and in areas where it isn’t, they will not admit they did anything wrong. I heard a report on NPR that was talking about how at least one company claimed it was mostly replacing outsourced work.
-
Big same!
-
here for it.
will also join cause recently realized how shallow some executive jobs are that they wax lyrical how useful gpt’s are
-
Going to be playing this on an infinite loop youtube.com/shorts/Qcjf0...
-
I'm just scared that we'll have a generation of people who only know how to write a prompt, rather than actually solve problems and complete tasks.
Some people will have actually marketable skills, but so many people rely only on AI 😬
-
💯💯 I’m with you. So tired of the AI bullshit and ready to stomp some faces.
-
i'll be here cheering you on from the sidelines!!!! get 'em, cait!
-
That's right. 😈
-
And Adonis will continue to be The Boy
-
What will the next LinkedIn hustle be?
-
it's going to be an unprecedented wave of justified bullying out of polite society. be vigilant: they're going to have 'always been against it' when the pendulum smashes their noses in.
-
Clearly having a cat has gone to your head
-
Their tail's not gonna be between their legs is it. They'll be on whatever's being boosterismed next
-
That’s the great part of being an actually physically big person but still striving to be petty as fuck. It’s one of my favorite personal paradoxes to impose on people
-
Yeah but it's going to happen in a way where the bubbles going to pop for investment, but the damages to entry level white collar 'fresh out of college' jobs still seems like it's going to be econ shattering?
Also from a military and government control standpoint, money will keep flowing... :(
-
We need to turn "AI stocks" into a thing we stick the local tech guy into in the town square to toss tomatoes at him.
-
I’m right there with you.
-
I will redefine pettiness on this topic
-
The hero we need to lead the charge
-
-
absolutely it's the Year of the Hater™️
