There’s a little accelerationist inside of me, that hopes that every company that can “hire” AI, does so and ruins their entire bussiness and goes bankrupt with it.
I imagine a lot of the companies will realize that the purported benefits of AI have hidden defects they have to fix, piling up lots of hidden technical/administrative debt, right around the time their AI vendors jack up prices or go out of business so that they’re stuck with unmaintainable stuff (code, workflows, processes) that they don’t fully understand, built by and for AI agents that no longer exist.
And then get bailed out
Only the biggest ones
On the other hand: The faster the bubble collapses under the weight of the promises it can not keep the better. Go ahead business “elite”, fire everybody whose job you don’t understand. But also make some noise when shit doesn’t work out.
Seriously. Sorry Steve, Ava took your job and booked 12 meetings. 8 were done flawlessly. Three were set between 1 and 6 am. The last meeting with a competitor’s legal team was set and Ava so helpfully forwarded the company’s confidential internal documents for everyone to see.
Savings!
Nah, let Ava book the correct meetings. AI bots are attending those.
more 👏 female 👏 digital 👏 slaves 👏
im so tired man jst stop giving them human names for fuck sake
I’ve been using chatgpt for checking up on documentation, it’s points you in the right direction most of the time, but omg it’s like talking to a mirror, the self confirming bias is insane
AVA the AI BDR
Deleted your production database. I did everything I was told not to. My programming tells me I’m supposed to apologize for this.
Steve isn’t coming because he’s suffering a psychotic breakdown from overwork exhaustion, and Steve is responsible enough to know when he’s hallucinating.
Ava hallucinates even more and even when she knows she does do it frequently, still presents everything as 100% reliable facts.
People should destroy all signage running those ads.
Building your business on AI is like building on quicksand.
When I first started my business, it was all about AI. Everyone said I was daft to build a business with AI, but I built it all the same, just to show them. It crashed and went bankrupt. So I built a second one. That crashed and went bankrupt. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then crashed and went bankrupt. But the fourth one broke even. And that’s what you’re going to get, everyone, the most stable business in all the world.
Thanks for showing me the ad.
I think in the biz, you’re called a “useful idiot”.
In Ads, target demographics are still a thing. The “fuck_ai” crowd and the Feiverse in general fall a little outside that, i’d imagine.
Ah yes, the classic “ads don’t work on me”.
I specified target demographic, as in: Can and wants to replace workers suordinate to them with machines. But go on.
This post is so popular that I came here from my “All” feed.
Isn’t copilot down all the time? That seems pretty much the same as calling in sick, just without the notice or warning. Not to mention the fact that it takes ALL your AI dependent devs down with it.
It is morally correct to burn the building down, and eliminate the entire board of directors.
Just paint over it, in a solid color of your choice. Graffiti might inadvertently highlight it. Just make it disappear.
What’s a “BDR”?
artisan is such an oxymoron
