cyberpunk 2077 real life update just dropped

If anybody is wondering this advert is real, it’s running in San Francisco.

The company is called Artisan. If you google them, all the reviews are horrible and suggest they are a scam company.

@GossiTheDog yes, but also is it possible to scam VCs? Moving their money from their mitts is always good.

Let them fight, etc

@GossiTheDog Greedy people get fooled by AI Scams seems to be a perfect sarcasm and satisfy story for me.
@BobbyD @GossiTheDog Yup. Anyone who reads "Artisans dont complain about work-life balance" and hands over their money deserves to get had.
@GossiTheDog people outside of San Fran need to see this. It's amazing how the inside of the echo chamber looks.
@GossiTheDog yeah it dropped while I was living in SF and after playing through the intro I was like “we don’t need Night City, we have Night City at home”
@GossiTheDog holy shit that's some grim image composition
@GossiTheDog Brave time to be an anti-humanity CEO.
@samofhearts @GossiTheDog some people are just too high on their own supply.
@GossiTheDog @rhys Nice photo! 👍 Sadly but true… I predict that in just 5 years, we'll have AI coworkers as competent as your average IT employee. Give it another 5 years, and we'll have robots doing every imaginable job. By then, we should definitely tax these new "employees" to fund a basic income! #CyberpunkVibes #DigitalArt #FutureTaxation #BasicIncome
@420 Please do not spam the digital art hashtag with drivel. Muting
@420 @GossiTheDog @rhys Nope, that's the scam narrative they want and you're being a tool promoting it for them for free. The truth is "AI" is entirely useless for anything but scamming investors and management class and fucking over everyone else in the process with the recession it will bring when, as anyone with half a brain could have predicted, it doesn't actually work.

@GossiTheDog

Ah, SF . . .

More context, if folk are curious:

> Stop Hiring Humans

https://gizmodo.com/ai-firms-stop-hiring-humans-billboard-campaign-sparks-outrage-2000536368

This is, of course, the promise of much of the AI hype. Hugely over-promising, IMO, in a lot of arenas.

AI Firm's 'Stop Hiring Humans' Billboard Campaign Sparks Outrage

People are predictably unhappy about being told they don't deserve jobs.

@dusk @GossiTheDog "Overpromising" is putting it very generously. It's an outright lie/scam. "AI" requires hiring more humans to fix the shit it makes than it would have taken to do the job right to begin with.
@GossiTheDog the IA era has begun, just kidding but wtf
@GossiTheDog can the bubble just burst already? I getting fed up with this shit...

@GossiTheDog I’m fairly sure that’s less of an ad and more of a threat.

(And also a scam, ofc.)

@GossiTheDog alt text -

Photo of a San Francisco street with an avertisement for an AI company named "Artisan". It reads "Artisans dont complain about work-life balance. The era of AI employees is here". An unhomed person is sitting on the curb next to the sign.

@GossiTheDog Well, that's certainly not dystopian.
@GossiTheDog if you made that up you'd be called cliche

@GossiTheDog Sickening Irony.

Artisan literally by definition means, "a worker in a skilled trade, especially one that involves making things by hand.
"street markets where local artisans display handwoven textiles, painted ceramics, and leather goods"

where can I transfer to the NonAIverse?

@GossiTheDog did you shoot this? If so, wow, it strangely gives me hope humans have the resilience to still "see" in a world of total despair. If anything saves us, it'll be that capacity. Sadly for the person on the shot, they've lost it. Let's hope it comes back for them. A community or rehab workshop, sometimes these seemingly futile efforts change lives.
@GossiTheDog I'm so glad my life about 2/3 over. The way this world is going, I shudder to think of where we'll be in 50 years. At least I won't be around to see it.
@GossiTheDog you're giving them what they want. they want the publicity from the outrage

@GossiTheDog

Just checked their website they claim to automate sales and marketing with AI. It does beg the question what happens when AI sells to AI?

Truly conjures that dystopian vision of factories still producing stuff and drones still delivering stuff on a dead planet absent of humans.

@GossiTheDog
That's some next level dystopian shit.
