@cstross that monstrosity was shown in the middle of a segment during BBC NI’s “The View” last night, that consisted of local tech sector execs talking breathlessly about the inevitability of AI-driven productivity gains. I had to turn the TV off in disgust and actually went to bed feeling depressed at how utterly fucking unhinged is the sector in which I work. Why can’t these people see the blindingly obvious?

@davep @cstross Sam Altman’s only observable talent is marketing this shite to people who are simultaneously too dumb to realise they’re being scammed and in charge of the budgets he needs to line his pockets
