Only in SF:

- bunch of explicitly anti-social, pro-AI ads show up
- people get mad
- ads had things like ‘you’re a bad parent. Just use AI to fix your kids before they go wrong’ and ‘replace humans’
- they revealed that this was all a joke to make a statement about irresponsible AI

(Phew, right?)

- it was an elaborate stunt by a startup that believes they are ‘responsible AI’ and others are not

(Check notes)

- said startup wants to replace receptionists with AI

I AM SO TIRED

@skinnylatte But isn't that what's coming really, replacement I mean
@warmtechie @skinnylatte probably, the problem is that AI will replace us for things we enjoy and let us with tedious tasks 🙄
(I hope to be very wrong)

@M33 @skinnylatte This article spells out a (temporary) worst-case scenario and ways to build an alternative. To me it makes a lot of sense.
