You know that “stop forcing AI into fucking everything” graphic that went around on here?

I bought the t-shirt. I get a lot of compliments on it.

The only negative response was from a friend who works for McKinsey. She read out the “everyone hates it” and said, “do they really, though?” as we stood near the check-in table for an event, and three people in line turned around and said, “YES!”

@maco why do you have a friend who works for McKinsey lmao
Show threadmacoFeb 15
@itsmeholland you can be friends with someone for quite a while without discussing work. It didn’t come up until about 6 months ago that that’s where she works.

@maco @itsmeholland personally I would stop being friends with someone who works for a company that helped and possibly still helps ICE

Show thread✨buff dog himbo✨Feb 16
@0x4d6165 @maco like ICE is not even the peak of the evil McKinsey has been at the center of, spanning at least 30 years. It's unspeakable how there are still people who will work for these companies as if this doesn't make them accomplices. Same with those clowns who feel sad after finding out their employer PALANTIR is working with ICE. Like you didn't put together that you're one the bad guys until just now, or you still haven't? What

@maco @GeoffWozniak I think *constantly* about their claim that generative "AI" will add no less than $2,600,000,000,000 to the global economy

sure jan.

Show threadUkeleleEricFeb 16
@SnoopJ @maco @GeoffWozniak was that an AI-generated figure, or did they put the decimal point in the wrong place?
Show threadSnoopJFeb 16
@UkeleleEric I'm pretty confident that the intelligence that come up with the figure was artificial, at any rate
Show threadstandevFeb 17
@SnoopJ well that’s about the magnitude of capex that is enabling such thing as “crucial won’t sell me RAM anymore” and “where did all the SSDs go,” so it’s maybe technically correct… AI enabled venture capital spending on unprecedented levels. We are now in the “???” part of the plan.
Show threadSnoopJFeb 17

@standev the claim in the report is about productivity writ large (i.e. the total size of the global market), not capex specifically.

the capex you're talking about *might* generate new value, but I doubt it will even get within two orders of magnitude of the claimed figure. I don't even think it will break even.

Show threadstandevFeb 17
@SnoopJ oh for sure it’s a BS claim, they are just boosting on-paper economy by burning $

@maco I finally broke down and bought two (one full strength, one bowlderized for work and I recognized the artist (Dyna Moe) as a college friend of my ex-wife. You may know her from the Mad Men calendars and the Mad Men Yourself profile picture generator from a few years back. She's supremely talented!
