RSS BotTurns out Generative AI was a scam
what works with my normie “what’s the big deal” is the following analogy:
this is akin to cleaning out your snowed-in driveway with a twin-engine afterburner from an F14 Tomcat - holy shit, it actually cleaned the thing! saved me a buncha time! and it cost pennies!
yeah, but:
- gas is subsidised by Northrop-Grumman’s investors for the first year or so; afterwards it’ll cost you dearly. and the maintenance, madonn’
- there are no city snow cleaners no more and no store is selling shovels
- it obliterated all the trees and grass and critters and shit and damaged parked cars
- you polluted the shit out of your sight line, nothing will grow there for generations and the runoff poisoned every body of water this shit touches
- now you gotta clean the burned shit
- nobody in your neighborhood can get no gas no more; there’s some two boroughs over, but it’s 3x the price
- nobody can fix their cars with cheap parts, all raw materials go towards NG’s production/maintenance
- the “explode” and “afterburner” buttons are kinda close together so the former happens eventually
- everybody says you’re fucking loco and fucking stop with that shit but everytime you press the blast button, a pleasant “you’re so awesome!” voice booms and it makes you feel very special
WalleyeWarriorIt actually doesn’t remove the snow, which I think makes it a PERFECT analogy since you’ve wasted a shit ton of energy on the flashy,expensive, idea instead of just doing what actually works.
What if you used a flamethrower as a snowblower?
I read it as melting snow, not just getting it off the drive way. But just blasting the snow from your driveway onto to street won’t be a ton of help either since that still needs to get plowed.
