Year 1: 'We here at Aimoral are pleased to announce new tools that will stripmine every artistic work created for content and render art, music and literature impossible to do for a living unless you're selling the tools that only we have access to. Also we're donating a lot of money to the fascisto monument to fascism. Oh look, the fascists are changing laws to help us loot, what a brilliant coincidence!'

Year 2: 'We here at Aimoral are pleased to announce we will soon have tools to render all coders unemployed so employers should start laying off as many skilled workers as possible to make sure they can pay for the tools only we can provide. We woild also like to reassure everyone, without prompting, that we do not use that much water and power, oh and UbiquitOS will now start adding AI features to a 30 year old paint tool and barebones text editor because they've given us billions and need to force people to use it. Also health insurance companies are using our software to deny claims, and benefits systems are using it to avoid anyone in need of help speaking to a human.'

Year 3: 'We here at Aimoral are pleased to announce we now have contracts with the Department of War, the FBI and police departments to create a new surveillance network to deanonymyse protesters and people online. We also have a $500 million deal to operate murder drones. Also we are close to creating sentient AI that won't be evil, trust us, bro, also we're expanding data centers next to poor communities, and suing to make sure we don't have to say how much power and water we use. Humans use power and water too, waste it even, on growing food! Also the worst person in America is making an AI nezified Wikipedia and the Xhild Porn engine! Cool beans.'

Year 4: 'OW! Why are people getting angry enough to want to come to our homes hurt us!? We're just smol beans doing nothing bad to anyone!'

@Rycochet AI Booster: *says something that is offensive to anyone with a soul*

Also AI Booster: “why is everyone angry with me, this is THE FUTURE AND YOU HAVE NO CHOICE”

Also AI Booster: “why are you even more angry with me now?”

“Tech doesn’t understand consent” but taken to extremes.

There is no shared experience with these people and they are not willing to acknowledge the validity of the other half of the population.

@Rycochet “ideas” and “results driven” individuals eventually going to find out that when anyone is capable of vomiting out a half baked image or app for a half baked design, suddenly their “results” and “ideas” are far less special then they imagined.

Especially when the inevitable happens and the hyper scalers monopolise everything and relentlessly enshittify.

@FayeDrake The lack of ideas will definitely come back to bite them, when everything they offer is worse. It !y not be in the form of a Molotov, but eventually the money spigot will be turned off after some heavy losses. Nvidia video card based loans are only good for the short life of the card.
