"Yet even a Business Idiot eventually realizes that too much money is being spent, and the first one of these dimwits to cut their token budget will send the rest of them running for the doors.

We should lock them. We should make everybody who obsessed over theoretical ideas about what AI can or will do ashamed for their intellectual deceit or constant ignorance.

At the end of the AI era, the only thing that will change the rot at the heart of our economy is the acceptance that the majority of companies are run by lazy, self-involved and ignorant fuckwits, and accountability for those who refused to scrutinize them."

Ed Zitron (of course). He's right. What I'd really love to do is set up the penalties for these people now. There must (I assume) be anti-AI shareholders in many companies around the world that have gone all in on AI. There are certainly millions and millions of employees being forced to use this crap, and millions more freelancers being put out of business as a result.

I wonder if we could put a thumb on the scales now by writing to all of these AI evangelists and pointing out that, unlike LLMs, we'll never forget.

And when I say "writing to", I mean real paper letters, which apparently everyone HATES receiving now, because with an email you can just ignore it but letters have to be opened and recorded and filed. And if they've pivoted to AI, who even is there in the office any more to do such physical tasks?
