Ended up in a Corporate Memphis rabbit hole and found these satirical illustrations. Fuck.
Especially powerful in light of Facebook/Meta's role in spreading hate and violence

“A substantial patch used to imply substantial effort, and that effort was a reasonable proxy for good faith. That assumption no longer holds.”
Nearly all human input (consultations, research survey, job applications…) relied on this assumption.
Table legs painted 💙💕
Got there on my third attempt at painting an acceptable gradient. It’s much easier to make gradients in Figma than in real life on non-flat surfaces 😂
I painted a rough gradient with a brush then used an £8 USB airbrush to smooth things out. Not perfect this time but I need to remember I’m making a table for a 3 year old
Like the proverbial AK47, 'not giving a fuck' is neutral. LLMs don't make shit content, people do
If your brand is 'I don't give a fuck' (like Trump) then this will suit you perfectly
I did graph so now it's science fact
I'm noodling on the hypothesis that the overriding aesthetic of LLM content creation is "I don't care"

This is another reason why chatbots are stalling or even regressing—the training data is getting more and more poisoned from the use of LLMs to manipulate chatbots.

Random marketing × etymolgy I've learned recently:
Bikinis were named after the then recent nuclear bomb test on the atol to make the swimsuits sound exciting. Having previously been unsuccesfully marketed as 'atoms'.
Magenta was renamed after a french military victory near Milan, the synthetic dye having just been invented. I guess they didn't consider the Italian market.
