Trump's endorsed candidate repeating "Cali-Fordable!" in a smarmy accent for five months.

Hell yeah, brother

There was that time on Bill Maher's show when Andrew Sullivan kept dramatically squeezing his own ass on camera during the after-show chit chat.

That's what Tiny Andrew Sullivan being in the general would be like, for five months.

"CaliFordable!" he shouts, then whispers under his breath "bloody ignorant yanks love this shit"

Tiny Andrew Sullivan tells people he's Ravenclaw, but only because he knows he's Slytherin and lying about it is hella Slytherin.

suspension?

Didn't catch it. What'd he say?

I hope it ends up as Steyer and Tiny Andrew Sullivan for the general. That seems mildly entertaining

Felt a lot better about Steyer, was disappointed by Bercerra and Porter. Hope Bercerra gets second place.

I noticed that you recently changed your posting style to drop capital letters and punctuation. Probably just a weird coincidence and not a heuristic that an AI model might be trained on

There's no fingerprint in plain text to determine how it was composed.

"AI" detection tools are "AI" — this is meta-slop.

a man in a hot air balloon with a blue shirt on Alt: Man in a hot air balloon basket. A jet shoots up behind him. It's meant to be flames. Take it in the context of the skeet.

The most commonly used hot air balloons have a volume of around 2800 m3, so global human fart production rates would fill one in less than ten seconds. 5/6

The core problem here is that everyone but you is high off their tits.

These people are marketing a set of heuristics as a machine god that will replace humanity.

It's valid to use a heuristic to reject their products.

People hate the "AI" that grifters used for their chatbot branding. That sucks for the original term as a way to refer to the underlying discipline and tooling, but them's the breaks. "AI" now means sleezy grifter. Use a new term.

Rejecting a specific product has nothing whatsoever to do with George writing some code.

Again—there is no "AI"
AI is an unfortunately named CS sub-discipline which was abducted by grifters as a marketing term.

ChatGPT, Grok, Claude are specific products. It's perfectly fine to hate their vibes.

"that product and the people making it have bad fuckin vibes" is an actual reason to reject it. It many cases, it's a better reason than the material ones people use.

The people building and selling the chatbots are thinking about AI entirely in terms of vibes.

You would be right to critique them for this. But for whatever reason, you're focusing instead on consumers who find their vibe-products rancid.

So it goes.

If you think this is merely a semantic dispute, you'll continue to be baffled by the widespread revulsion and rejection of "AI"

Call the real stuff "deep learning" or "advanced spreadsheets" or whatever. It may not be fair, but "AI" now means "bad vibes."

The problem is that there is no "AI"—Altman and his ilk corrupted and misused the term for their own greasy ends. So as much as you want to rescue some underlying referent... it's too late. AI
is vibes now.

"OpenAI is bad therefore ChatGPT is bad across the board."

That's vibes. It may not be valid, based on all possible specific use cases of ChatGPT. But it is a perfectly reasonable reaction.

You cannot effectively separate Claude Code's output from Anthropic's CEO confidently announcing that Claude will eliminate all entry level coding jobs within a few years. That promise is part of the product!

It's fair to hate those vibes

I am talking about people's emotional stance toward "AI"

I'm pointing out "AI" currently includes all the bullshit spewing out of Altman and Musks vacuous holes. I get that you want to separate the real tech from the lies and hype. Sadly, that is not possible with "AI" today—it's a vibe product.

GMO food is not being marketed with vibes.

The chatbots are being sold *entirely* based on vibes. If the AGI post-human vibes stop and these are seen as limited, marginally useful tools, lots of billionaires will go broke.

It's legit to hate a vibe based product due to the vibes.

There are material reasons to hate Grok in particular, yes.

What I'm pointing out is that bad vibes are *also* a perfectly valid reason to do so.

Someday soon there will be powerful enough open source models able to run more or less locally that can just do specific tasks reasonably well without trying to be a cult leader or an edgelord grooming system.

Till then, it's absolutely valid to hate Grok based on vibes

These "instances of use" are how every "AI" product is marketed. It's the core of what they are and the basis of their economic existence.

If Sam Altman gets to build an empire on vibes and lies, it's perfectly valid to hate his product due to the vibes and lies. 🤷‍♂️
