I also like how #EdZitron thoughtfully compares his views of how the Rot Economy has made Big Tech an adversary of us all, versus the complementary concept of #CoryDoctorow #Enshittification. And how the concepts reinforce each other.

RE: https://mathstodon.xyz/@sjslocombe/116244573318809666

Pair this with #EdZitron 's work, and it's not looking good for #AI

I think the key point is that, even though this technology can be useful (and sometimes amazing) it is not useful on the SCALE it's being pushed at.

Has #ChatGPT spontaneously tried to take out a #contract on Ed Zitron yet?

Great quote from #EdZitron from his podcast, Better Offline:

"A disregard for the truth that comes from years of never facing a single consequence."

That cuts to the core of #billionaire and corporate culture. It's why they seem so weird to normal people. You have to first understand this […]

This is a great way to catch up with the excellent work that #EdZitron does exposing #bigtech and especially #AI for the exploitative scam bubble that it is:

I watch a lot of YouTube programming revolving around AI – really into #edzitron – and as far as I can tell there’s no demand for this AI stuff. It is entirely driven by Silicon Valley elites and unfortunately our government has fallen for it hook, line and sinker.

#edzitron is an interesting dude. If you aren’t listening to him, you should.

Sam Altman’s $1 trillion AI gamble Last week, OpenAI presented its plans to build $1 trillion of artificial intelligence infrastructure, including sprawling data centers across the U.S.

#EdZitron argues that vast sums of money being raised & spent by #OpenAI companies are not justified by the current or future capability of the #technology
“& it’s truly obscene because it’s allowed several people to get very rich, & it will fuck our economy & our markets.”

Here's another great snippet from Ed Zitron's takedown of generative Ai mania:
"Generative AI exists for two reasons: to cost money, and to make executives look busy. It was meant to be the new enterprise software and the new iPhone and the new Netflix all at once, a panacea where software guys […]

Original post on beige.party

Ed Zitron's latest post stating the case against generative Ai is worth every minute it takes to read it.
It's big.
You may need to digest it in chunks.
So far, though, I haven't been able to look away from it.
A small sample:
"Every CEO talking about AI replacing workers is an example of the […]

Ed Zitron is NOT bullish on generative large language auto-complete, now colloquially referred to as, Ai.
In fact he calls it a "money trap," and has been pulling no punches is dissing the entire industry for quite a while now.
I have no arguments to counter his.
