“Let them eat AI.”

You think the producer was trying to be an ass? Or like, are they just that deep in the cult that they think this is helpful advice?

It's probably the latter because the former implies not huffing AI paint and I just don't believe anyone that high up making such a stupid statement isn't huffing AI paint.

it’s kind of terrifying how much power has been concentrated in the hands of people so eager to adopt such a flimsy ideological/religious cause.

Don’t be that shocked. Humans make their minds up based on instinct and emotion and then justify it later. It is common for all of us to use flimsy excuses (when better ones don’t present themselves) to rationalize our ideals.

I call out people who support the same things I do for flimsy reasons for that reason. I doubt I’m any more immune to it than anyone else, it’s just easier to spot it in others than ourselves. Shit sometimes I spot flaws in my own reasoning only when someone else gives voice to it. That’s fucking aggravating.

That being said, it’s completely self-serving and upsetting to me because the people affected are more like me than him, and I could easily be next on the chopping block, and people like that dude will give not a single shit.

Matt Turnbull doesn’t have a singular clue what LLMs do and what they should be used for. Except touching up your resume, I think that’s actually a good use for LLMs. However, he also suggested using it as a career coach and even a psychiatrist. That man is a raving lunatic.

Wow. My furnace just kicked on. Isn’t that the digital inverse of Stockholm Syndrome?

It’s funny because companies are using AI for job listing’s and are simultaneously getting swamped by hundreds or thousands of applications due to AI as well. AI is completely messing up the job application process. Not like the process was any better prior to AI but now it’s an even bigger mess
