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 real problem: that most companies are run by people who don’t understand or experience the problems they’re solving, don’t do any real work, don’t face any real problems, and thus can never be trusted to solve them. The Era of the Business Idiot is the result of letting management consultants and neoliberal “free market” sociopaths take over everything, leaving us with companies run by people who don’t know how the companies make money, just that they must always make more." -Ed Zitron

Compulsive viewing, and if only they knew we’d be watching them today. Using AI, passengers from the ill fated Titanic are brought back to life and compared to their contemporary movie counterparts.
It’s moving and absolutely fascinating stuff…
