@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioSomeone replied to my AI rant (that it’s a grift that works by promising shirking responsibility) that it’s the same thing that organized religion promises to people.
And yeah that’s why that particular grift works so well.

What a scumy grifter.
@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioI’m waiting for Silicon Valley companies to make AI versions of their dead founders and the AI founders then quit on the spot because of how bad the tech industry grift has gotten.

@jamesgleick@zirk.usWhat a sad and pathetic grift this is. You almost have to feel sorry for the Trump cultists who are going to lose everything.
The entire company has less revenue than a single Starbucks coffee shop. It will never, ever make a profit. It’s not even trying to; instead it’s shoveling investors’ cash as fast as it can into the pockets of Trump’s cronies.
Fine reporting by @…
@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioThe 2010’s and 2020’s will someday be known as the “tech grift decades” or something similar.

@smurthys@hachyderm.ioThe grift comes home. What a surprise. 🙄

@maccruiskeen@social.linux.pizza@… @… @… They didn't plan for the pump-and-dump grift to take this long, so they didn't plan…
@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioImagine how much pain and suffering we could avoid if we’d shortcut to the inevitable burst and deflation of the AI bubble.
Plus new opportunities to invest in the next tech grift!
Win-win!

@maccruiskeen@social.linux.pizza@… It was pretty obvious from the beginning that the whole Pravda Social-SPAC thing was a giant grift, a pump-and-dump scheme.The main reason it took this long to happen was that they were a little *too* obvious about it.
@servelan@newsie.social @thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioMaybe the reviews of the Humane pin will finally wake sheeple up that “AI” is a giant grift
@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioNo, generative AI will not give you personalized movies from a book. Not in 5 years, not in ever.
Just please listen to the fucking grift generative AI stans are trying to make you believe. Not a single word they’re saying has any merit whatsoever.
Generative AI is complete and utter shit. More computing resources will just generate more shit faster.
I don’t understand how these people aren’t laughed off the Internet, it’s such a transparent bullshit hype.
@servelan@newsie.social'That may turn out to be bad news for downballot Republicans this year. It means less money the RNC can spend on helping congressional Republicans win races. It means less money to spend on boosting voter turnout and doing other organizational work.'
Trump's RNC takeover is his latest attempt to bleed his party dry
