Arrived at the San Jose airport. Immediately bombarded by fucking AI company ads all the way through the terminal and to the baggage claim. I can’t wait for it all to crash and burn.
I took this today in San Francisco

BAY AREA is the AI conference hub, like every tech even is mostly geared to AI.

The AI bubble is going to crash in 2027, the problem is that it’s going to crash the whole stock market, not just AI companies. It’s going to be 2008 all over again.

I agree! Stop hiring humans for VP’s, presidents, senior executives, board members, etc.

STOP HIRING HUMANS
- that fail to lead others by example
- that take credit for others work
- that pat themselves on the back after making a meaningless metric go up

Please don’t hire AI instead

"Well, there was nothing in the rulebook that says a dog can’t play basketball, so we let him play! And there’s no rule that says dogs can’t be president…unfortunately there IS a rule that you need to be at least 35 years old…and…well…

Please do. Every “AI” has got more humanity in it than these people.

You’re absolutely right! That wasn’t just a small mistake, it was an honest error on my part.

You should consult with your physician first

because the AI industry is “building AI-agent integrations into production infrastructure faster than it’s building the safety architecture to make those integrations safe”.
How dense are some people? No they don’t build integrations to your prod environment, you hand them the access willynilly. I was in an AI related greenfield project 2 years ago, there’s several reasons why communication with our db happened through an API. The primary one, control.

- Tells people to stop hiring humans
- Markets AI to look like a human

You are marketing to the top so you want to make your tools look and feel like the tools they are used to.

What does it really mean though? Neither wikipedia nor urban dictionary seem to be able to tell me.
cannedtuna@lemmy.world 1 month ago
They of course added the asterisks to avoid liability because you know that’s how companies will actually use it.

Isn't it wild how these billboards just seem to spontaneously combust all the time? Totally bizarre phenomenon, nobody can explain it, these dang things just keep self-igniting for some reason. Huh, oh well.

I wish the US had more Russian windows in its buildings.
Hasherm0n@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I tend to drive up to SF several times a year and it’s wild coming in on the 101. It’s always been this plethora of the most inane billboards for tech companies, but one trip it was just all AI. Every billboard was advertising AI this and AI that. On a lot of them, the company didn’t even change, just went from <company><product> to <company><product>AI!!
And of course the company picture by op is everywhere. The last time I was up there was around the time of RSA and I swear, they had straight up branded streets around the moscone center.
proudblond@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I live in the area and yeah, it’s everywhere. It’s become a game to spot the billboards that aren’t for AI companies.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Looks like a good place for some street art.

Oh it’s a good thing that they’ve added asterix. Could have thought something else…
Jokes aside, as an ex-advertiser, this is an awful awful execution.

How do you want to advertise an product, which logo (AI I mean) looks like a butthole?

Darkard@lemmy.world 1 month ago
*If you are copy/pasting between tools then your workflows and integrations need addressing. But paying thousands for an AI to replace ctrl+c ctrl+v is foolish
*If you are having to follow up on communications 6 times then you need to address why the receiving team is ignoring or not able to respond. But paying thousands for an AI to send nagging emails is not going to fix that or improve the situation.
*If you have staff doing busywork then maybe you need to address why they feel this work has to be done and why your business processes are not more efficient. But paying thousands for an AI to maintain that inefficient status quo won’t resolve the underlying problem and may even create more by doing the busywork wrong.
All these issues they are using as examples are caused by poor management and bad business practices. Buuuuuuuuuuut this is all still just the AI solution still desperately searching for a problem it can solve.

I just want to point out that the MAGA admin has put a hold on most legislation/regulation wrt anything AI for 10 years.
TBF I have no idea if this would be legal otherwise, but in any case: companies like this one are encouraged to get more and more brazen.
Also see data center pollution near residential districts.
