Fuck AI

So much of the white collar work is frankly a bit performative in general, and doing it well versus doing it badly versus not even doing it at all is sometimes not at all possible to tell.

Thanks to mismanagement, people are brought in "in case they might be useful" a bunch of material is produced that is beyond the ken of the management who just smiles and nods because they have no idea.

Witnessed a group manage to coast on doing effectively nothing for over a year on "we are going to do analytics in the cloud" as executive after executive sagely nodded. New executive came into the fold and got the same pitch and said "ok, fine, but what analytics, with what data sources, what do you expect to get out of it?" In a rare moment of competence an executive actually dared to figure out something instead of just smiling over the buzzwords. That same executive was gone within 3 months, because broadly speaking this was a problem for his peers that mostly operated by buzzword alignment.

There's a mountain of internal project document material that must be created, but is never used, because of processes where non-technical executives imagine they can review a technical design as long as it isn't "code", or that they can fire their coders and replace with new coders if they can reference some 'non-code' document to help.

GenAI may be pretty bad, but depressingly it might not matter given how much pretty bad stuff is already out there.

"AI Slop" is not mutually exclusive with "AI fascism". Billionaires are already burning down the planet. Clearly they don't care about killing humanity on the way.

Human cloning (media) and human cloning (real life) are two completely different processes that don't have anything to do with each other. Human cloning in real life is a way to spend too much money to get something that is worse than just two people fucking.

Human cloning could be used to harvest organs and blood. I can imagine a lot of money could be made offering perfectly compatible transplant organs harvested from cloned people with O-negative blood.

Heed my warning science: If we start making flying purple babies, we will bring upon the wrath of the one eyed, one horned, flying purple people eater.

I'll do you one better by just using logic. There is no more work needed for blinding lasers, you can pick up a battery powered IR setup for a few hundred dollars and strap it to a rifle, done. Recomb DNA actually is still being studied, allow me to gesture very broadly to ALL the shit we do with yeast and I dated a girl working with M. Maydis for treating breast cancer.

Of course the problem is that you as the claimant have burden of proof.

People who say this kind of thing about claims regarding government or industry-level activities have no clue about security classifications.

How are you supposed to provide proof for something that is being deliberately withheld from the public?
