"i've now got an ai assistant running for me 24/7 and now i don't know how i'd do anything without it" omg omg you say that like it's a good thing that's going to end well for you

these people are real and grifting with "ai bootcamps" right now

[Gast]

if it gave you superpowers i think it would be more obvious, but all you've done is relinquished control of your critical thinking to a giant corporation that only wants to extract rent from you

[Gast]

"code is easy now" counterpoint, no code is not easy you are just choosing to view maintenance and reliability and everything the llm can't do as an externality that somehow doesn't matter. code is still very hard

[Gast]

@ana I woke up one day and said "Claude, go grift" and now I'm running a bootcamp because that's what it came up with

[Gast]

@ana My brain reads it as "AI concentration camps"

[Gast]

@ana to be fair if you believe in this thing but can't come up with "ChatGPT, tell me how to get really good at AI", I don't know what to say

[Gast]

@Undercat i can't be the only one that finds the military reference really icky

[Gast]

oh you didn't make any of your slides yourself. you're proud of this too. not sure if it shows because i'm not paying attention to them now

[Gast]

@ana You aren't, and that crap is endemic to modern corporate lingo. In my own admittedly anecdotal experience things like that were the result of putting ex-military MBA holders in charge of everything.

[Gast]

"i argued about this slide with my ai a lot, and this is our compromise"

[Gast]

we need to figure out why everyone with ai psychosis becomes obsessed with spirals. it's really weird

[willow@chaosfem.tw]

@ana Please tell me that was a verbatim quote, it’s priceless.

[Gast]

@Willow oh this is very real

[willow@chaosfem.tw]

@ana <facepalm>

[Gast]

does anyone else see the contradictions between the two ideas "your expertise is what is really valuable" and "i've outsourced so much to the ai i wouldn't know how to do it myself anymore"

[Gast]

@ana
Feels like more right wing projection. They of course never realize it, but they're spiraling out of control of their own lives.

[Gast]

@eldersea there's definitely a lot of spiraling happening here

[Gast]

filling out the spot in my 'ai psychosis' bingo card marked 'referred to ai assistant as "she"'

[Gast]

techbros will really refer to an inanimate object as "she" before they'll respect the pronouns of an actual trans person
