I am fascinated by this new strategy where multiple AI company CEOs have been going on tears tours this year so far complaining about how anti AI sentiment has hurt their businesses π

"Why aren't you filthy commoners simply gulping down what we're pushing so hard?" π
The disconnect, the pompous attitude.

And fascists: They sponsor Trump's terror regime and don't give a shit about their crimes, be it murder or else.

Think it through.
In their day-to-day life, who says no? Who says that's a bad idea? Who says you can't do that?
Their housekeepers?
Their personal staff?
Their circle of "friends" and sycophants?
The brown-nosers they hired in their company?
The banks?
The courts?
The police?
Politicians?
The business media and analysts, most of the time?
Brilliant idea boss. You're a genius sir. That's a fantastic idea.
They're not used to feeling rejection. They're not used to being fauned over.
And it hurts.
And they're responding with what usually works: Ordering people to stop.

in reply to AJ Sadauskas • • •Additionally, however spoiled they were being billionaires, they now all have AI psychosis where their dopamine is trained on the people-pleasing responses of AI that can be "refreshed" every time they get an answer they don't agree with. AI then trains itself on their preferences, and makes them even *more* insufferably spoiled than any human staff could possibly make them.
Essentially, rich folks are addicted to their own AI.
They've all roped each other into a pyramid scheme that's doomed to fail, and their addiction will convince them they're right until the grave, all to avoid the millions of voices saying it's a bad idea and their investment was doomed from the start.
