It’s become particularly nasty with generative AI, however, because now said CEOs can still see an end result that mimics the thing they don’t understand—and are able to self-delude themselves into thinking it’s replicable at scale, or that it’s even producing the same quality as the product they’ve actually been selling.
I think that’s well said. The shit that comes out of these things is often “good enough” and until there’s real reckonings with that not actually being good enough, it’s gonna keep going.
I’m waiting on (almost hoping for one sooner rather than later) a large systemic failure that nobody can ignore. Like stock market collapse due to AI agent fuckery or a bridge failure because the engineer just asked ChatGPT to hallucinate a bridge and assume it was good enough.
If not, I wonder if we’ll just have a slow degeneration until nothing makes sense and there’s trash piles everywhere.
Go away, 'baitin

Wow, he must be very proud
I hope you read the fine print, ya turd
What’s the fine print?
I’m a big fan of his, but I’m also not sure he’s the right person to judge what a mentally healthy, well-adjusted individual should act like.
He seems mentally perfectly healthy. Weird is not unhealthy!
Weird is totally healthy. You know what’s not healthy? Being normal. That’s fucking weird.
I’m always shocked to hear him speak about stuff because he sounds so perfectly well-adjusted, empathetic, and normal. lol that’ll show us to judge someone who makes an ascii game all night every night and has plywood over his window so he can sleep all day!
Well he’s managed to turn what he likes into a career and is financially stable, so I think he’s doing fine.
“It just reminds me of like a fucking Dead Kennedys song or something. It’s just the same old shit. I mean, they laid off my dad from the sewage treatment plant because they didn’t understand what his job was, and he was the computer guy there, and then they don’t have a company anymore, so it’s like it’s the same shit.”
Tarn nails it as usual.
Tarn seems like such a genuine, nice guy. He gets it.
