Don't forget about how the presentations for Google Gemini and OpenAI Sora and Devin were all ~~faked~~ embellished too, but no one talks about that anymore either.
I'm still waiting for even one actual use-case for sexy Clippy that isn't generating SEO spam while speedrunning climate change.
I swear to god, starting a nature vs. nurture debate in a place leaning even slightly libertarian just breaks my brain because I never understand what point they’re even trying to make.
Half of them seem to argue that this is proof rich people stay rich and poor people stay poor (although I fail to see from which side they’re coming) while the other half uses it as thin-veiled excuses to be racist without mentioning race.
Oh look, another company’s “we won’t data scrape against our users’ wishes to feed spicy autocomplete” mask has just crumbled. I am so surprised.
Let’s see how many of my comments I can delete or overwrite with garbage before they ban me.
How is this not satire?
This is what I ask myself every time I read any of this techfash nonsense, but then I remember that this isn’t even a new idea. These are the same people who once read a John Titor knockoff shitpost on Reddit and thought, hey, that’s a brilliant idea and we should totally do that.
I’m pretty sure there’s even a post about it on old SneerClub or probably TechTakes.
“A huge win would be a Gray Pride parade with 50,000 Grays,” said Srinivasan.
How many farts do I need to huff before I am able to say this with a straight face?
Do you want to know what Prabhakar Raghavan’s old job was? What Prabhakar Raghavan, the new head of Google Search, the guy that has run Google Search into the ground, the guy who is currently destroying search, did before his job at Google?
He was the head of search for Yahoo from 2005 through 2012 [...]
Christ on a stick, the fucking lore I'm learning today. I had never heard the name Prabhakar Raghavan before, but it seems like this dude has been the man behind the curtain in my life for a while. I used to use Yahoo before Google in the early 2000s before it became shit, and then I used Google until it became shit. I hope he doesn't end up applying at DuckDuckGo next season.
Okay, that was actually funny, even though I understood zero of the in-world references. Is the whole SCP project like that or is this one an outlier?
I was of the impression that it's just X-files meets bad creepypasta (I remember the one from years back where some paper-mâché statue chased you around when you weren't looking at it) and never paid much attention to it.
AngryGF, which offers its users the uniquely unpleasant experience of getting yelled at via messages from a fake person.
Is this the point where the Singularity bros claim that the first iteration of the Matrix where everyone was happy was rejected so naturally the only way to make it work is to introduce suffering?
I used to believe public institutions like the WHO wouldn't jump onto any stupid bandwagon, but here we are.
But at least they acknowledge it's all bullshit on their own website, lol.

So apparently when you install Logitech's mouse driver software, it'll now come with Logi AI Prompt Builder.
Mastering prompt building enhances your efficiency and creativity.
Did you know that 9/10 promptfondlers use a mouse?
Chief Vision Officer sounds like a fluff title you give to an old senior partner you can’t legally fire but want to keep as far away from any daily business as possible.
And we can do all of that by just scaling up autocomplete which is basically already AGI (if you squint).
But it shouldn't surprise me that their benchmark of intelligence is basically that something can put together somewhat coherent sounding technobabble while being unable to do something my five year-old kindergartner can.
Yup, basically AGI.
