My mom, who is in her 70s, and not particularly tech savvy, just explained that she hates Google now, because the first results are always AI, which just pulls from other sources and is usually inaccurate.
So let’s stop assuming that non-techies, older people, and mothers and grandmothers are too naive to see through the hype. Mostly it’s the tech bros and finance douches who are too stupid to actually understand what they’re boosting.
@josh0 Google's search is its #1 product. What happens when they break it completely - when *no-one* trusts it and they're up to their eyeballs in debt? This rush to AI could kill them.
@BonehouseWasps @josh0 Don't threaten us with a good time.
@BonehouseWasps @josh0 Again, don't threaten me with a good time. "Decimate the tech sector" is music to my ears. I utterly despise this entire industry/sector.
@BonehouseWasps @josh0 The internet, and supporting communication & computing infrastructure, needs to exist for real world business and public purposes that are actually productive and pro-social. Not for techbros to keep bombarding society with their latest scams.
@BonehouseWasps @josh0 Good people have had enough time to read the room and get out...
@BonehouseWasps @josh0 They're already trying to create that but with them coming out on top. I'd rather it happen in a way they crash hardest.
