This world we've created seems very much an amalgamation of every dystopian sci-fi novel ever written.
Fuck AI
"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
I keep saying the tech bros learned nothing from all the sci-fi they claimed to have consumed. Were they even paying attention?
I definitely doubt Elon Musk's claims of loving sci-fi. He thought Rick Deckard was named "Bladerunner."
More importantly, he claims he loves The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a blatantly anti-corporate series of novels wherein every AI is either broken, an asshole, or both.
Tech bros see dystopian sci-fi as inspiration it seems
At this point, I have a feeling they put on a sci-fi movie, start jerking off to themselves in the mirror, then turn it off when the credits roll and claim they're sci-fi fans.
I think they took it as instructions on how to be evil.
The dystopia that’s unfolding is like bad writing and not something any self-respecting writer will put to paper
