Gary Marcus skewers viral essay warning about job disruption ->Business Insider | More on "AI job disruption timeline debate" at BigEarthData.ai

Posts from artists expressing anger and concern about generative AI: accusations of using AI (phrases like "accuse an artist of AI" and "weaponized followers"), experiences of hostility from "tech bros" (called "parasite"), and job-market anxiety about entry-level designers needing to "run a generative ai machine."

It’s risky because it overpromises and politicizes tech. A governor announcing a rollout of AI implies guaranteed results, but AI can fail, misinform, or bias decisions. Promoting it publicly before safeguards are tested can undermine trust, accountability, and legal compliance.

Fuck ai, but also, “if big studios don’t see the value of art, is there any hope?” is wild.

using various AI tools for work (mostly for sql queries and for generating code), I *am* very courteous in my prompts because I think it's somewhat corrosive to your soul not to be? I also thank my dishwasher sometimes.

Ok I'm fucking pissed off. Someone on the Internet Archive reviewed my video and implied that I used AI for the vocals. I did not and would never use AI for ANYTHING creative and certainly not anything I would ever put my name on. Fuck AI. And fuck the reviewer for not checking the SOURCES I cited.

AI is not a savior of the incompetent; it is a high-frequency accelerator of existing trajectories. If the vector of an engineering culture is pointed toward "slop," AI simply ensures they hit the wall at terminal velocity.

Very true: > even without AI, a whole bunch of slop gets developed out there. Especially in companies where you have deadlines. You have no idea, how much BS they create under pressure. Accumulating technical debt for decades My 'engineering' colleagues aren't good and are badly led. They can't deliver anything with quality above a certain level of complexity. AI simply means they get to their crappy solution sooner rather than later. It doesn't help them step up to a better level of quality. But the people who actually are good engineers, who understand everything you discuss, are being supercharged by AI if they are careful to understand its strengths and weaknesses

Not content to waste natural resources, they also want to waste the labor & time of artists. The message being sent now is, "don't even take a job replacing their AI slop, because the fact that they used it in the first place shows how they disrespect you, and will continue to disrespect you."
2/13/26, 08:20 PM
Musk says AI will make it so you get everything you want and wont have to work. Bullshit. Companies want AI so that they do not need to employ YOU. Their profits will go up. Why would they ever lower their prices or give you anything for free? Look what they are doing now to the USA for money.
