Right, because you don’t believe art has value or requires thinking. It’s essentially worthless to you.

What people with a critical eye for art can tell you is that the art also has well-defined tasks with explicit perimeters and rules, and generative AI produces uncreative slop that looks amateurish if you have an eye for art. It’s pretty typical for people to believe generative AI is better at tasks that they, personally, know nothing about - it’s a Dunning-Kruger machine.

Again, let’s focus on problems we can solve first. That means taking the beam out of our own eye before we go around criticizing the motes in others, or however that parable goes. We have far worse problems in our own home.

Racists like to compare President Xi to a yellow animal.

Rich people are a very solvable problem, so let’s focus on problems we can solve first okay

No I’m not? I’m painting anyone who is a doomer as a doomer, as in, specifically the people who think AGI will kill us all. They don’t care about valid issues, they care specifically about this stupid nonsense that they read about on lesswrong.com

This is a real subset of people and the meme is making fun of them, because they’re just feeding into the AI hype bubble.

No one is saying that the valid issues surrounding this tech bubble aren’t real, but that has little to do with the doomer cohort.

And no one is telling children that Jimmy is their friend and they can trust him.

… are you under the impression that doomers aren’t real? I mean, maybe they don’t really believe the bullshit they’re spewing, but they talk endlessly about the dangers of AI and seem to actually believe LLMs are actively dangerous. Have you just not heard of these dorks? They’re, like, near-term human extinction folks who think AGI is just around the corner and will kill us all.

Republicans have come to their senses. They’re not in denial anymore, they realized they’re evil and they love it.

Neither is it capitalism that’s exiling, imprisoning, and executing billionaires when they break the law. Just sayin’.

And what makes you think other tactics are even possible?

If we can’t even form unions, we can’t do anything.

People can go one of two directions under poor material conditions. They can radicalize to the left, or react to the right.

A lot of normal white people are going to react by turning into Nazis.

There’s data weights for recency, so after a certain point “next year is 2026” will stop being weighted over “next year is 2027”

It’s early in the year, so that threshold wasn’t crossed yet.

It’s pretty obvious how this happened.

All the data it has been trained on said “next year is 2026” and “2027 is two years from now” and now that it is 2026 it doesn’t actually change the training data. It doesn’t know what year it is, it only knows how to regurgitate answers it was already trained on.

We need to bring back Unemployed Councils.

They want everyone on the internet so sound exactly the same.

And they’re also small and insignificant while AI is the big, bold thing in the center. It’s what people are going to see.

If you ask the average person who looks at this cover “who is the person of the year” they’re going to say “AI”. It’s intentional.

As opposed to all the other times the US removed a sovereign foreign leader? I can name more than half a dozen off the top of my head and I know there’s way fucking more than that that I’d have to look up to remember. Same as it ever was.

The “artwork” is literally giant text that spells AI. “The architects of” is a thin font off in the corner. AI is the main event.

It’s more of a branding thing I guess. It’s not like the “award” is real, it’s just “this is what the ruling class likes this year”

In tiny font compared to everything else. It’s clear AI is the person of the year.

Although “the architects of subprime mortgages” would have been a funny person of the year too.
